Yoo. I'd like some advice. I've been trying to break into digital painting now for a while, and i'm just not very good at it. For illustration, it's always just clicked naturally the more i practice, and I never really needed instruction. Just having fun with it was more efficient than being taught.
It seems like this is NOT the case for digital painting. I keep trying and it's just not getting to that point where i'm good enough that i can try new things and have fun with it.
Also, this is probably because I started with pen/ink illustration, but i literally cannot paint shit without lineart as a guideline, which is frustrating.
Any tips that helped you gitgud would be greatly appreciated, or just your general opinion on the matter (maybe digital painting just isn't for me? will it come with time? etc).
I'll dump some of my art as well so you can see what I mean.
And i apologize in advance if i made any mistakes, first time posting on this board.

This is probably the best thing i've painted without lineart, and i couldn't do it again if i tried. Also relying on one color is the only reason it looks halfway decent.

I'm out of things that can be considered paintings.

Try to emulate the style of painters you like? Honestly try and break down what they are doing, copy over their stuff into your drawing program and play around with it. Sometimes I like to erase a large portion of a piece I like and try to recreate it. Besides that, it really just comes down to good value control to get that "god of painting" feel.

I'll give it a shot. I tend to stay away from doing studies because they just frustrate me but if it's beneficial i'll push through it.

Only valid reply. This shouldn't be its own thread.
