don't use gimp, it's one of the worst software that exists (and I'm not talking about worst photo editing software, I'm talking about worst software, period.)

For drawing try Krita or firealpaca instead, both of which are also available for free.

For inspiration / drawing prompts you better try a /beg/ thread here on /ic/, or a draw thread over at /b/.

Draw a sheep.

sheep

learned about colors kinda
learned the native brushes in gimp are shit
learned how to draw a sheep.

how do people get the nice brushy looking lines like in webcomiics and doodles?

>>3024973
Nice sheep.
Most webcomic authors I've seen talk about their brushes just recommend a plain hard round brush. What kind of lines do you mean?

your avg cutesy webcom with no hard lines, just lots of thick smooth lines and whatnot.

I can't think of an immediate example, so nvm.

that sheep was my first digital thing ever. i dl'd krita like the dude said and its instantly better that the gimp

Its a learning curve.

If u dont wanna learn a tablet buy a cintiq save urself the stress.

I was about to make a topic, I was looking to buy a tablet, the "next" model over that OP posted, Intuos Pro or something, with buttons on the left side the model ID was hard to memorize.

I need advice, I am an hobbyist but I got the will to use it. Used to own a bamboo, but I felt it was impractical (lack of buttons, small). It sells for a over 200€ here. Also wondering if it's recommended at all.

Also wondering if it's worth buying PS over pirating it...

my favorite part about this tablet is how it stops working after only a couple months, with no way to fix it.

Maybe it would have lasted longer if you stopped masturbating all over it.

Did you enable pressure sensitivity in GIMP?

I used to use GIMP, but then after one update, the UI became annoying af. Now I use myPaint, which also has great brushes.

Pic drawn in gimp to emphasize the pressure sensitivity thing idk
