My PFP ⟩ Drawing Process 🩵✨

@samueltyler2 Yes I'm a digital NSFW artist (mostly cartoonish styles), but I plan to experiment with styles quite a bit on here and maybe upload a couple pics of pencil and pen sketches too every now and then. (=

@Startide i have tried almost all media except digital. One of my instructors demonstrated her use of such. I should try it. I do not use Apple equipment though.

@samueltyler2 Me neither, I use a Huion tablet which connects to my PC when in use. Switching from a physical to digital medium can feel daunting at first, both due to the lack of physical contact with the art itself, and because it additionally takes a while to learn how to use the drawing program efficiently. I switched one year ago and I still draw faster traditionally, but I love that everything is available within one program; all the colors of the rainbow, any "texture" imaginable, as well as other quirks that come with digital art like adding noise, or the fact that I never need to restock art supplies. (=

@Startide that sounds great. are you able to truly vary the pressure and alter the result? I have used some drawing in post-photo processing, but never just the digital media. Many of my drawings are in my albums.

@samueltyler2 Yes absolutely, but you'll need a pressure sensitive stylus and compatible screen. My stylus came with my tablet. Fair warning, it feels very different from using pressure IRL, but you can costumize the pressure sensitivity in the tablet and even for each different brush. You can also alter your finished lineart if you drew it on a vector layer, which ends up saving a lot of time for stylized art. I especially like the "free transform" option; rather than simply resizing and moving, you can actually scew the selected lines. I took a look at your gallery and it looks like you enjoy still life and figure drawing in particular? The photographs are beautiful too.

@Startide yes, i like to draw both figures and still life, i enjoy photographing similar, but when on vacation i enjoy landscapes and landmarks. I have been doing this since i was a young child. If drawing a figure and have no model, i have used my own image at times.
