Hi! I used to draw a lot when I was a child, and after I owned my first computer I stopped to draw at all. It's been a long time that I want to try digital painting but my drawing skills are not so good anymore and I would like to start to draw right on photoshop. I have tried and it's being hard, my linework looks too…
Now I see what you say. I'm watching some videos at Ctrl+Paint, and the instructor says that we shouldn't use the wrist and fingers to draw, but I have to use them a lot to be able to draw something.
It means you'll get the most out of the feedback. The more room you have to grow the better. The drawing you linked in the OP isn't too shabby, either. :)
I prefer using a small sized tablet. I grew up drawing in notebook sized sketchbooks, and smaller tablets helped me with the way I am comfortable painting/drawing. Your lines will smooth out with practice. I also found when I first started with a tablet the 'smoothness' caused my lines to be a bit wobblier. I put a piece…

Thank you guys!! So the problem is me :poly136: Yeah I would like to test a larger tablet but unfortunately I don't have any friend that owns one. .... I'm thinking on start a thread to show something and get some crits, but my drawing and painting are still really bad, don't know if it will be worth.
Thanks everyone for the reply! It seems that the medium ones are the best choice (price vs size). I will keep doodling using this small tablet and start saving money to buy a medium one if I keep drawing. I don't know if I'm not going to give up at the very begining :poly131: Using reference and not looking like the…
I second this, i've been using the postcard sized wacom for 6 years... first one i ever bought lol! I'm used to it now but when using the bigger ones it is noticable that you use less wrist action and more elbow movement (or have the ability too). Thanks for the link to that drawing/learning website rather interesting ^_^.
