naaah you dont need a tablet.. get a big assed block of really cheap paper and a pencil and draw and draw and draw.. thats the only thing that will make you good. Draw everything, anything.. Using cheap paper also has the added benefit of you not really caring too much about fucking it up... scrunch it up throw it away…
draw from life to learn how to draw. you can trace shit with a tablet, which may help, but if you really want to beef up your drawing skills, draw something from life at least once a day every day. drawing what you see helps you visually and mentally pick out form and depth far more than using any photograph. tracing shit…
I suppose your also not looking at the point your drawing at too when your using a tablet which is essential when you draw, I don't know I just seem to be somewhat better at drawing lately but maybe thats just practice!
I'm inclined to think yes but am interested in your thoughts. Like many I use a wacom and think its one of the best investments i've made. Since your essentially holding and moving a pencil and perform often identical movements and strokes to drawing would you say using a wacom actually improves your drawing…
I haven't been able to transfer my pencil drawing skills to the tablet at all. Probably just need more practice. In the end I don't think it matters much. Drawing is more about observation rather than the physical act of rendering images on paper. If you do it through photoshop, or modeling, or any way, as long as you…
yeah the ctr z thing is a bitch, when i draw on paper, im much more careful about what i do, and how i do it, one wrong line can really damage your drawing so by using paper, you will learn much more to focus on your strokes. (imo)
It's a trade-off, but I'd say if you go at it the right way, a tablet can definitely help improve drawing skills. For me, what it allowed me to do was break out of my artistic shell and sketch more, draw tons of random shit and just erase it without wasting paper, pencils and the like. Digital sketching also allows easy…
I can draw quite well with pencil (won a few awards for hyperrealism), but it seems like I have to completely relearn everything I know when I draw with a tablet. There's so many little tricks built into the muscular memory of my hand that I can't seem to transfer over to a tablet. >_< Having a plethora of brushes, layers,…
I have definitely found this to be the case. I've not been able to do as much drawing in the last few months as I would like, but been doing tons of modeling and sculpting, and it is easier to draw now than when I was last able to regularly. Probably just a mix of more time spent thinking visually and raw hours spent…
