Hey yall, sorry to post this here I’ve tried asking in a couple other subreddits but the rules are strict about what can and can’t be posted and this was the only art one I could find that didn’t have a rule against asking about mediums

I’m in the midst of buying my first tablet for drawing. Up until this point I’ve used my finger on ibis paint or when permitted, someone else’s iPad procreate. I love procreate but it’s apple exclusive and I cant afford apple’s jacked prices. Ibis paint is great, and I’d be willing to use that alone if need be, problem is all the tablets I’ve glanced over are only compatible with androids and computers which is kind of unfortunate since I use an iPhone and want to be able to transfer art to and from my devices. I’m not against getting an apple device (after saving) if it comes down to it, but it’s my last resort atp

TLDR: Is there a tablet out there that’s cheap, ibis paint compatible, AND iPhone compatible? Preferably with touch screen options if possible. Budget: ~$300

I did do a little searching but with limited knowledge, came up short. I figured either I ask and it doesn’t exist (sad but oh well) or I don’t ask and I end up spending $500+ on an apple device I otherwise don’t need

I'm good at drawing and have lots of ideas for really fun coloring pages, I'm having trouble figuring out what to do after I draw Mt images (I draw my pictures analog) I have sketchbook app ibispaint can the digital steps (which in not sure how) be done using these apps? I don't have a ton of money to hire someone to do the work for me. I'd like to learn how to do this so other people can enjoy my artwork. Can you help me understand what I need to learn .

Hey all,

I have finally bought an iPad and and Apple Pencil for drawing. I bought a keyboard, BUT I'm having unexpected issues moving to digital.

I use Clip Studio, and I only have a keyboard at this point, no drawing stand for the iPad. My weirdest problem is when I rest my drawing hand on the canvas (which I seriously cannot avoid), my pencil stops responding because my resting hand is interacting with the canvas and then I also made weird marks with the side of my hand that I then have to go back and erase. It's time-consuming and annoying.

Erasing things is also it's own annoyance since I may want to keep an edit but it's sandwiched between two things I want to erase or vice versa.

Is there anyway to not have Clip Studio recognize my hand?

Also if there are any tips in general to move from Analogue to Digital, I would love to hear.

Thanks.

Hello, I was just asking if the HUION HS611 is a suitable for learning digital art, Because I have seen it on Amazon for a sale for the price of 42.47 USD.

I have been inspired by the videos where an artist chooses a palette of colors, smears them, uses a gray scale filter, then uses a dropper to pick the colors for their art. When they finish, they take the filter off for a colorful surprise.

I can’t seem to find an app that allows this and am wondering if anyone in this community knows of one.

Thank you in advance.

I dont know what other subreddit I could of asked this so sorry if it is out of place, but I absolutely suck with digital art on a drawing tablet and im more skilled with traditional, and I was wondering by any miracle that there was a way to draw traditional use the pen strokes as an input to a drawing tablet. I must sound like an idiot but if you don't ask you dont get. If this miracle product existed I'd be overjoyed

EDIT: thanks for the answers, i'll try to adapt to digital seeing as there is no easy way out, plus the paper-screen cover does sound appealing, Ill check it out. thanks!

I’m just getting into digital painting. So far, I have only used the Mixer brush in Photoshop but want to become a little more diy. Can anyone suggest a suitable app that is beginner friendly? Obs already have Photoshop, but looking at maybe either Rebelle or Procreate. I’d mainly be using an iPad Pro 2024.

If a character is right-handed, and the drawing is front-view, the right hand will be on the left side. BUT it's not uncommon to flip the image so the right is on the right and the left on the left, which is more comfortable. I don't know how common is that, so, what do you say? Where should be the right?

I often forget about worrying about that, and my OC is ambidextrous, so I'm used to just do were I feel like. The problem is when I don't draw him, because I'm not used to solve that. Now I'm drawing a character whose handedness is an important trait, so I should do it fine.

I tried to ask this question in r/artbusiness, but it never got through, so I'm hoping it's okay to post here =,>

Are there any degrees required? Or is it just experience? I've looked at job offers, and the high-end jobs (senior artist, senior concept artist, etc) just say to have 6+ years experience, worked in 2 AAA games, and so on.

But in reality, do you actually need a degree or diploma? I am trying to look at TAFE for art, specifically for Certificate 3 options. But what's after that? Do I just build up my portfolio to perfection? Can I do internships without doing a degree? Can I work on indie-game projects for a couple of years and then get hired into bigger games?

I know these are a lot of questions, but my parents think that I will need a degree of some sort, while I am pretty sure that it is not needed. So we are in a confusing spot atm. The sort of work I'd like to do is either illustrations for games (like LOL splash art), or concept art, prop art, environment art, etc.

These questions are specifically for Australian concept artists/illustrators. But if you know some answers, I'd love for you to give me some insight anyhow!

I'm trying to figure out how to get better at art and grow a community but I'm not sure how

I've been putting in some work to grow my community but I've gotten little to no progress so far.

As for art, I want to improve my character design skills and anatomy but I'm not sure where to start.

Does anyone have any advice?

I've no idea what I am doing.

I got a huion kamvas pro-12 and I'm worried about the scrapping sounds I'm doing with my pen, is it normal?

Hi, I'm full time artist and I using wacom intuos pro S size for 5-6 years, I have tried XPPen Artist 15.6 but it makes me feel dizzy, I have motion sickness so, I'm not sure if it's because of that. After I try using bigger screen it make me like the size so, I think about getting new pen tablet that have bigger size or upgrading my wacom intuos pro S to M/L. Anyone have recommend? I prefer wacom and xppen brand, my monitor is 24".Thank you!

I'm a student and I want to go into an art field with my studies. I'm kind of looking for something that has lots of jobs available but it's not too important. I've been thinking of digital marketing or graphic design but other than those and like being an animator or a freelance things, I don't really know of many jobs in the digital art field... if anyone could recommend it'd be a great help. Also if you WORK in those field I'd love hearing about the experience.

It doesn't have to be digital art, I suppose it can just be a creative field but preferably not too complicated like architecture or web design. I'm also taking business and maths so maybe that's helpful. Also, I'd be interested in ones working from home!

Honestly anything would be helpful though

Since I have been working remotely, I haven't been able to use my Windows drawing tablet (XP Pen pro artist 15.6) as my work laptop takes up all the space and my ADHD makes it very difficult for me to stay motivated to use it as I would have to put away my work tools, set up the tablet and then put it away for the next day's work.

I've been using an Ipad with Procreate for a long time but I feel it has too many limitations, ClipStudio Paint requires a subscription on tablets and doesn't feel "smooth"... I'd like to have a tablet that feels like a Windows tablet without having to connect it to a computer and be able to use Paint Tool Sai and the Windows version of Clip Studio.

Is there such a thing?

PD: My first option was to use a VESA mount to organise my workspace, but my tablet doesn't have one and I've tried some adapters that don't work. I don't want a 20' pen display because I don't have the space.

TL;DR: Is there a tablet that works without a computer, is Windows based and feels good to draw on? (No lag, offset, bad pen, colour range, etc.)

I’ve unfortunately stumbled upon a lot of limitations with the iPad for some of the things I require. Don’t get me wrong procreate is a beauty but I need something more feature full like photoshop. I’ve been editing a-lot of things on pc because procreate jsut doesn’t have the capabilities.

I tried the Xp Pen Deco Pro and did not enjoy being unable to pinch and zoom or using the short cut key. The bulky and light stylus also wasn’t very nice. The buttons also got in the way and it wasn’t as responsive as I had hoped. It wasn’t hovering directly over what I was looking for and felt clunky.

What other options do I have and at what price points?

A touch screen display laptop? Are they worth it or have the graphics card power? I’ve seen wacoms moveink too but for that price I don’t think it’s worth it? I don’t know. The prices for all of these tablets seem like a scam when they don’t have the responsiveness or features maybe I’m just not familiar with the market and these really are the only options at such high price points…
