I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF

It sounds a little strange but I feel that I'm killing mentanly with all this related with art and the social nets, being honest, I don't know, if my art is bad or simply, I am not an expert in draw as other artist, I'm disappointed because I'm in various social nets and after those years that I've been in those social net, I haven't look sonething type of change in this, I'm so sad and disappointed, I don't know what I can do more for fit in the nets with my arts but the only that I know, my art doesn't worth it. Instagram, Twitter and Deviantart are killing me

[Graduate Project Survey] Seeking Your Help to Improve Digital Painting Apps for Tablet Users! 🎨🙏

Hello, r/DigitalPainting community!

I’m currently working on my graduate project, focusing on understanding the needs, challenges, and preferences of digital painting app users, specifically on tablets (primarily Android). I’m in need of as much feedback as possible from experienced and passionate digital artists like you to ensure that any solutions developed truly align with artists' needs.

The survey only takes about 5 minutes, and every response will make a big difference. If you’re able to participate, here’s the link to the survey: Google Forms Survey.

Thank you so much for considering! Your insights could be key in shaping a better experience for tablet-based digital painting apps. 🙌

Is a degree necessary?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help advise on whether a degree is really necessary for a role in game art or graphic design?

I am in a situation where it would be difficult for me to go to university for this (I am in the uk) I wanted to know if employers care about this and if I am likely to be successful in this field without one?

Thanks :)

What drawing tablet should I get?

I'm using my brother's Wacom Cintiq DTK 1301 at the moment, but it is pretty damaged and its display is very scratched. It is, also, pretty inconvenient to carry all those wires with me when I go in trips or when I'm on the go. I would like to get a second graphic tablet, but I don't want anything Apple related since I'm on a budget. I heard that Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 would be a good choice, but I'd like to hear more opinions.

Asking for advice: Best drawing tablet for the price

Hi, I would like to seek suggestions/advice which one should i buy as my first drawing tablet. My budget is around 300usd. These are what i found available in the market:

Used/2nd hand:

  1. Huion Kamvas 22 plus ($180)
  2. Huion Kamvas rds 160 *almost brand new ($248)
  3. XP Pen Artist pro 15.6 - lots of sellers ($128-140)
  4. Huion Kamvas 16 pro ($188)
  5. Huion Kamvas pro 13 "2.5k" ($188)

I've done watching some reviews online, but it was actually overwhelming for me. I am also confused on the name or versions of some items. I am also not familiar with some specs.

My other consideration is a new xiaomi pad 6 ($300). I am open to other suggestions, used or brand new within the budget. TYIA

UGEE UE16 vs Huion Kamvas 13?

Could I ask for some help, please? This is outta my depth. I haven't been around digitisers, etc for a long time.

My daughter is into art and design. Still a kid, she shows aptitude and wants to go digital. Accordingly, she has asked for a drawing tablet

their features seem fairly similar, other than one being bigger than the other. When discounts/deals are applied to the Ugee, there is about AUD$20 (USD$13.40) between the two

After reading this /r and other external sources, it seems to come down to:

[a] UGEE UE16, or;

[b] Huion Kamvas 13

These two have been selected because the features seem fairly similar, other than one being bigger than the other. There is about AUD$20 (USD$13.40) between the two when discounts/deals are applied to the Ugee, so it's roughly similar cost.

If you HAD to choose one, as a junior artist going into digital drawing, which one would you choose and why?

Cheers - Doki.

Drawing tablet recommendation?

My cat killed my 5-year-old XP-Pen Artist 12 pro. It was great. I would like to buy a new one. I am currently thinking about XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro or 15.6 Pro because XP-Pen got my trust with that A-12. But I am curious about other options. I can see Huion, Wacom (too pricey I know) and other possibilities on the internet but I would like to ask people without product promotion, what are you using? What is your experience?

(Ps: I am talking about drawing displays on the first place)
