Anyone any experience in pixel art? Especially when only having krita as a software program. It seems so cool, but the im not sure about the learning curve, and at this point I'm not willing to purchase aseprite just yet. Any tips?
Hi! I want to start digital drawing but mainly use it (at least atm) to create vector files for my cricut. I mainly use Inkscape on my laptop but I really hate using the mouse for drawing. Now I'm not sure if a android tablet (I've been looking into the samsung S6 lite or Lenovo p11) or a drawing tablet I would use with my laptop would be the better choice.
Can I even draw and save as SVG files on a regular android tablet?
Any advice is appreciated!
Any tips on how to get the shadow of the hair strands better?

When painting digitally... what's the difference between water color and gouache?
Did you receive activation key on your email? I want to buy the program but I have to use someone's else help because I can't purchase anything that is outside my country. So I want to know about the process more 🤔
I've recently started getting back into drawing after about a 2 year break and would like to really get into digital art. I'm very experienced in traditional art with many different mediums but only a bit experienced with digital art. I used to draw on my super old Ipad with one of those cheap rubber stylists. I also used my touch screen laptop for a bit in high school as it came with a pen but I didn't like the way it felt. So I'd definitely prefer an interactive display.
I'm trying to decide between a Samsung tab and Huion kamvas. Id prefer not to get an Ipad, I just prefer samsung. I have a laptop that doesn't need an upgrade at the moment but am looking to get a pc set up in the future. I'm not currently studying and work in an office as an admin assistant.
Made this yesterday on my phone using HiPaint. Today I hijacked my wife's iPad and got ProCreate. Excited to jump in!
Fuckin' rocks... how do they work‽
Hi:) i’m looking to get into digital art. I want to get some kind of tablet with a pen and the type of digital art I’m thinking of is the kind where it’s like painting acrylic, oil, watercolour etc. but digitally. Hope that makes sense! So, my question is: are there any tablets just for making art? Or should i get an ipad and then get an app for making the art? If yes, then which app?
Thank you in advance:)
I use my fingers to draw on my phone cause I'm broke but I'm kinda tired of it now.
And to turn my traditional drawings into digital, I have to redo the entire lineart by tracing it (which isn't bad I'm just lazy). Adjusting contrast, brightness and other edits on the pic can work but I don't know if I'll be getting a good authentic quality.
How do you guys do this?
Done in Procreate! My biggest issue was figuring out the shadows. I don’t normally place my light source in the middle of a piece like this so getting the shadow directions right was pretty confusing.
Hello Reddit people, I am a digital artist and I started very recently to sell my art online and charge commissions, it is new to me, the thing is that I started using PayPal for the first time and the payments that were transferred to me were held and I do not know how to solve it someone could give me some advice and as I do not know how to use PayPal I would like you know it is possible that I am scammed can the customer make a Will the payment disappear if you don't fix it?, Should I worry about the refund?
I'm looking to upgrade from my Wacom Intuos, but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the options so I was hoping for some advice. So far I am torn between 4 option (like I said... overwhelmed):
- XPPen Artist Pro 16 £529.99
- HUION 2022 Kamvas Pro 16 2.5K £529.00
- Wacom Cintiq 16 £653.46
- Apple 2022 10.9-inch iPad Air £649.00
The XPPen and Huion seem very similar, and I don't have experience with either company. I was just going to get the Wacom, but it seems way more expensive for worse specs? The iPad I threw in because I know a lot of people enjoy using them, though I'm personally not sure the extra expense would be worth it for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, i have an ipad pro and id love to get into digital art specifically background and scenery, ofc id later want to learn to draw characters too. I have no clue how to start or where to start and what to expect. I have procreate and have messed around with it so I have a general understanding of how it works. I was hoping you guys could provide me with free resources and tips.
Online people talk about how you need to have a 300 PPI or whatever for making prints, but I don't get why the number actually matters. Is there actually a difference between a 3840x2400 image at 300 PPI and one at 100 PPI if they are going to both be printed on the same size paper?
I’ve been curious about digital art forever and finally bought a cheaper drawing tablet a few months ago and decided to give it a try. It’s been awesome to be able to really let go and allow art to happen without the giant mess or expensive supplies. This is one of my favorites so far. I call it “Chillin with my bitches”
what are the best?
