Thought I might as well give it a shot...especially if i want to do more conceptual stuff later on, it's a good tool to learn.

this is amazing! How quickly did you pick up digital art? Do you find it easier or harder than traditional?

Nice Glider! I showed you to my illustrator friend, and he finds your really inspirational. Now that you're doing digital, and see the transition is easy, he'll definitely feel easier about moving to digital art.

Chairman, I'm not glider, but have experience with illustration, and I definitely say digital art is much easier. The amount of tools/features that Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator bring make it much easier. If anything is hard to learn, it's the wacom tablet you're using. If you're using your mouse to draw, you're doing it wrong.

indeed easier once you get used to the tools ( I kept looking down at my hand still here and there). But of course the features and the things you can do is way easier than physical , especially physical color media.

Yea, I felt like transitioning from physical to digital is really about learning the tools, learn how layers/history works, hotkeys, and getting used to the pressure sensitivity on the drawing pads. The layers, history is probably the most powerful tools you have for digital art in my opinion. Oh how great it feels to be able to draw over things without having to worry about fucking it up, and re-doing.

Looks awesome. Was there a specific reason why the window was that size? Just a more comfortable resolution to work with? I initially assumed it was because you were using a tablet with a small display but if you were looking down at your hands by accident I guess not.

sorry I didn't see this before. It's not too hard to pick up digital art (this is first full piece I did after messing with brushes for a bit)

I already had some knowledge with Photoshop regarding selections, layers, tones, color picker, liquify, history and all that essential stuff so it wasn't too bad. Just the tablet that I need to get used to. I'm painting much slower here than I could have with experience definitely.

Holy cow, man. For an early attempt at digital this is really incredible! Puts all my work to shame, having spent years doodling in Photoshop. And so fast, too, even with the timelapse. I don't have a tablet (frankly I find them intimidating, particularly Wacoms because of the disconnect between drawing on a surface that you're not looking at) so I use pencil then trace over it with the Pen tool, and even a simple drawing can take 6-8 hours. You make it look really easy.

Yea you kinda just get used to not looking at your hands anymore. I think that's one of the biggest issues when moving from illustration physically to digital art. But, that's the point, you can make mistakes, and easily fix them.

Amazing how much it looks like a picture! You really have a thing for looking into peoples souls and representing them on paper, or in this case cgi
