oh my god you are an amazing artist!!! i've been working on my art for a while now and i feel confidant on paper, but i'm having a hard time adjusting to digital. are there any techniques or websites you'd recommend? (btw i draw on an ipad)
You’re trying to adjust to drawing on an ipad. Oh precious child. I’m impressed by your determination tbh. From what i understand ipads have absolutely 0 pressure sensitivity (ie drawing lighter gives you lighter, smaller brushstrokes, drawing harder gives you darker, larger brushstrokes) so that’s probably a huge part of why it’s been tough to adjust. I’ve never tried using an ipad to draw but I’ve tried drawing on my phone before and gave up in two days.
Assuming you have access to a computer or laptop, it’s worth the investment to buy a tablet that’s intended to be used for drawing. You don’t have to drop hundreds of dollars, Monoprice actually makes some decent tablets for around $40-$60.
If you need to stick with the ipad though, I’d recommend playing around with the opacity of your brushes in whatever app you’re using. When I’m sketching it feels a lot more natural to me to have my brushes set at 30-45% opacity instead of 100%. That way you can layer your lines more like a pencil. I only ever really use 100% for flat colors. Unfortunately I don’t have any specific websites to point you towards. A lot of my digital knowledge just came from playing around in PS on my own and picking up tips here and there from other artists.
Other than that, it’s just a matter of drawing a lot. I switched to digital art about 3 years ago and it’s only been within the last year that I’ve really felt comfortable with it. Just keep going, you’re doing good!
