Please Teach Me!?


Recommended Posts

Ahhh,practice is the best teacher. Do you draw on your computer only? Or also with pen and paper? You can also watch tutorials or buy a helping book (not many or expensive ones) to help you getting a grip on anatomy and perspective.In the end practice, practice and practice! ^^

Start off by ditching software such as MS Paint. I recommend GIMP because it's close to Photoshop and sometimes even better. It's completely free too, I use it on a daily basis.GIMP can also be used to paint traditonal line art, assuming that you have a scanner. Here I'll give you one of my old tutorials: http://theonlyhorse.deviantart.com/art/Digital-colouring-of-traditional-line-art-310327280

I'm using a Wacom Intuos 5 tablet and GIMP/Paint Tool SAI when it comes to software. But you really don't need a tablet to make good art. The tutorial I linked a few posts up is great for traditional artists that want to paint digitally. You can also try GIMP's path tool, makes nice and smooth lines.

LoL this is the third time I post picture this on the forums... You can make awesome stuff with GIMP, here's a dragon I made 2010 http://theonlyhorse.deviantart.com/art/Castle-Wallpaper-Dragon-181329740
