mdom, I absolutely love how Quiet is "censored" by cat! Made my day XD

Mdom I almost look like I'm waiting for you to draw me like one of your french girls XD

Fishie art! *steals it* I am gonna end up drawing something even if it kills me

Bonk. Tiva gets a coin for the third post on page 6.

Aww mdom's drawings are so cute

Such a violent bonk!

Probably shouldn't draw art that kills you, Tiva. Bad plan.
XD

Quiet, I think it's great!

Also I love Krita for everything but text XD

More art incoming: http://i.imgur.com/nZYPZUR.png

I think it's lovely mdom ^_^

Thanks ^^

Time to art the kitties!

Wish me luck here. I'm uncertain about straight lines so we'll see what happens.

Yay! Kitties!
OwO

waaaa that's beautiful, Pessimisticat ^^ thank you!!!!

Ooh. That's really pretty.

I has kitty art!

Shaky hands again means slightly stylized kitty art. This will just be my thing now. It's relaxing to do though. I'm basically just putting the pen down and following it around the canvas in a sort of shape and texture.

I really like the way they look, Quiet :)

Don't worry too much about shaky lines, once you get used to it the stability gets better. There's also some options to increase "smoothness" in Krita as well. I believe it's the tools tab near the layer and brush selectors.

I have a, um, copy of SAI if you want.

My kitties look so cute! Thanks, Quiet! I love it!!!

They look pretty cool, QMC!

Espy, I tried Sai. I adored the linework tools but I hated pretty much everything else >_> Plus, my copy one day started crashing every time I went to save something, and I decided that might mean it wasn't for me XD

Furry art today -> http://i.imgur.com/l2JptYI.png

Squeeeee!!

Thank you so much ^_^

The pen makes it worse yeah, but I legit just have shaky hands. I wanted to cry when I tried drawing again after my transplant and couldn't draw a smooth line to save my life. It's worse some days than others, depends on how much I've already done that day. It's a side effect of one of the pills I take. People often ask if I'm nervous because my of my hands trembling. I've just shifted my art style now to more abstract and brush work over lines, unless those lines are fast or very short.

I'm excited. tonight I have to edit some stuff for work art wise, so after that I can doodle some nudies =D

Fast, short lines is the only real way I get non shaky lines as well. Anything else, I generally have to use art tools to clean up XD

Adjusting styles to fit within your current situation is fine though. And I really think the stuff you've put up is great ^_^

People are generally pretty surprised when they learn I have relatively unsteady hands. But then again, I'd /love/ to have nice, clean lines and sketches. Unfortunately, that just doesn't really happen.

Such pretty art y'all :)

Thanks!


I've learned the more I draw in one sitting, the less shaky my hands get, I guess because they get used to the motions, so I often end up with garbage for the first few lines (or first many lines depending on the day) but eventually I can get to something I feel I can work with. I use very soft lines at first so I can erase easily and then go over them with more pressure once I'm happy with how they are starting to look.

I'm beginning to think that the less refined art styles like impressionism or abstract stuff is more my natural style, or at least it feels that way. Lately I've taken to painting with my hands and have found it great fun, and it feels more "arty" somehow. It started because I had a 12x12 canvas and the largest brush (from the dollar store) was only 3/4 of an inch wide and I didn't want to put up with all the time it would take to get the paint on. Much faster to just dump the stuff on my hands and start smearing. ;)

I think I might try another hand painting tomorrow. I have to make myself do art now because it just doesn't rank all that high in my priorities. I could also bring a couple small blocks to my sister's for my nephews to mess around with. Yay, washable crayola paint!

You ever try using a palette knife?

No, actually. I like textures and such, but I usually get them with just varying brush strokes or outright bashing the paper. 90% of what I do is usually watercolour, so I haven't experimented much with thicker paints. I play around with dollar store acrylic because it's cheaper and it's pretty thin compared to the professional stuff.

I really would like to get some more proper art instruction one day. I haven't had any since high school, mostly because of the cost.
