altuixde's learning to draw thread
altuixde:
I ink by hand too, but I'm worried about ruining the drawings during the inking process. If I scan them before inking, and then mess up while inking, at least I'll still have the scan. :)
DeviantProtagonist:
Well, someone is certainly on their way!
The wrist thing is spot-on, too. That's about the real practical way of getting that smoothness going. Hope to see more progress from you. :3
From my end, I've taken a liking to doodling with GIMP 2. Just getting a feel for a consistent style of art and all. Marks' Mastering Manga series has been a boon for this, so maybe I'll share my own some time soon.

When I do ink and scan, I usually just ink without scanning first. But now that you mention it, that's not a bad idea.

Yes, the pressure is on to keep showing improvement. ^^; But that's O.K., I know that if I put in the hours and the effort then the improvement will come... eventually. Thanks for checking out my art thread, Dean!

What input device are you using to draw on the computer? The ability to easily undo things and use layers is alluring, but the feeling of a stylus against glass or plastic isn't the same as the feeling of a pencil on paper. Must take some getting used to!

When I suggested using long strokes and as few as possible when inking, I don't think I actually read that anywhere so it might be wrong. I think sometimes it's better to lift the marker, reposition the hand and paper, then continue the line where you left off. The wrist thing is definitely right, though. :)
