Hey! Soo I want to start drawing and stuff. What do I do? I've made some stuff and have made lyric art but I want to how to get started with like a drawing tablet or something.
Oh, i don’t know if I’m the best person to talk about it, I’m not very good at giving advice ^^’ But what I can say is: to start drawing you just need to... start drawing! Think of things you like, and try drawing then. Draw from references; even tracing may be a good thing for beginners to train just to get the hang of it, (just for practicing). Look up for tutorials on the internet; there’s a lot of them, specially in sites like tumblr!
I don’t have a lot off things to say about the material part. I’ve been into digital arts for 2 and a half years. For a while, I used to draw on paper, scan it and then coloring it on Photoshop using the mouse (it isn’t as hard as it may sounds). Now I have my graphics tablet for about 9 months now. It’s a wacon intuos pen small. It’s pretty basic, and not too expensive, and it has been really so far. I can’t really talk about any other tablet or pen bc i never used any other, haha. As for programs, I really recomend paint tool sai or manga studio, because they’re more stable when it comes to drawing; it feels better and more natural then Photoshop, for example.
Other than that the only thing I can say is to just keep drawing. Even if it feels like you don’t know what to do to get better, if you just keep drawing, you’ll progress. Also try not avoiding drawing things you find hard to draw. Practice then until it’s not too difficulty. It’s easier said than done, but it’s worth the try.
