Grace's Illustrations

[GraceMellody]

i am glad you drew me a stick figure

but it was partially a joke

out of curiosity, what kind of tablet do you draw on?

Wacom Bamboo, not sure exactly which one as I got it a few years ago
For my illustrations though, I tend to just use my mouse with the pen tool so I can get the lines precise

ahh, i getcha

probably easier to use something like illustrator for making the outlines

plus then they're vector based, so you can make them any size you want

VECTORS MAKE MY LIFE SO MUCH BETTER
Especially cause I change the size when printing

[lolin]

that is the entire purpose for which vector based art was created

bask in the glory of vectors

First time I tried using Illustrator in college I was like... this is it... this is my thing

[lolin]

illustrator's an amazing tool, that's for sure

i've only used it a few times and pen tool frustrates the hell out of me and i'd much rather just draw

[GraceMellody]

For general sketching I would definitely prefer to just draw
But for sticker designs and such I tend to use AI's pen tool because it's much quicker than me spending 10 mins to get one line "just right" xD

Ooh nice neutral colours, looks great!

I have a Wacom Intous and it's not too bad to draw with. I only have Clip Studio cus I wanted to do illustrations but it's really hard, that stickman you drew just about sums my ability to create digital art lmao.

[GraceMellody]

lmaooo honestly same when it comes to sketching ability

[lolin]

digital art and traditional art are more different than they are alike in a lot of ways

the best advice i've ever heard for getting better at digital art is to unplug your mouse and use your tablet like a mouse for a few days

[GraceMellody]

I dont think I could cope with that!

[lolin]

it's even worse if you have more than one screen

[GraceMellody]

I got excited at the idea of a pepper, do you think I can afford an extra screen?? xD

[GraceMellody]

Don't really have anything new but hey look how pretty they are printed!
