Description This is a digital drawing tutorial for beginners.
I've recently discovered myself how to use a graphic tablet
to achieve high-level artworks, and would like to share that
knowledge with you.

This tutorial is designed for those who know how to
draw traditionally. There's no 'magic trick' here, I'm
just giving you the tools that will allow you to use your
drawing abilities with a computer, which I think has many
new possibilities for an artist.

Full view to watch this tutorial.

View the end result Here.

The second part of this tutorial, Digital Painting, can be found here

Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the DD!
I'd like to thank everyone for their 's and lovely comments. It's awesome!

And I truly hope this tutorial will indeed help you become a digital artist!

Colombianit0 In reply to Hebesugar [2010-06-20 03:10:10 +0000 UTC]

No is not, intuos is better but for coloring like this even a bamboo works fine

Hebesugar In reply to Colombianit0 [2010-06-20 03:49:18 +0000 UTC]

then i geuss i'll save more money to buy an intous

emiri In reply to Hebesugar [2010-06-20 05:00:47 +0000 UTC]

or buy an offbrand tablet.
usually they have larger working areas, equal sensitivity. the only thing to watch for is if you care about whether or not the pen is battery operated.

Colombianit0 In reply to Hebesugar [2010-06-20 04:06:16 +0000 UTC]

Intous is the favorite of many artists

If you wanna do linearts in your computer then Use SAI tool+intous its smoother than paper+pencil it self

Colombianit0 In reply to Hebesugar [2010-06-20 04:35:03 +0000 UTC]

This artist [link] makes this comic in 4 hours with an intous 3.

No you can find intous 4 (i got it) its supposed to be better (never tried the intous 3).

If you have the money definitly go for intous 4
