So as not to clutter up the forum, I'll update this post. Here are my latest drawings, going along with my practice at emulating real media. :]


More pencil.


Using the pastel tool.


Pen and watercolor tool.


original post:


Like the title says(it used to say "Emulating Pencil Work"), I noticed the other day I like my pencil and paper work a lot better than my digital has been turning out lately, so I worked in painter today to see how I could get the same type of work in digital as on paper.

It worked, because it turns out I've simply been putting too much pressure on my pen when working with my tablet. I guess stress has been taking its toll on my art and I hadn't even noticed.

Anyway, this is a drawing of a person wearing a hat I did to test out the skill, and I hope to post more things I make digitally that resemble my pencil work from now on. I'm very excited! I guess I'm not just getting worse, just fell into a rut. :D

very impressive really i love it

  Ooooh~
  I do love how you draw faces. The lazy-annoyed expression is just so...awesome~ ♥
  
  
  AND the way you've reproduce the pencil sketch look in paint is just so nice. The details. ohmy.

I think its lovely!

It makes me think of my chemistry teacher wearing something girly and a lot of make up. XD lol
Don't know why I think of that but it really does look like that. Very niece. <3

Very nice! I think I like the hair the best!

Thank you very much! I updated my first post with new images. I'm glad you guys enjoyed these. :] I really feel like I'm improving so I feel good about myself this week, hehe.

crystal: it's funny you should mention that because that's sort of related to what inspired me to draw it! xD
