#i used a new paint program for this

[georgewashingtonuwu]

“Rest for the Weary.”

I SOOO proud of this drawing. like, completely went past what i thought i could do.

Though this is *technically* a part 2 of a wip i didn’t finish yet, it can be it’s standalone thing, idk

it took me 12 hours all together, which sucks because when i al’s most finished the lines i was like “wow, i’m gonna do a record on this one” no the lineart took another 6 hours and then the coloring a 4.

They make me happy

(link to part 1) technically, but not rly prt 1. like this could be it’s own standalone art but ait does exist as a prt 2

What kind of tablet and app do you use or recommend for digital art?

personally i use Procreate on an ipad, like the vanilla bitch i am! it Is a good program, but i've previously used & been happy with Medibang, i've heard good things about Krita and Clip Studio.

as for tablets, i started out with a Huion pen tablet! that one worked pretty damn well once i got used to watching a screen instead of my hand as i drew! it's a pretty decent brand, but there are tons of others that are Not Half Bad too

but really, you can make anything work! there are a lot of different options out there - a good way to find Your Best Fit is looking up programs/tablets, reading reviews, comparing and contrasting to see what appeals to You!

#like my first program was autodesk sketchbook on my phone #and that worked for me for a While! i even continued using autodesk when i got my huion #then i used medibang for a spell before i was gifted the ipad for my... eighteenth maybe? or was it graduation... dont remember #but yeah and procreate i think Is worth it #like i hate apple (the company. love the fruit) but daaaaamn procreate #all i can say really is Dont do photoshop #some people will say 'oh get photoshop' Its Not Worth It #its expensive and complicated and other programs do the same thing Cheaper and Easier #the only thing i can actively complain about procreate is a lot of the features are hidden #there's no immediately accessible guide #ive been using it for the past hmmmm 3 years i think? #and i JUST discovered a new function last week #and theres definitely more #the program with the second-most-glowing reviews ive heard of is clip studio paint #but krita sounds mighty fine too! #rambles from the bog #hope this helps!!!

#ms paint continues to be one of my favorite programs to doodle in lol #adventure time #petrigrof #simon petrikov #betty grof #at #my art #my post #sorry for the cryptic wording in the tags below- tumblr hit the post the first time I tried 🥲 #in the trials of trying to set up a new twitter page #the site auto-hid a no cl*thing pic of betty I put up- I thought it was bc of the tag I put on so I reuploaded it without it #but it still ended up getting hit #after a bit of digging I'd learned that there was something I needed to switch on to prevent that #it's fixed now- though the post's visibility definitely got hurt by not knowing that first #live and learn haha- probably won't reupload it a third time rn but maybe in the future #on a side note though I also finished a simon pic a little bit ago that I'm hoping to post sometime soon #once I get past the initial nerves since I'm not used to posting something that expl**it lol #I'll definitely try to post whatever I can though while twitter is still the least bit stable

Good morning !! 🌞

#today I’m going to learn how to use clip studio paint even if it pains me #don’t get me wrong I’m super hyped to use csp but I also despise learning new art programs 😭 this is for the better U_U

speaking of XR accessibility - I’ve been meaning to make an XR art resources masterpost since people seemed to appreciate the one I did about other XR artists!

is there anything you guys would be interested in in particular? current headsets and their pricing? lists of free art apps? links to tutorial video series? all of the above?!

#let me know!! #i’d love to help more people get into xr art #not only because i want more people to create alongside #and because it’s so plain FUN #but also because the xr industry is like. desperate for new talent #i don’t know how to code. i don’t know how to use 3d modeling programs or game engines #and yet i’m making a living as a developer JUST because i can create things in-headset #i never even went to college!!! i don’t have a degree!!!!!! #i was just a 2d illustrator but the process of painting in 3d with my hands felt so natural #that it wasn’t too difficult to learn #being good at art and having an eye for composition is really all you need to start out #auropost

#had trouble getting this with the right colors #had to go in and edit the png after exporting bc the colors were really desaturated from some reason #new art program problems *shrug* #i used clip studio paint instead of firealpaca for this one #csp's painting is so satisfying #i dont paint much #but this is my new fav #when i was sketching i couldnt decide whether to give him straight hair or curly hair #my pen demanded curly. so i went with that (i couldnt get the straight hair to look right) #its more wavy but u know what i mean #AAAAA #somehow i had the canvas size set to like 1700 in CSP. that is *tiny* #idk how this doesnt look like a mess w such a low resolution XD #but it worked! #tma #the magnus archives #his lips gave me the most trouble oof #i just kinda gave up on them and left it as is #this man.

[squiddleknitted]

the awesome thing about working in paint is its on every windows computer ever so its totally fine if im using someone elses computer

#my art #sometimes i use other programs for certain aspects of stuff i make but this is a hundred percent ms paint only no filters #apparently theres a canvas size limit btw #tumblr probably wrecked the quality so feel free to open in a new tab and like zoom in or whatever

HEY there's new folks here since I last rambled about Rebelle, and they've got a HUGE sale going on for the preorder of the next version, SO

TL;DR: amazing traditional-paint-emulating drawing program on huge preorder discount, $30 for Pro version GO GET YOU YOURS

I've been using the digital art program Rebelle for a bit over a year, and it is SO GOOD at emulating the feel of working with traditional paints, pencils, and pastels! It's got thick (or thin) impasto texture for oils/acrylics, water physics (!!) for watercolors, and can actually use the texture of your canvas to affect both wet and dry media brushes. It feels SO MUCH better than hooking a texture into a brush and working on a canvas that just...doesn't match it, or applying a texture afterward. BUT ALSO they're gonna be updating it soon, and adding not just standard digital niceties, but also METALLIC. PAINTS. Plus more texture stuff you can control, and even better texture reactivity, but METALLIC! PAINTS!! USING THE BUILT-IN LIGHTING AND TEXTURE SHENANIGANS, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO MESS AROUND WITH WRANGLING/OUTSOURCING EFFECTS YOURSELF

And the pre-order price from now until November 30th is ONLY $30 for the Pro version (which I absolutely recommend!), when the price is usually $150 (!!). The Pro preorder price will increase to $50 from December 1st to the 13th, then full price when it releases on December 14th. And they don't do subscription! Just free updates (typically good and/or requested features, as well as bugfixes), in between full upgrades like this that have been HUGELY discounted on release.

You can check out further info on Version 7's upgrade features, as well as the link to buy it, via the link at the top of the post. BUT if you wanna test out basic watercolor simulation, and/or test the trial version of Rebelle 6 (I think) to see if you like how it feels? You can check out this link: https://www.escapemotions.com/products/rebelle/try/

(Also they often do this sort of thing with the free bonus papers for spreading the word, as mentioned at the beginning of the Version 7 info link. I think it's happened...at least each time they've done a version upgrade, maybe once or twice in between? And it's been a different set of papers each time. But I already did my shared-post earlier. This post is genuinely just 'cause I think stuff like the feel of brushes reacting to visible texture and water physics (which you can pause!) are SO NICE, and the preorder price is bonkers-cheap. I still need side stuff like Affinity for like...fonts, but Rebelle is my current favorite for actual drawing and painting.)

PERSONAL EXAMPLE TIME

Playing around with watercolor drips, because you can control the "tilt" of the canvas (via either a tablet's features if it can, or a disk in the UI if not): Bakuratober Ghost prompt

Using canvas texture to get a RAD cracked-paint look on a dark canvas (I used the Straw canvas from the "Mulberry Coconut & Straw" purchasable paper set): Bakuratober Vampire prompt

Taking advantage of thick acrylic texture (plus watercolor which flowed into the brush streaks for emphasis), to simulate both muscle and sand texture (body horror warning): Bakuratober bonus prompt (Nightmare)

Combining a mildly textured pencil with a subtly textured canvas to emulate how I use physical colored pencils (plus layer effects for glowy ghosties): Bakuratober Dancer prompt

Combining wet canvas and watercolors to let the pigment feather out to create a "blurry" foreground effect (plus setting lineart as a masking fluid layer to keep colors contained): Disco (Elysium) Harmony

#rebellle #rebelle 7 #art programs #get you some fancy digital paint #that uses 3d-type features to make the canvas and thick paint look legit #and feel so much closer to traditional art than any other program I've used #except I can actually work well with watercolors because I can pause the physics or cleanly erase #there's more neato features but I've already rambled so much #I've done some other stuff but most of my experimentation was with Bakuratober prompts okay #and I did those in Rebelle 5 but they would've been easier in 6 #because that added clipping masks and suchlike #but otherwise they would've looked the same #I'm kinda glad I've been too burned out to do an upgraded/Rebelle iteration of Dr. Armitage yet #(as is my wont every time I find a new drawing program) #because now I'll be able to use the TYPOGRAPHY PAPER since I can change its color #and NOT HAVE TO SWAP PROGRAMS TO ADD THE GRADIENT #and shiny new unique bonus of LEGIT-SILVER PEN NIB FINGERNAILS

Yeah so my Photoshop isn't working, idk what's wrong with it. It opens just fine but won't do anything else. Idk how to fix it but i'm trying like everything. My computer works otherwise just fine otherwise, paint program just won't paint!

Obv i can't do any art if i don't have an art program to do it. So im sorry but i'm just trying my best to figure this out😵‍💫 Guess it's traditional art it is before i sort this out.

#god i dont know what went wrong #everything was fine and then my sister used it and now its busted #like we joke she breaks all tech but jeez she actually might #obv idk what has gone wrong with this i dont think its my comouter it is PS #but yeh if i have to buy a new program idk #i really wanted to finish two artworks i have and then do commissions but I GUESS #photoshop had another idea how to work this out #i have few traditional paintings im working on
