I’m struggling with digital art :]

[GEBynum]

Dear GOD why is my traditional art always so much better than my digital art-
they’re literal doodles.. yet they look better than what I can do with my finger and a software- OH WAIT IT MIGHT BE THE PENCIL. I forgot :\

You can like do the sketch on paper and then take a picture off it and them import it to whatever drawing app you use and then use the sketch to draw whatever you want to draw. And you can also find tutorials on how to shade in digital art online. There is also a person online who ****izes people's drawings and tells them how to improve them and gives good art tips. I will add a link to one off his videos https: //www. youtube. com/ shorts /K9DS8BjJAAw so you can check it out if you want.

THANK YOU!! I’ve actually thought of this before briefly but brushed it off.. but it genuinely might be the solution

What a lot of artist struggle with when it comes to going from traditional to digital is that most programs, if not set up correctly or by default, there is a delay or even to put it in more simple terms what you're drawing is not lining up exactly to where you're drawing with your stylist/hand aka offset. Fixing offset depends heavily on what you're using to draw on, draw with, and the program you use; meanwhile in traditional artwork you don't have this.

Art isnt something you will master in a day, Art is something you develop over time. Your current art style you might not be a fan of and if so look at what part you arent a fan of, Make alterations to it, Study artists you like and so on!

What would 100% help you with that is working on your line work. You traditional looks way better, yes, but your lines look very unconfident which as a result your digital lines doesn't look as great since digital requires a much more precise line work. You can try out Drawabox routines, it's a great resource for learning art fundamentals. Don't overdo it though, try to have fun.

with me, traditional art or painting was way easier then getting into digital. It took me to scroll on pinterest or instagram of other artists and watching their speed arts to see how they did their technique. Some brushes are easier than others but don't rely on them too much, all they do is make things more convenient. (i use a brush with shrek minimized into it.) Make sure to also take advantage of opacity and layers, there is NEVER TOO MANY LAYERS.
