ConfusedWolfie - Art School Journey

[ConfusedWolfie]

What’s up Everybody Im super excited to be here lol I’ve never done this type of thing before. I really hope to use this program to build a platform to stand on, - and some friends maybe? - so that one day I can create Webcomics/commissions/whatever else my heart desires and not feel horrible about how it turns out. Please feel free to give tips and stuff I would really appreciate it.

This is my first and second day of the Pen Exorcize, lemmie tell yah I really had to tweak some setting to make this feel right lol but I’m still working on it. ZERO STABALIZATION IS SO PAINFULLLL! Have a nice day peeps

heyos!! welcome to the forums!

your straight lines look AWESOME! your circles are a bit wobbly but with practice, I'm sure it'll turn out great

[ConfusedWolfie]

Thanks for the encouragement and yeah lol the circles are giving me some issues for sure I’m kinda slowing down a lot there but I’ll keep working on it

[ConfusedWolfie]

The zero stabilization is a bit of a nightmare right now

[JimSt]

Are you drawing your circles from your wrist? If you aren't using your shoulder, you might want to try that. If you already are using your shoulder, try making the circle in a quicker more flowing motion.
None of these are perfect (a couple are close), but I fill up a page of these every morning as part of my warm-ups.

[ConfusedWolfie]

Great idea actually, not too serious and pretty fast but still helps develop the motions. I’m gonna start doing this. Also not sure how far to zoom into the canvas when doing it my tablet is 13 inch so maybe 150% maybe 170? I’m really not sure

[JimSt]

Try out a bunch and see what works for you.
my default "sketch" canvas is 1600x1200 with the view set to "fit height" on a 16" 1080p display. i use a brush with fade in/fade out and this was set at size 20. It's also a great opportunity to play with line weight. I also experiment with directionality and where I start the stroke. I also do a "page" of straight lines, then a page of S and C curves.
