Hey anyone can learn to draw/etc,, the males learning age tends to peak anywhere between 30-50... Its just you need to draw what you see not what your brain thinks it sees ... its just a process you need to develop like anyother skill over time, as your brains left and right sides like to battle it out a bit.. (drawing skills etc come from the right side of your brain, and the left deals with the more photo representation image you see) So you can end up with a block of visual clarity...Once you get past that your good to go...Id like to get into more heavy digital art but right now I enjoy the more simplistic stuff like the manga lines etc..
Messing about learning with another frontal face, then onto 3/4 profiles etc. This is unfinished as usual lol..

dont crit yourself too harshly. It took me years to get used to the feel of the wacom compared to pencil/paintbrush and real canvas. That is the biggest step. Once you master it, digital art becomes limitless, you can lose hours even days painting. I have anyway..

Yeah fortunatley for me ive used the tablet with 3d modeling as well, but drawing/painting digital art with the tablet needs alot more precision so once I get that down I should be ok..

I use a digital tablet everyday. I work as a full time commercial artist. I've worked as a UV Texture artist and modeller working for Lego Media, Empire Interactive, EA, and Take 2.
I work at the moment in a commercial art studio doing illustration and design for web, games, a lot of Flash stuff.
I've been drawing and painting all my life, either freelancing, Illustrating books, making video games.
I use an A4 Intuos tablet at work and have an A5 wide for home. Default settings are fine for me, the main thing is use two monitors if you can, canvas on one side, tools on the other, and if your using Photoshop brushes are king. They make or break a good CG painting.
At the end of the day it's all about confidance and working hard. I practice everday drawing and sketching, especially human figures, and this really helps when your painting. Painting with a WACOM is very liberating, when you've devloped the confidance to draw, but this is no substitute for drawing for fun with a pencil and paper. Some of my best work is done this way.

Great stuff fishy, drop some of your work into your post Brushes and my general feel for pressure on the tablet is my big aim to get right, finding the balance is key when your pen is on the tablet initialy i find, If I can a set a good sense of that with the app settings/wacom etc then ill be happy.. I only use an older intuos GD though A4 wide, but its still running flawless over all these years.

will do, always tricky on here, so as not to draw attention to yourself, got to find something that people won't instantly recognise, maybe a personnal project ... I've always liked the anonimity of this place  one or two may have a clue who I am the company I work for at the mo, want me to get something going on CGSociety when I'm not so busy, highlight the studio skills I work for

this also applies WATERGEM
Hey, I'd like to make a request, could you draw some cool pic of what you think SycoShaman (as a character) would look like? And you have free reign bro, I wanna see what you or Watergem comes up with cause, imo, I think you guys are extremely talented and I wish I had artistic skills. My only artistic skills are like I can reproduce exactly an existing drawing.
But when it comes to having a picture of what I want something to look like in my head and then trying to put it on paper, it never works out for. It never turns out the way I want. |

Syco what you just said was a flashback to me lol geebus, I to used to only draw basicaly exact copies of drawings from inside art work of say a stephen jackson book or the dice rolling game type of books.. I would enlarge the copy 10 fold and do every intricate detail and add my own as well.. Thats how my drawing interests started..
Im prob able to produce something for you, but I work when I feel the inspirations running through me lol, not like watergem there who does it for a living etc.. Im sure he could pull something alot better than me out his hat anyway.. He has had alot more experience...

Well, i think your talented man
So please, just take the name SycoShaman and create something that a) is appealing to you b) what the name SycoShaman would represent in an artistic work
@Watergem
Im also verying interested in what you can come up with man. With the same "guidelines" as I mentioned above, if its not an imposition of course. |

Hmm hard one that, im trying to shy away from more pencil drawings and stick sole only with tablet, so for that as you know there are tons of photoshop warez dvds about to learn that aspect, ill recomend one book though for you though..
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
http://www.drawright.com/ <<
Teaches you about perception on what your seeing and how to open up from your normal just photo/visual appearance of things.. as everything can be drawn as everything has a line to it..

Doodle and Doodle everywhere and on anything lol.... Im not kidding you will be pleasantly suprised what you can come up with good to begin with or not.. Creativity comes from constant scribling around with a pencil, with no real aims but I find things just pop out to me like a few lines of mess can sometimes look like something its not meant to be and just fire u up and off u go then you know what your drawing
Rather exhillirating at times if your in the real mood..

most folk sketch and sketch a general idea then with photoshop its really easy to fil in the missing info in the head, mass colour spreading on layers of diff shades then just with another layer blend it through to give you the highlights and shadows, and you get a nice bit of art in the end.. practice is the key..
Chinese type shaman dingdong whatever etc lol im getting much better with the wacom pen now im not having to go back 100 times when sketching to much to clean up. woot, wrist and eye is starting to gel lol..

hahaha cool!
