Can I ask a question? I have a bamboo pen and touch tablet (that's what it's called). It's a pretty basic tablet, but suitable for my needs.

My question is: Is it normal to push really hard on the tablet? I use Photoshop and I tried one of the pressure sensitive controls (the harder you push, the darker the color). I have to push pretty hard in order to get a dark color. I'm afraid of ruining my tablet.


I was pretty hard on my tablet when I first got it, and it's still working perfectly fine. If you feel uncomfortable with the amount of pressure you're using, you can always adjust it in the Wacom Tablet Properties utility. In Windows, I generally have my Intuos set right between "Soft" and "Firm." It sounds like your tip feel may be a bit on the firm side.

Are we going to be seeing some art  from you soon? :D

Thanks for answering.

I try to draw when I can, but I'm really busy all the time x_x

I'm working on something right now, I'll post it here first for sure! :D

As promised, here's my drawing :)



I'm pretty nooby so ALL feedback is welcome - This is my first for real drawing ever, besides when I first tried out my drawing pad. This took maybe four sessions to complete, each session around 2 hours.

Thanks Marucha for making this thread :)

I am no art aficionado, but only criticism I could give is something about the ears look off. Still is amazing though!

Thanks for the feedback. You're right, I'll check it out later. I'm tired from drawing atm XP

That's amazing. Did you use a model, or was that from scratch?

Thanks! :D

I wish I had an imagination haha, no she's a model. I was just randomly browsing the internet when I came accross a pic of this girl. Dat glowing skin, I just had to draw her! So I saved it onto my HDD for later, then I saw this thread and it reminded her. Thanks again, Marucha :)

So, you got any feedback before I upload it to DeviantArt?

Hmm, well, I'll have to copy Spurge and say I'm no art aficionado either. Heh. The only thing I can point out is that her pupils aren't quite centered the irises. They seem a bit on the small side(I usually draw mine too big) and her irises aren't entirely round. From this angle they wouldn't be perfect circles, but they would be a bit more elliptical. Eyes are also quite reflective, so the light should be more clearly seen in her eyes as well, giving them a more glossy, life-like appearance. There are some good youtube videos on shading the eye. There's one in particular that I found quite helpful. I might post it here if I can find it.

I'm sure Marucha, professional/goddess that she is, could give you some better pointers. :)
