This was right after I bought my first tablet. I've got some older stuff, but that was before my first tablet and is not worth posting.
Currently I'm working on a game project called Project Viewpoint. (We're looking for more people so look at the webpage if you're interested in joining).

wow bro... you did this straight after you got your graphic tablet??! In fact I wanted to post a question to all the community but most of all to Xia (& you!).
ReplyDeleteWere you satsfied with your digital drawings right after you got the graphic tablet?
I have mine for about 3 months and still I'm not 100% happy with the resluts. My paper drawings are very good and satisfying. Will I get better??! Any recommnedations or tips on how to get better except Practice??
Thanks and well done pokepetter, big post but cool stuff in it ;)
Peace!
Reagarding to the Game project... I'm very intersted in it (drawing fighters is my speciality!) but unfortunately I'm from Europe! Distance is the problem!
ReplyDelete"wow bro... you did this straight after you got your graphic tablet?"
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I already had experience with the digital medium (I painted with mouse and knew photoshop very well x|)
"Were you satisfied with your digital drawings right after you got the graphic tablet?"
Of course not. If I'm satisfied, I'd never get better. On the other side, my traditional drawing were worse.
To get better with digital, you'll have to explore different approaches to a painting. The keyword is STUDY. Practice is done alongside with the studying. Look at other artists and figure out how they did it. First when I saw Daniel Dociu's work, I had no idea how he did that. Now however, I can see through his cheap tricks hehe.
Specific tips: draw with 100% opacity except when blending, paint shapes, use all the tools you can and "cheat" your way to a better picture.
I think you're very good at handling the digital medium btw.
"Regarding to the Game project... I'm very interested in it (drawing fighters is my specialty!) but unfortunately I'm from Europe! Distance is the problem!"
I'm from Europe too (Norway) and I have no problems with the distance. I can always send e-mails, and chat on MSN later on the day.
If you join, you'll hate it and love at the same time^^
Well brother... thanks for the kind help! =_=
ReplyDeleteHow can you notice Daniel Dociu's working tricks??... because I'm still in that phase where I have no idea how to approach to his kind of artwork - in fact my favorite one is his "Dragon Alley" and I already talked with him about it (kind of long story!)
Brother I think you also have so MUCH to offer to us artists (me...I'm 19!). If you can someday post some "tricks" or "techniques" that many good artist (even you) use; it will be of great help to us!
Keep em rollin' bro! I'll e-mail you soon!
Wow! nice works...i like the fast sketches more
ReplyDeleteNice work indeed. Like most, I'm also
ReplyDeleteinterested in the project, but as you
have noticed by now, I can't access the internet when ever I like.
Next to that I think I'm doing better
as a DiveMaster rather than a concept
artist. ;)
