tnis was a tough one! but ive wanted to cosplay utena since i was like 12 lol
AHHHHHHHHH
thank you anon! Im really glad that you like what i do (◡‿◡✿)
absolutely!
the shoes she’s wearing are actually real shoes from aldos that i wanted at the time. they were on clearance then so i dont know if they’re still being sold but thats just a little tip if you wanted to get REALLY accurate haha 🙂
if you really do end up cosplaying the design id love to see pictures!
well i use Sai and Photoshop and i know that sometimes those can have issues with the pen pressure not working at first but they can usually be solved easily by goggling the issue!
also! because this happened to me recently and i couldn’t figure it out for like 3 days hurhur, in Sai there is a bar for the “min size” of brush you are using. if that is set to 100% then pen pressure wont work because its always drawing the line as large as possible. i dont know how that got set to 100% but it took me an embarrassingly long time notice that was what was wrong OTL
hello! i use a bamboo too! tablets are really great for digital art. they allow you to use all of the great features that you have access too in digital art programs while still having pen pressure.
make sure that your tablet is properly calibrated to your computer and the program(ex. Photoshop, etc.) you’re using (this means having the proper drivers, all of your pen settings as you need them, and your program’s settings able to recognize things such as pen pressure, etc.)
if all the technological aspects of your tablet are as they should be then all i can say is practice! i know when i first started using a tablet it was a bit hard for me to get used to. what I did is that I would draw the sketch first in pencil and then scan it and line it digitally. eventually i got comfortable enough with my tablet that i could sketch digitally as well and i could cut out the pencil sketch phase. if sketching digitally is too hard for you at first then you might want to try this too 🙂
also! unlike with traditional medium, you cant really turn your tablet as you draw without things getting funky. many programs allow you to turn or rotate the canvas that you are working with though, so that can be easily used to get around this issue.
haha this got a bit long..
tl,dr: make sure that all your software is running as needed and then just practice! if its taking some getting used to at first try use a combination of traditional and digital drawing to get used to it! there may be some awkwardness with having to keep your tablet straight but most programs give you ways to work around this.
so have fun with your tablet and have fun!!! and good luck 🙂
