Description

Pretty much what the title says... finally got myself a Cintiq 13HD Drawing Tablet (thank you for the recommendation Astral-Chan !) and this is the first thing I did with it. Call it my Rite of Passage into a portfolio which will hopefully see more digital stuff included. Far from perfect - heck, I don't even know if I can call this complete if I'm being honest - but it was my first time experimenting with an On-screen tablet. All I can say in my defence for some notable flaws (as my friend whitecrestwaves told me on Twitter, the neck is too long) is that I was working with an old sketch as a 'base' (2016 in fact).


Don't judge me too harshly, I'm still in a lousy situation in regards to art production.


I dunno, considering that this is only my 3rd purely digital piece (even though there's a 3 year gap between this and the 2nd one)... there may just be hope for me yet. Maybe...

Thank you. Still feeling overwhelmed at how well praised the hair for this piece has been.


This one was done with Photoshop, albeit an older version (can't afford their subscriptions these days). Although I've been hearing good things about Clip Studio Paint so ATM i'm doing a 30 day free trial with it. Haven't done anything note-worthy yet - mostly because I can't save anything in the trial version - but may share a couple of screen caps of my experiments in the not too distant future.

Oh it's a shame you can't save them  
I always wanted to learn photoshop, but so expensive... 
At the moment I try my best in firealpaca, and it's for free

Indeed I do (have a Cintiq).

Wow, I didn't think my style for hair was anywhere near achieving 'famous' status. Thank you.

I haven't had much chances to use it since buying it - my work environment situation is still c**p - but I do have the week off work atm so hopefully the fun can really begin.

Pretty good work with her hair, shading and expression, really! ^.^ 
The anatomy as you mentioned, is kinda confusing tho, it's: her head and neck are too big or her torso is too small. But no worries, next time with practice you'll make it better ; )

PS. Please say hi to Wavy for me ^^ She's missed here..

Thank you <3 Once again your constructive feedback is highly valued. Makes me give these pieces a closer look and hopefully set some improvement goals for the next one(s)


The hair's good? YAY! Good to know that at least one of my strengths in traditional mediums has been transferring well to digital. Even though they're years apart, I didn't think I'd make this kind of progress on what is essentially only my 3rd purely digital piece;



To be fair, if the anatomy had been perfect, nobody would believe this was one of mine In all seriousness, I do see your point. Personally I'd say out of the two it's the body where I went wrong (neck included). Like I said in the description, all I can say in my defence is that the base sketch was drawn back in 2016 and I was so much poorer at proportions back then.


Next time I speak to Wavy, I'll be sure to say hi on your behalf
