I just got one of these, what now?
>>153503003Draw decent porn and make more money than 90% of webcomic authors.Also >>>/ic/
>>153503167>from 30k to 90k a yearWhy such a big gap?
>>153503003>wacomOof.Also, draw. Duh.
>>153503753What do you mean oof?
>>153503759I've never had anything but trouble with wacoms.
>>153503521The total is calculated using the total number of paying users×lowest and highest paid tier. So at MINIMUM he is making 30K a month from gay art.
>>153503003now you download a drawing program, there's plenty of free ones, after you've downloaded the program you can bind those 4 buttons on the tablet and the 2 on the pen to whatever you like, this is to make your drawing process faster and more comfortable to you (this is entirely optional, you don't have to do it if you don't want to). Or you can just open ms paint and start drawing whatever you want
>>153503780Wacom cintiqs are how I've make my living by drawing for the past 15 years. But they do be expensive. They're for studios/employers to buy, not artists themselves.
>>153503928The most expensive one is like $3500 and they're good for like 5 years, thats not too bad for an individual purchase I think.
>>153503876here's an example of what I mean for OP, these are just the ones I use, you can put in literally any key bindings you want here to fit how you draw
>>153503928I used cintiqs in college, I think they're overrated
Not OP, but I've been pondering if I should switch to non-display tablet. I've had a Wacom ONE for years (dumb purchase, I know) and drawing on a small display screen is kind of difficult for me still.Should I switch to non-display? I feel like it'd be really good since I could just look at my monitor's big screen.
>>153503003Get clip studio paintIgnore the last thing this guy said: >>153503167/ic/ is fucking garbage
>>153503003now you draw for us
>>153503003Samsung tablets are better desui had 2 wacom. if you can return it and get a samsung tablet then i suggest you do that.
>>153504315I'd say go for it if you're willing to get over the initial hurdle of not looking directly at your drawing surface. Non-display tablets being cheaper also means you can go for a larger surface area. There's also the added benefit of them being easier to manage for your posture. Since you're looking at your monitor instead of the tablet you won't be as hunched over as you would with a display tablet.
>>153503003Throw it away and get an xp penkk have fun, learn the rules before you break them
>>153503167$28K-87K is kind of a huge gap in pay rate. So the guy is either starving or comfortable middle class?
>>153503003Drawdiuqs
>>153504039neat
>>153504669How the fuck are you starving if you make 28 THOUSAND DOLLARS a MONTH?
>>153504871maybe they're new yorkian
>>153504937goddamn even a ludicrous 10k shit box apartment with 28k every month you'd still be able to own a house in like a year
>>153503167porn is boring and unfulfilling
>>153503003Practice until you get good at drawing without looking at your hand. I gave up and went back to paper before I got to that part
>>153504871
>>153503928what do you draw
I hate to say this but drawing porn isn't a get rich quick scheme, you have to build a reputation before people want to fill your queue. Sadly, it's isn't always about skill or aesthetics. It's mainly "this artist is famous/infamous I HAVE to get a commission from them"
>>153505130Just draw flavor of the month slop with half decent art to post on twitter and you'll get like $100 bucks with an uncensored dollar tier.
>>153503003Draw bitch
>>153503003
>>153503003It helps to practice the basics so you can learn to get used to your new drawing tablet
>>153504039Just use a keyboard6 buttons is not enough
>>153505573this doesn't even happen, drawing is super easy to learn if you just start practicing specific things every couple of days>>153505782you use both at the same time dummy
>>153503003I dunno, draw dicks
>>153504355yeah pirate it cus its not worth buying it imo, my CSP has been pirated for 2 years already
>>153504355>clip studio paintwtf just use krita
>>153506041>Wasting time moving your hand between them Just use the keyboard, there's enough buttons there
>>153506557dude... you have 2 hands
>>153503003bridgman
>>153506041show your work tough guy
>>153503928draw super good on your cintiq
>>153507582Finally someone said this.
>>153505573I started drawing by just not giving a shit and drawing mspaint crap by imagination and it's so fun and freeing. Before i always tried drawing as realistic as possible and just copied references and it's just soul-draining because you're not actually creating and you'll be worse than the original for years and years. Doing your own stuff you only have to compare yourself with past you.
>>153505112That's just an American thing.
>>153503003lick it
I can't for the life of me understand how people can draw without looking directly at what they are making or at their hands as they move. Drawfags, please explain. And share tips if you have any.
>>153510516I guess it must be like when you write things with a keyboard without looking at the keys, or the buttons on a controller when you play.
>>153510558I can understand the controller because my fingers are touching most of the buttons at all times. Writing on a keyboard withouth looking at it is extremely hard. But when you draw it isn't even something fixed that you can memorize over time. The drawing is constantly changing and precision plays a big part in making an appealing drawing.
>>153503167I bought the same tablet as OP about a year ago and tried this but I only managed to get a tiny audience and only have one guy who regularly comms me. where am I supposed to post and network? I've been thinking making accounts on tumblr and newgrounds
>>153505112how can you be this retarded
>>153510741Maybe they just git gud, like learning to multishine or doing a precise fox up b.
>>153510516Like using a controller while looking at the TV?You do very small strokes with it though. You spin the canvas on the art software so your arm and hand don't have to change much the types of movements that they do. If you look at time-lapse digital painters, they do several small strokes rather than one big continuous line. Look at the first few moments of this, it's very short strokes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c45qag1h81k(Also, in general, if you can't draw well with pencil & paper then you won't draw well with your graphics tablet.)
>>153510741You know how to operate a mouse by hand but the cursor doesn’t work at all like your fingers and the cursor moves differently relative to the screen than the mouse moves across the mousepad, it’s the same thing in stylus form with pressure sensitivity. There’s just a learning curve to get used to it.
>>153510860Twitter. The reach and userbase size is just a whole other league. If you are posting problematic porn, you can crop and link to pixiv or whatever. If you want to avoid content blacklisting (i.e. you are tagged as mature so only people who have "show sensitive posts" enabled can see you, you could crop everything and post it all off-site on patreon or fanbox or whatever.
Now draw jailbait and farm the gooners
>>153503167>money money moneyIgnore this faggot, just draw for fun Drawing only for money will kill your passion and make you pissed and envious
>>153506041>this doesn't even happen, drawing is super easy to learn if you just start practicing specific things every couple of daysDon't be a retardIt HAS happened and continues to happen
>>153512660tell that to all the broke artists on twitter crying they can't afford shit
get over the awkward phase of drawing looking at your screen instead of the surface you are drawing on
>>153512871>Guy who just bought his tablet.>Veteran artists trying to make money.Those people are at distinct moments in their careers, it's not good to compare the two. Right now the guy just needs to have fun using his tablet, trying things outside his comfort zone.PS software-wise, everything you'll need can be done with Krita and Photopea[.].com, both free products.
>>153512697fags like cwc don't practice, retard. If you JUST practice you JUST become able to draw. If you always finish whatever you shit out and say "done!" then you're not practicing.
>>153512871Builder cat
>>153514602Is a cat yes
>>153503780Personally my first wacom intuos lasted me 20 years, only reason I hot a new one was driver trouble, and looks like the second one's just as solid
>>153510516Art program displays a cursor following the pen even when it's not in contact. You get used to it after a short while
>>153516050Do you have a video of it in action?
>>153516802it looks literally the same as you moving your mouse. There's a magnet in the tip of the pen so the screen shows you where it's at while it's close to the tablet.
>>153516820Do all programs do that? Or does the tablet come with a specialized program of it's own?
>>153516835It's the basic way tablets work with any computer, it's built right into windows, linux, mac. It functions on the same layer that mice, keyboards, and touchscreens do: basic input that's interpreted by the OS itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_tabletunironically just reading through the wikipedia page should get you more or less up to speed. I don't mean to sound pedantic btw, this is just an instance where you happen to not know something that is relatively basic with regards to computers (which I wouldn't expect most /co/anons to really know off the top of their heada anyway)
Consider 3D sculpting
>>153516901No offense taken. I am not tech savvy. Thanks for answering my questions.
>>153503003Download Krita. It's free and pretty solid software that is already compatible with any drawing tablet out of the proverbial box.
to anons that started and work for years/ a decade on a non screen drawing tablet. will switching to a display tablet kill my skill to draw without looking at the surface I'm drawing?
>>153503003>Been drawing with a mouse since I was in middle school>finally get a drawing tablet in my twenties>find it weirdly imprecise Also these are a fun novelties, it's Kidpix and Deluxe Paint (Amiga) that work inside browershttps://kidpix.app/https://www.stef.be/dpaint/
>>153510516It kind of comes naturally after a while? I can draw with a mouse/type with a keyboard without directly looking. IDK, been using computers since I was a toddler
You are gonna connect it ur computer and then go back to bed with your phone to jack off to simpsons porn
>>153513251no one does this
>>153505130For me it's just that there are a lot of characters I like for whom there is almost nothing, and I also despise slop, so my goal is to create the stuff I wish existed.
>>153507596Shame he took down the videos, I think of them automatically whenever I see the word cintiq
>>153510516Same as drawing with a mouse I imagine, it's just something you have to train so you gain the muscle memory for it.
>>153512871Bro no one can afford shit in general nowadays. Unless you got a REALLY good job.
>>153507582>>153507596>>153518053Awwwww man is the video lost media now?>and presto it is a girl witha penis
>>153503167>gay, like hard gayOK, gotcha, he's tapping that fujo femcel money. Well, better him than Disney corp.
>>153518109Yeah he privated them after all the bullshit with man of Shäd getting arrested. Unfortunate because it was one of my favorite stimmies
>>153503003whats better, one of this, or one with a screen?
>>153504871My crushing addiction to avocado toast and rotisserie chicken is the reason I could never afford a home.
>>153512660>>153512871>Drawing only for money will kill your passion and make you pissed and enviousbut it's the only way to survive unfortunately.>they can't afford shitsurvival sucks anyways
>>153518430If you want my honest opinion then get a large ipad.
>>153512697Improvement needs criticism, and the capacity to metabolize that criticism into improvement.
>>153518430I guess it depends. From what I heard those types of doodads take a bit of getting used to but can end up promoting better posture since you're not hunched down looking at a screen while drawing.
>>153518532destructive criticism is still criticism
>>153504355> /ic/ is fucking garbageSorry you’re too much of a pussy to handle honest criticism.
>>153517791Not at all. Transitioning between takes less than a week of acclimatization.
>>153518142>heI think umikochan is a woman as most of the more successful gay/yaoi artists are.
>>153517860You can't just call out Brazilian comic artists like that.
Draw for fun.Learning fundamentals comes second. Since they are nicknamed "fundies" (where the fun dies), it is important to balance it with drawing stuff you actually like. Because if you draw and it isn't fun, what would be the point of it? Take the fun dopamine pill.Balance fundamentals with stuff you actually like to draw.
>>153503003draw feet
>>153503003now youre a hecking wholesome artisterino fighting back against the chud AI conlogmerates!
>>153512660must be funny
>>153503003Waste 15 years trying to get a portfolio off the ground just to be mauled to death by life, haha.
>>153503003D R A W
you won't do shit
>>153520956>Chatgtp generate a non-embarrassing reply
>>153503003Learn to draw and, more importantly, learn to have fun while drawing. The latter is easier if you work traditionally, but it's not impossible if you develop early on the discipline to avoid abusing the "undo" key.Also, ignore "DO THIS ONE THING AND YOULL GET GOOD IN 14 SECONDS" youtube tutorials.
>>153522911Rudy you gotta draw something!
>>153518430>>153518541In my experience, iPads or drawing monitors aren't really worth the investment (I own a Cintiq but I just use an old Intuos most of the time when I work digitally).Monitors are still far removed from how it feels (and handles) to use real pencils and brushes on real paper or canvas, and even the newer models get hot and even a little noisy if you're sensitive to that. I feel that the loss in precision between on-screen input and tablet-based input is just a minor inconvenience in comparison and it can be worked around if you shop around for the right software for you.In short, if you want trad-level feel and precision, go trad. If you want the convenience of digital tools, a tablet works more than acceptably.
You use it to draw but eventually end up realizing it's best to use it for coloring your traditional drawings and inks.
>>153522994I do this and get a good circle then hit crl+z and draw another circle anyway on accident
