I have a Wacom tablet but I can't draw for shit.I can't look at the screen and draw at the same time.Should I just pick a tablet with a screen, even if it's more expensive?
I used a screenless tablet for years and it's really hard on the shoulder. It's also hard to really do natural, fluid linework. I switched to a Wacom One a few years back and it's definitely an improvement, and they're not too super duper expensive. I can also use it as a second monitor, which comes in handy sometimes.
>>455873keep tryingtouchscreen drawing is cool tho
>>455875How much time I'm supposed to try until it doesn't bother me?It sucks to draw like this.
>>455873>I can't look at the screen and draw at the same time.Just give up and use a mouse. A friend of mine is a pro illustrator and only uses a mouse. I use a wacom tablet like picrel but I started using tablet and stylus before touchscreens were a thing. Most serious artists these day use touchscreens, so if you can afford it, do that. Hardly anyone uses picrel anymore.
>>455904topkek>hardly anyone uses screenless>use your mousebunch of bs!just get used to it. do you really think there is more to it than that???
>>455887i dont digitally draw or need to draw enough for me to get a wacom type thing like yours so i use my mouse - that takes getting used to, too! ive gotten pretty good but would prefer your waycom to take advantage of my hand skills for drawing. just keep getting used to it.
>>455907>>455905I could also draw with a nail pierced through my dick and with enough years get used to it, but I would like to not hate the process.
>>455909if drawing with a screenless tablet feels like that to you then you should consider dropping the habit alltogether and do something simpler. like cleaning toilets or washing dishes.the list of easier tasks isn't that long desu, so I wish you best of luck!
>>455910I hate the desu feature so muchTO BE HONEST is the term!!...!!!...
>>455909pretty stupid commentfuck off i guess
>>455873Use ai
>>455873>Should I just pick a tablet with a screen, even if it's more expensive?Drawing monitors exist. I got a cheap Wacom years and years ago, used, because I have the same problem.Been drawing on a paper for decades, can't do without watching.
>>455873Unless you need to use Photoshop, get an ipad. Good drawing apps and the apple pencil is great. It's seriously a superior drawing experience.I've used various wacoms professionally for man years. It's really a tool for work.
>>455873Pick display tablet, drawing tablet is a meme unless you get the bigger one with a bigger desk, but even then you'll have trouble in drawing curves or perspective. Wacom, huion, and xp pen all have cheap display tablet for under $400, I havent tried brand like veikk or other newcomer yet but I think they're more cheaper than the big three.If you can afford more, get samsung tablet or ipad. Samsung is cheaper than ipad but you need to get csp for that, try to get s8 at least, considering s7 is quite lagging on csp. Ipad is cool, it has procreate, but it expensive as fuck.
Idk if you could ever draw like this, but I do know that art must be physical. There is no such thing as digital art.
>>457005I'd second this. I have a ipad mini and use the apple pencil with it. Really easy to work with. Procreate can export .psd format and is very similar to photoshop drawing tools. You can do everything you would do in photoshop. Also try Affinity Designer. It has a pixel mode that similarly works like photoshop. The mini is lightweight and doesn't hurt my back as much as the ipad pro. The size is perfect. I wouldn't even wait on a newer chip unless you think they'll change the form factor to something even lighter.
>>455873Play games with it, specifically city builders, helps you get used to manipulating the cursor and get used to not looking at it the same way you don't look at your mouse pad or track pad.Getting an expensive tablet will not bless you with artistic talent, getting used to your tools and practice will.
>>457005I love drawing on my ipad pro but the battery dies so quickly whenever I use procreate. It’s also over 6 years old, so that may be the reason, but I feel like the battery always died quickly
>>457241dont be silly
Practice helps, honestly
>>455874Who are all these cretins? Shoulder problem is clearly an issue with your ergonomy you dipshit.If you can't use a pen I don't think you have much choices left in terms of your future career prospects and hobbies. I'd say maybe finger painting is more suitable for you or crayons.
