I started drawing around mid-2023, mostly on paper using traditional media. It’s not perfect yet (I’m still at /beg/ level), but it’s pretty solid overall, and sometimes good. I’m still teaching myself things like anatomy as I go.I recently got a graphic tablet, though I’ve only done a bit of digital drawing before (with a mouse and on my phone with a stylus). Is it too soon for me to start digital drawing while I’m still learning on paper???
For anyone interested, here's my work. As you can tell, I'm still just a beginner

>>7928096the sooner you start the better. if you wanna use digital, use digital.
>>7928410I see
>>7928096What I've learned to do as a tradfag is just draw and ink my drawings traditionally, scan them with my scanner as 600DPI TIFF's in black and white, and just drop them into Clip Studio to edit them. To get rid of the white background I just "Convert Brightness to Opacity" in the Edit menu and I suddenly have line art ready to use.Like this shit in my pic related is an inked drawing
>>7928529I've heard about this technique; I think I might try it at certain times.
>>7928529And this is what happens when I duplicate the lineart, hide the original and convert brightness to opacity(while also adding a new white layer for the BG). Now I can do whatever I want to it and treat it as digital line art. It works with pencils too if your graphite is dark enough or used a color pencil(you could also scan in greyscale but then you pick up whatever smudges you had on the paper too but you might like that effect for texture so I dunno)>>7928532Good luck
Oh and to add to this I would go and change file that Im working in(in PS or CPS or whatever) and save it as a 300DPI image. I scan it high so that later I can bring the resolution down and have my lines still be crisp
>>7928533Thanks
>>7928535For screen only art (aka digital unless you plan to print your work) 72 DPI+ is fine. You can go higher if you like but I think the majority of screens don't even render beyond 96 DPI. If you want to work at a larger canvas size that's a different matter but you don't really gain anything producing digital work at 300DPI
