I just cannot use a drawing tablet. I just can't draw a line—not even a simple line—without having to repeat it about 15 fucking times and is always wrong and no it's not the fucking pen pressure. It's discouraging to end up like this whenever I try to use the tablet. Did I just waste 100 bucks in a Wacom I can't even use?.
What's your problem? Line too wobbly?It does take some time getting adjusted to it. There's usually a brush setting in art programs called like "stabilizer" that will slow down your line and make it straighter. The alternative is to learn to draw your lines quickly and decisively.
>>8021480Have you tried adjusting your stabilizer? Anything else is just a matter of practice and repitition
>>8021480you have to suffer until your forearm muscles grow amd you have the strength to pull the stylus fastno pain no gain btw
>>8021480What is the size of the tablet? I had the same issue with the small Wacom. Bought a medium one and it was night and day of a difference.
>>8021484My hands feel uncoordinated. I'm not even good artist but at least when I draw traditionally, I can do a line without much trouble. On the other hand, when I use the tablet, a single stroke takes me several tries—even when I'm doing something as simple as a sketch, the line goes somewhere I don't want it to it's too damn frustating.>>8021497I don't think that's the problem.>>8021498this feels like something a gym bro would say lol>>8021526a small size one, my budget couldnt afford something bigger
I was pretty much like you when I started using tablets nearly a decade ago after using only traditional for a long while.Chicken scratches are inevitable, but I suggest just trying to adjust your posture to ensure your arm gets range while also being comfortable. Don't be retarded like me and try draw at a 50 degree angle off the table (then wonder why my lines are so shit and off the mark)
>>8021480i have had the exact same experience as you and it put me off of digital for years. when you draw on paper with a pencil, there are two things that are different than when you draw digitally. 1) there is a sensory difference. the texture of the paper under the pencil acts almost like training wheels when compared to drawing on the smooth surface of a tablet. 2) digital lines can be far more precise compared to the bluntness of a traditional medium. for example, it's similar to drawing with a pencil vs drawing with a really thin micron. digital gives you a significantly smaller margin for error in the same way3 things you can do is 1)tape a piece of coarse printer paper over your tablet, it will simulate drawing on paper. 2) get textured pen nibs, it will also help further simulate drawing on paper 3) format your drawing space on your monitor to be a smaller portion of the monitor, it will help with feeling out of sync with your tableti hope that helps and if you have any questions i am happy to try to help
dont grind your pen on a rough surface what the fuck this shit wears away fast enough already
>>8021608It just takes practice, it’ll get much easier the more you do it I promise, to the point that it’s basically as easy as paper
>>8021480I know how you feel the disconnect from not being able to see what my hand is doing is rough but it gets easier with time just have to keep grinding
>>8021608>a small size one, my budget couldnt afford something biggerSo it is fucked. I had for years and never got used to it. Because it is too small of a surface vs the monitor, it is just uncomfortable to make any lines with it. Aim to save money and acquire a bigger one. I went from small to medium, and suddenly digital went from hell to actually fun.Some people are so good with precision that they can handle a small one, but I would say most of us need a bigger one to properly draw.
