I like to draw digitally and would like to follow along in procreate. For this specific course and classes in general can I stick to drawing on my iPad Pro?

Hi,
Im 16 and I recently opened an etsy store for pet portraits and it turns out my first client was my dad. I know not all artists have parental support but it feels a lot like having your mom go to the school dance with you. Not to mention that the listings were for pet portraits and he just wanted me to draw random Instagram photos to hang up. It feels odd but should it. Money is money but I want my first experience to be one of integrity. I probably sound spoiled but I really need an opinion from other artists. I hope I don’t sound like a douche.

Thanks,
Ari

Teacher told me to draw him. It was his recommendation to me.

Hi,
I recently started mentoring with my favorite artists Dominic Glover. I recently found that my biggest issues is that I don’t look before I leap. I want to draw things that are way above my technical skills and as a result I feel bad about my art. At the same time, I do sometimes challenge myself and am proud of my results. Recently I have been trying to improve my poses and I have been happy with the results. I also have been trying to do more female portraits in which my harshly critical sister said I made an improvement. Lately, I believe I have been pretty dedicated to the drills and lessons he has assigned. I am willing to work hard and I enjoy the thrill of learning. While I mostly draw animals and pets, I have been really interested in drawing comic art. I had this idea to draw Luke Skywalker and Ahsokah teaming up to fight stormtroopers. I went ahead of myself and Dominic told me that I need to ground myself in the present. I want to draw things and do things that I could only do in years ahead, but I am unable to accept that I cant do it yet. My dad often complains that I draw the same thing all the time, but when I branch out, I often get ahead of myself and it isn’t fun. Tons of artists stick to their niche and so maybe I don't have anything to worry about. Dominic glover likes drawing comic characters, Ergojosh draws sexy ladies, Prophet art draws Star Wars characters, and Aaron blaze draws animals. I always thought that being an artist meant never being satisfied, but maybe I should be satisfied. I need to be grateful for my current skills and enjoy my hobby. When I look back at art form last year I think, “yuck that is awful, I can’t believe I thought it was awesome!” But to normal people like my dad, they don’t see the subtle improvements that gradually occur over time. I need to get this feeling of impatience out of my head as it is what is holding me back from improving faster. If anyone has similar issues, what do you do, and how can I help myself.

I linked my instagram because maybe it wil be useful.

@Pamela-Fraley we both have similar styles. Another reason is because i didnt really know who to do. Im trying to exposes myself to other artists now so I didn’t have to worry about who to draw.

@Coreyartus

I don’t know how to do It on an iPad. I have affinity photo

@Coreyartus it worked. Can you do the same thing for all the other downloads.

@Coreyartus its a really large file omg.

Hi everyone,
I am currently in the middle of lighting and shadow for illustrators and am on assignment 2. He added a PSD for me to import into a drawing app in my case procreate. It usually works but I think the file may have been incomplete or corrupt. Every time I import it it says the color mode is not supported. Any suggestions. I added the png version but its very pixelated and low res.

Any suggestions as to how to find it.

Hi everyone,
I’m plowing through the curriculum and currently am on visualization of perspective. Will refers to 3 point but we haven’t learned it yet. Will it be taught.

Hi everyone,

Im planning on buying a new mac with the M1 processors when the 16 inch comes out. I want to use it for animation and Maya as I love apple and don’t want to leave the ecosystem. I currently have an iPad pro 12.9 and love the experience. I want to use that as my tablet but I also have an intous medium. I know that there is apple sidecar and astropad. When sidecar first came out, it had bad criticism. But I want to know if the feature is good now after some time. Is astropad the better option or should I just use sidecar.

Hi Everyone,
I know im a 16 year old with a long time to grow but I really want to improve my following. I have such interesting ideas but for some reason I cant get them launched. I watch YouTube tips but they don’t guide you as I go along. I currently have an instagram but also want to launch my TikTok. If anyone knows of reliable social media mentors who can guide me through the process I would love that. I don't want any courses as those aren’t different from YouTube videos. And I want someone who can help artists. I hope to go to 1,000 by the end of the year. I am not doing this for fame, but to get my ideas out their and to connect with other creators. I hope someone can help.

Thanks,
Sincerely,
Ari
