@murielle Oh wow that was so interesting and learnsome! (Apart from learning your dutch as well! :p) Thank you so much for your awesome tutorial.

@murielle Oh thanks! I will take a look at it right away

Oh this is so great and handy! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

@ThisKateCreates Hi Kate.

In what way does the Cintiq act up?

I'm sorry to hear about your injury I hope they're not lifelong lasting!
It's good to hear that technology these days are so advanced that there's something working for almost each and everyone.

Didn't you find that android tablet too small or aren't you a "big" worker?

Yeah I also always carry my pencase and sketchbook with me no matter where I go! I even have one laying on my bedside tabel for when I have an idea while my brain should actually be going into sleep-modus. It usually thinks otherwise

@josegalue25 This looks great! How do you go about coloring it in? Do you first need to deattach every little detail from the whole picture? Or do you color while really closed up?

I am working on a submarine scene for my little boy and was actually thinking last week that I would color it in using photoshop, just like you have done this.

@murielle Hi Murielle! Thank you for taking the time to give me your experiences! (and I am a fan of your cute art as well :P). I have been drawing a bit now with this borrowed Huion and getting a bit more confident with it but it's too small for me so that's a good thing to discover!

Wasn't it hard to draw to close up and slow? Did you still have an overview of what you were doing or did you take a scanned in picture which you drew over?

When you're talking about cleaning up your lines, do you after you scan it and put it into photoshop first cut the image out?

I will definitely look into the SVS digital painting class after I have finished this perspective class I'm doing via Udemy.
Thank you for your recommendation!

@chrisaakins Haha I recognize myself in your story! Only not having any assignments now but just like you, I was all fired up during inktober. Did you also feel like you fell into a deep well when october was over?

On the first of november, I was like hmmm... and now what? tumtidum....

But I'm most creative at night and when I should be sleeping. Then when morning comes, the whole morning and day hustle of work or kids and home gets in the way and then at night when that's all tucked into bed, my mind goes into my own little peaceful world, where it actually can get moments of exploring for more than two minutes before being interrupted.

Seeing peoples work on instagram is also inspiring although sometimes it's overwhelming because then I want to taste all the cookies in the bakery, making me overload and then crash. So I have decided to limit my "screen" time and when I'm in a bit of a creative-low, go explore other peoples work and get inspired again.

@hannahmccaffery Yeah I almost fell off my chair when I saw how much the Cintiq cost! Was thinking of how to rob a bank but I am too honest to go down that path. I'd probably bake the bank a cake and bring that back together with all the money the following day.
Yeah a Cintiq is something I would buy if I would ever get good enough to actually sell some of my stuff (when I even dare to put it in some kind of store...).

@ThisKateCreates I hear you about working big. This Huion I borrowed from my father often lets me tip the edge... Then I am so concentrated on what I am drawing that I dont realize I've gotten to the edge and my pen takes a plunge.

Can you use photoshop on a Samsung Galaxy Tab? Isn't photoshop too heavy for it? It studders as crazy on my pc so I can't imagine how it must be if the hardware isn't sufficient at all for it.

But you are saying you don't like the Intuos didn't do it for you either? Why is that if I may ask?

@Braden-Hallett This is some real good advice Braden. Using Jake Parkers line practice. Thanks! I have been practicing it using a course I am following and I must say that the position of the pen doesn't bother me half as much as at the beginning so I guess practice makes better? :p
