Title: Once upon a time, I put pencil to paper.
Post by: Unless on September 10, 2015 02:05 PM
I don't really do that any more, however I do still own a functional drawing tablet and every now and then convince myself that I'm going to teach myself how to draw and won't give up until I'm done. Shortly afterwards, I give up. This is seemingly one of those times, and I thought that maybe having this here as a reminder for me might provide enough pressure to kick my gears into ass, or something of that ilk.

Look, it's a Banette:

I also drew Marauder Shields as a Pony for some reason:

"OMG, that was you? I've seen this before, that's kind of neat."

For anybody interested in getting a drawing tablet, I'd recommend not getting a Bamboo. A friend advised against getting their tablets before I ignored her and got one anyway, and boy did I regret being such a foolish fool. Mine has had numerous problems over its lifetime and they were very slow in repairing it and sending it back to me, during which time I lost my flair, I guess. I suppose.

This was over three years ago.

Just reading your walls of text is an art form in itself. You've got something going there, I can't wait to see more.

all you really have to do is draw every day, even if it's something small like this. take small steps and it won't seem so intimidating

^^^^^^^

I have a memo-pad that I use to doodle something everyday with. Sometimes I use post-it notes. It helps take off the stress off filling an entire page!
