At one time i wanted to attend art school but after hearing the many
horror stories of art school i was like "Nah i'll do youtube and skillshare to learn art."

@Hachi: Oh yeah. lots of studies.
i did my first environment study recently. it's not technically complete but starting a new one
just so i can learn more, color more, and learn more on shapes.
I'm mostly painting mountains lol. But doing them to warm up to portraits.

True! pinktober was super fun and helpful. I only did 10 days but still better than nothing.
And made some great fun art pieces.
I think i will do the santa exchange thing as it seems very fun so im reading all the rules and everything.

But i have my next study all set up so i just gotta be patient.

and one day...get the model tablet i want.
main reason to study. so i can improve, get better at my work, and hopefully...get commissions more often.

@Hachi: Hello there.

@Vixen: It can work while charging, however if the pen is charging at the same time
it makes it very hard to work. Mostly because it charges via laptop and the wires will just
get tangled with each other.

And sometimes while charging if i use it the tablet charging will pause if i draw a line
and then resume when i don't draw a line.
it's very finicky.

So usually i just let it charge, all the way through as it just will take longer to charge if i use it while charging.

@Vixen: Yeah i definitely cannot achieve what i want with 2k levels.
though my current tablet also takes 7 hours to charge, and the pen also needs charging for about 2 hours.
and that takes such a huge chunk out of my schedule for art.
And i love shortcut keys but for some reason this one...no program the shortcut keys work correctly.
one time i was working on a piece and it merged the sketch layer with the flat layer way before i was ready
so that art piece was ruined lol.

So the next model i plan to get is XP pen's deco pro. Mostly for the way it can connect to a phone.
just in case my laptop decides to kick the bucket early as my laptop is not in great shape and has many issues lol.
but thought that one would be much better for just in case. Plus...a dial...it looks so nice.

@Vixen: Mine only has 2k of pen pressure. and the max of pen pressure tablets have is about 8k.
so it's quite the difference. and very noticeable. as my current model does not blend great.
and without built-in stabilizers, i would not be able to draw with it at all because the lines are very noticeably not smooth.
CSP has a built in one, so if CSP didn't have it, i'd probably given up drawing all together.
because my art the foundation is linework.

@Vixen: Yeah, right now only digital is in my budget.
Though, I also need to replace my art tablet as it doesn't have the max level of pen pressure
and feel that kinda holds me back a little since without stabilizers, my lines will come out bad.
So I need to save up for a new tablet.

@Vixen: Yeah. I also would not have barely anything to paint. :vanora_sweat:
I have maybe...one sketch to paint lol. but it is a proud sketch i love of an OC of mine.
Tho i was planning to experiment with jelly gouache...because for one...the yellow case...
but to paint traditionally...i'd need so many supplies it would cost me $50. Almost 60 and i don't make nearly enough
to buy it all.

@xvz: Yeah no one irl really notices. :vanora_sweat:
not many people in IRL really know i make art or care that i make art.

art is just my escape from stress so im just trying to do the best i can
and practice so i can eventually connect with people.

I'm mostly focusing on landscapes to warm up to portraits.

@Vixen: Thank you.
I am a Digital Artist. Sadly i do not have the income to expand outside of digital.
I'd love to do design gouache if i could tho.
I'm not super big with watercolor or acrylics lol.
but i'd have to get better with my traditional media first. traditional art just makes me lazy lol.
So i be that digital artist.

@Wildfire: it's not real bad, just slight discomfort but it should go away soon.
That is good to hear.

@Vixen: Probably another mountain but it has more color in it.
I'm slowly trying to get familiar with painting so when i do portraits it wont feel so scary and daunting.
