I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw. In junior high I took my one and only art class and didn’t do all that well though I did enjoy it. Other the one drawing which was really good and which my teacher entered into an art competition that I ended up winning, I never really drew anything of note and lost interest.
Lately I have really been wanting to learn to draw and have been really interested in being more creative and maybe learn other things as well. One of the reasons I really wanted an iPad or drawing tablet or some thing. I’m scared of pencil and paper because it drives me insane seeing half erased pencil marks.
The tablet I settled on which is not a graphics tablet for my computer but just a regular one that comes with a stylus is just an entry level one and not anywhere near an iPad Pro, I found out came with an app called PENUP already installed. I realized I could install it on my Samsung Galaxy G8 phone as well. It’s a pretty neat app which has coloring and live drawing tutorials that you can follow along with right on screen and share drawings, paintings and illustrations made in several compatible apps.
Here are a few I’ve done with the live drawing tutorials, in order from my first one to the last one I’ve done so far. I think they are improving as I go. Nothing spectacular and I’ve yet to open one of the compatible apps and just drawn, but I’m really enjoying it so far!
I think they progressively get better. The first one, the dog I was a bit shakey. I think I like the fox the best even though I love cats. What do you think? Which do you think I did the best on? I haven’t strayed much (at least not purposely) from the tutorials.
Now I just have to get up the creativity to try and work on my next school assignment. Which I have been procrastinating on because I can’t figure out what to do for it. The instructions are clear and I know how to do it. I just haven’t found the right images yet or gotten a good idea of what I actually want to do for the movie poster.
I love your drawings!
Thanks Michelle! I’m really enjoying this. I added in a few more 🙂
I love art, and those are all really cute, I seriously love them all. I think you did a great job, and have a real talent <3
Thanks Tiffany! I am just learning but I am really enjoying it.
They look great! It’s really fun drawing digitally, although there is a learning curve. I have a Samsung Chromebook and I use the Autodesk Sketchbook app. I also sometimes use Photoshop
Thanks! I have Autodesk Sketchbook mobile on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and And the full Adobe Cloud of Software (need it for school) on my Dell Computer. I really love Autodesk Sketchbook. It is a bit of a learning curve and honestly I like lettering more but I still want to keep learning and playing around with drawing and illustration.
