    @Ex4ltation 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Your videos are really awesome and helpful, especially since i am just starting out (4 months in). Thus it is really appreciated. And even though i don't want to use digital until i am at least somewhat proficient at traditional art (probably will take around 5-8 years) i find tutorials like these incredibly helpful as well. This really taught me a lot about how you see, and use different values to your advantage. Now, knowing all this, the practice part is of course still the more important one.
    However making this step of discovering how you actually practice proficiently - e.g. learning how to learn and study correctly - is extremely important.
    So, thanks once again, and have a nice day :)

      I'm by no means an expert, but I've had the opposite experience. Drawing digitally allows me to make more mistakes, without 'penalties'.. I can just Undo, or load a previous version.. Of course, and I don't mean to brag in any way, having a cintiq or similar (ipad pro) is almost a must. Best of luck to you!

  • @LOGOASSASSIN
    @LOGOASSASSIN 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks for this it's really helpful. Two questions... I've been pondering the pros and cons of either working like this with a basic sketch to fill in shapes or focus a lot on the line work and include that in the final result, eg Boris Vallejo and many others where you see lots of dark line work. As a beginner I need fewer variables so maybe the first option you demonstrate is the better one for me right now. My other question is the pros and cons of layers. Mask and layers make it more controllable but also more complex. One layer is close to traditional paint but is less forgiving.

    I love this video! I just got an iPad and procreate and I wanted to start digitally painting but every tutorial Ive seen for procreate already heavily assumes I know how to draw and understand values. At this point I'm very aware of how to use procreate as far as I would be able to say I know how to use a pencil just lack the skills to make use of it. This video was so good because it explained the fundamentals behind actually drawing digitally. I was wondering if you know a good online class or youtube video series I can take to build up my basics in drawing and painting so I can use procreate to make cool things.
