So after looking through my old projects, I realized that I've improved in art a LOT. tongue Here's some of my old art:

And here's some of my new art:

(newest)

(2nd oldest example)

(Bluh, oldest *decent* art, pretty bad though)

Though I still have a long way to go before I get GOOD good in art, I'm still glad I've improved at ALL. There's some good artists on Scratch too, so if you want post some of your old/new art here.

(Also I wasn't sure if this was better for the making/creating or reading/playing forums)

Lol, I just drew more over the last few years - there was a critical moment for me when my art went from bad to more understanding about sketching/shading/all that. Try to find something that inspires you. smile

I draw all of my digital art now on a free program called GIMP, with a Genius MousePen 8x6 tablet.

GIMP is free, but unfortunately the Genius MousePen 8x6 is not...obviously lol. Here's the link on Amazon if you want to buy it: http://www.amazon.com/Genius-MousePen-6 … B000LEI95I It's a good starting tablet - while many artists use Wacoms, Wacoms are very expensive. Maybe I'll get one in the future though...

Good luck with your art:

I'm the opposite.

My pencil drawings turn out pretty cruddy, but digital art is easier for me lol.

Yeah, but some Wacoms are or are not cheap, depending on the model and the features it has.
(Now that I think about it, this should belong in Show and Tell)

Aww, that's really good! The only thing is that it looks a little distorted. I like the lines smile

Distorted? hmm

Edit: Also, I just got a GREAT idea. We could form an art collab (in which I draw the outline and you draw the background and do colors). :3

I'm not very good at art.

The best art I can do is simple pencil doodles, and digital pixel art.

It's cute, but it's as if it was a piece of paper that was photographed from an angle. It's skewed somewhat. Maybe it's my monitor.

Also, the art collab sounds cool! But do you mean shading AND colors or just colors? Also I'm terrible at backgrounds e_e But I COULD do colors. I'm not sure - I like doing outlines too, so... But I like your idea.

To answer your questions:
1: Adobe Illustrator's pen tool does that, it's pretty weird.
2: Shading and colors, I guess.
3: Oh well, maybe we can find someone else.

banana500 · 2012-11-07 19:38:15

Also, guys, just to put something out there--I'm absolutely terrible at computer/digital art. No seriously. I can't even use MS Paint right. tongue My specialty is hand-drawn stuffs.
