There is a lot of great artists in toribash
And I want to be like them
Or at least try
I am good in knowing what I am going to draw and imaging
And I am an excellent hand drawer (I should get a tablet to draw)
So what do u guys use to draw these great art/textures?
Only brush? Or different tools?
Note I have paint.net ,gimp ,Photoshop and I maybe sai

Hard brush and dropper all day every day.

So u only use brushes and dropper
I thought u all used smudge /stamp dentist
:O
This changed the way I see
Thanks immortal
If its like that then
Gimp would be great
And I have this app that is called auto desk sketchbook on android and windows
It has a lot of brushes and I think it is the best in brushes total 72 brushes+ u can download from internet and make your own
Tell me what u think about it
Should I buy a stylus for my tab and draw?

Buy a proper pc tablet.

I use the default brush, eraser and color picker tools.
And sometimes pen tool for cartoony textures.

Depends on what program you plan to use.
Different programs work differently and have specific uses, tools come afterwards.

I have an old post in Rapid Threads, its related to introducing beginners to art and its huge, let me find it first.

Hi, if you really want to get into art, either as a hobby or as a strong life choice then I can help you with ways you can learn. Mind you, keep on reading only if you want to be flooded with knowledge, make sure you are ready. If you want to keep things casual, then carry on and ignore this post, because i'm taking things to another level.

Disregard "coloring", and using only one color. There's more than just 'color', and getting into detail is very complicated, for there is a ton of different styles in which you can do art, color isn't of matter unless you want it to be. Anyways, enough with what you want, and now lets get onto what you need.

First of all, art is something that is personal, and you should only do it if you feel comfortable with doing it, don't do it if you are pressured to do it (Unless it IS your paying job). The actual color doesn't matter, and if you think your art looks sufficient, then its sufficient. Second of all the best way to learn is PRACTICE. There are indeed techniques and styles that you should learn beforehand so that the quality of your art increases, though there's a limit to how much learning you can do, and then its all practice and your own personal style. (Protip : ALWAYS be open to some criticism, when people point out your flaws, then you understand them more and get to overcome them more easily and at a quicker rate, although thats my opinion on it, people might have different thoughts.)

If you want to do art on photoshop, then mind you that its digital art, and theres more than one way to do that, some free some expensive. Not to mention photoshop is only one of the many programs that are available for digital art, and depending on what you want to do, some would work better.

If its editing, distorting already existing pictures or your own, then stick with photoshop. Though there are some substitutes that can work, such as Gimp or Paint.Net.

Here are a list of a few free ones if you want to try another kind of program.

If its actual art, be it from cartooning to realism, then prepare to become bloated with info. First of all, you should have a tablet to do your work on, its basically a pen/paper input for your computer, so you can do digital work more accurately and skillfully. Companies like Bamboo have ones that should work very well, though some of the better ones get real pricey.
When it comes to programs, photoshop isn't the only one, and it isn't the best when it comes to graphically painting, sketching, and doing things free hand on the computer, though you can get the same results, its more comfortable to find the one that you find the easiest to use.

A few possible ones for example (Mind you, there are a lot and you should find the one most suited for you) :

- http://www.inkscape.org/en/
- http://www.serif.com/free-graphic-design-software/
- http://mypaint.intilinux.com/
- http://www.artweaver.de/en
- http://www.artrage.com/demos/
- http://www.rendera.net/

Also be sure to read tutorials on the program you use, and use every possible function you can to the fullest. There's no point in having a program you don't know how to use.

Anyways, your art, your rules, your everything. Use your style of preferred choice, always try out new things, keep practicing, long stokes not short strokes, use appropriate shading.... There are a crap ton of things to memorize and learn when it comes to doing art, and many of these things are possibly already being used without knowing it! The goal to being good is to know the basics, im not going to go into it because of the sheer amount of actual things it requires, or else I could be here for years.

You can learn more about how to do art with a few resources and websites such as :

- http://www.drawspace.com/
- http://www.learn-to-draw.com/
- http://www.reddit.com/r/learntodraw
- http://drawsketch.about.com/od/learn...rn-to-draw.htm

(I highly recommend going through these and getting some more skill onto expressing your arts)

Anyways that's all I can give for you right now. If you want to know more, then its up to you to learn on your own, with a Teacher, with a program etc.
The most important thing is to PRACTICE , and to keep things personalized. Your art is your decision, you are in control of it and its something you should enjoy. There's no point in doing it if you don't like it, unless there is a great profit in things, which shouldn't happen unless you are at a very advanced level.

Anyways take this to heart, PRACTICE, and have fun!

WOW
never noticed this page got new posts
for some reason i didnt get anything in my usertitle
well in reallife i have imagination and i can draw well!
Thank u all for these wonderful tips
ANnd thank u tomwanks
sorry for bumping this
and here i made my first shitty texture
http://forum.toribash.com/showthread...66#post7352866
ill keep making textures like these untill I get better

Everyone has 1000 shitty drawings trapped inside them, after that they get better.

Practice really counts in art.

I use Photoshop.
If you're starting off I would suggest just the default soft round brush.
With it, you can go very small to add detail or big to create shapes and shade quite smoothly.
Best of luck.





..And buy a damn tablet.

Okaythank
And I have a damn tablet. It its not to draw
Tab 2 7.0
I may draw with it if I get a tablet
