[tinkles96]

ugh i got a free trial with my tablet but i cant even get it to draw

can you help u seem to be good at it

[xXSythenXx]

I absolutely love your work, I've only recently gotten into the whole drawing on a computer scene, and have bought myself a medium Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch. I was wondering what you use, or recommend using. And from a general sketching perspective, do you recommend any tips when drawing? ^^

Thanks! ^^

Before I bought my Cintiq (21UX), I actually used a Bamboo. Very good quality. :D As for tips... All I can think to say is don't over-complicate things. When you're sketching, keep it simple, and add details later. Otherwise you'll just drive yerself bonkers, ^^

[DegenWoW]

You have a GIFT! realy talented!

[PHOENIXdesigns]

How sweet, thank you. ^^

[thymeraven]

I actually thought that was pretty awesome for a first time sketch...although i thought it was a guy at first till i saw the boobs lol sorry

[Iakovostheman]

woot man i want to learn make sketches too any site or smth which shows the steps?

[Fortist]

Hahahaha.

Hahahaha.

Oh God, wow.

You think a site can show you how to make sketches?

Hahaha.

Ive found the biggest art idiot.

[Iakovostheman]

Fu?

[Sonny918Wu]

Please, what brush did you use for lineart? How to ajust the brush to make the lineart like yours? It's so precise.

[PHOENIXdesigns]

I use the scratchboard tool under the "pen" section, and I make sure that I have pressure sensitivity on. As for size, pressing ctrl+alt and moving your cursor adjusts the size of the brush.

If you're talking about the accuracy though, it's because of my tablet, not the brush. xD

[DegenWoW]

scratchboard tool ... Where i can found it pls :(((

[PHOENIXdesigns]

Well, as I already mentioned, it's under "pens" in the tools. But if you're having difficulty finding it there, you might not have the right program? This is Corel Painter 10, or "X".

[DegenWoW]

@PHOENIXdesigns : I have Corel Painter X, but i still cannot found it :DD i am noooob. If you have icq, pls write me > 430940319

[InSaneTK]

Cover Pencil is the lineart brush. I use it for both sketching and lineart. Just increasing the size of the brush when I sketch with it.

[SimsRBD1234]

what brushes have you used? thank you for the tutorial:D I am new with the corel painter x sorry for my english

[LeonandCody]

ok so i went on to find a tablet do you think a genius 8x6 for 50 bucks is a good buy! PHOENIXdesigns

[LeonandCody]

THX SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good drawing

[LeonandCody]

how much does the tablet cost? plz respond A.S.P.A thanks!!!!!

[PHOENIXdesigns]

Well, the Wacom tablet I was using can run anywhere from 50-90$, and the one I use now (my cintiq 21UX) runs for about 4,000$.

[GlukokortykoiD]

Very nice sketch and vid. What tablet are you using?

[PHOENIXdesigns]

At the time of this sketch I was using a Wacom Bamboo, but now I use a Wacom Cintiq 21UX.

[Kaeben]

hey great sketch! how did u rotate the picture?

[PHOENIXdesigns]

On my computer it's actually a hotkey on my tablet. :o

[KusoGaki1986]

nice sketch there buddy, u've got talent.. and my god u learnt to use the program very quickly lol...

[PHOENIXdesigns]

Well, for the past few years I've been using a few freeware open-source programs that had somewhat similar controls, so that made the transition to a retail program a lot easier.

[savetheworldpagan]

I think I have a long long way before I can do it as good as you though heh heh I been using photoshop :/ which I really suck at lol just trying to find the best programme for myself.........

[savetheworldpagan]

Wow thank you very much...any help is appreciated ;) I love you anime its really fantastic :D keep up the great workkkk xxx

[savetheworldpagan]

Hi there,

Nice art ;) can you tell me how to change the tips of the brushes on painter if you know :/ so the brush can be slightly slanted and thick to thin.........

Thank you x

[PHOENIXdesigns]

I only just got the program myself, so I'm still learning the ins and outs of the program. I'd help you out if I could. :D

If it helps any, I used the cover pencil for the sketch, and the Scratchboard tool (under "pens") for the nice ink lines.
