That was blunt, but I wanted to get your attention.

This is a new group that I founded to promote critiquing and unity among artists who wish to improve. As soon as we start growing, the hope is to become a hub for people to get advice and help on their artwork; and a home for articles, guides, and tutorials. I would love to see you there!

Visit #ArtistCooperative for a more detailed description of what we do. Thank you so much for your time!

Spread the word!

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch, swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

Awesome works!
I was wondering if getting a pen tablet would be worth it or not? And if so which one should i get for a good price cuz im pretty sure they cost Lots O' Cash money

I like your tutorial but i don't have a pen tablet to follow up on it lol
Anyways Like I said awesome drawings!!!! Love them all!

~a-l-m Nov 15, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thank you.

And sorry for the late response D:

If are interested in doing digital art, it is ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT to get a pen tablet. Wacom is arguably the best brand for tablets. They have a lot of different tablets with varying price ranges. Usually, their Bamboo line is the cheapest (here's one on Amazon for $70). I personally use a Wacom Intuos 4 which cost me around $200. I had a $100 Wacom Graphire before this, and it lasted me years. So far the money I spent on my tablet has definitely been worth it.

There are cheaper tablets out there. Do a search on Amazon for "Drawing Tablet" and you'll find many options. But I advise you to stay away from non-Wacom tablets, especially the ones that are like $30. I know from experience, these are totally shit.

If you've never done art on the computer before, I would suggest waiting until you know you want to pursue it. A lot of artists do get by with a mouse, but it's much quicker, easier, and smoother to use a pen tablet (not to mention the magic of having pen pressure).

Oh not at all late I'd would wait till the ends of the earth for an expert's advice. Thank you so much for the advice on the tablet. I'll be picking up a tablet as soon as I can afford one now! Well I'm going to eventually start drawing concepts for my videogame hopefully by late january early february. Lol I rlly need help with rendering things such as hair, metal, wood, shine, rag, the elements, etc. UGH This is gonna b a very busy holiday for me. I hope you can stick by me for just a bit as I grow on DA.

~a-l-m Nov 15, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Oh Lordy, I'm definitely not an expert, haha. But I'm glad to help, if you have any further questions don't hesitate.
