Digital Horsies :D

Art Critique CatChewer - Thursday, January 25, 2007 - 22:21

I got a wacom tablet as a belated birthday present this Christmas and I love it! Horses is something I've always been pretty comfortable drawing, so my first tentative sketches on the wacom were of course horses. I thought I would post them and see what you guys think :)

P.S: I'm working on one manga picture but I'm kind of struggling with it. I'll put it up when I'm done (in like 5 years at the rate it's going :( ).

Edit: Finally made a nice picture. Took me something like 6 hours in total ><

Haha! Thanks. I'm have so much trouble coordinating myself when I'm not looking straight at the drawing and drawing ON it.

I have a Deleter one, and

EpsilonZero; Friday, January 26, 2007 - 01:31

I have a Deleter one, and it's served me fairly well. But tablets have a Mt. Everest learning curve no matter which one you get. I've had it over a year now, and there are still days when it gives me hell.^^;

But still, a GREAT improvement to the mouse.{=j

If

xXRed13Xx; Friday, January 26, 2007 - 04:28

If you are going to get one I wouldn't bother buying a cheap one. If you get a cheap one then they are generally small and personally I find that really hard to draw with, when your looking at the screen and the lines you are drawing on the tablet are NOTHING like in proportion to what is appearing, it just makes things more difficult. I also found that when using the mouse on the tablet I would always go off the edge which was annoying... I basically hate the cheap small tablets :D

Caramel: Well I was awful at

CatChewer; Friday, January 26, 2007 - 17:25

Caramel: Well I was awful at drawing horses before, but one day when I had a HUGE cold and had to stay home from school. So i picked up my model horsies and started drawing off them :D Have to say it helped alot.

EpsilonZero: AAAH! But I guess practice makes perfect... Eventually...

Red: Yeah I got a proper sized one. Felt kind of bad because it turned out to be super expensive (I went with my parents to buy it, so I saw the prices). But then it turned out that they buy so many electronic knick-knacks that they had a bunch of bonus points that made it somewhat cheaper.

Mine was

xXRed13Xx; Friday, January 26, 2007 - 19:49

Mine was £179.99 crazy prices, but if you use the computer alot I think it's definitely worth it. They are brilliant for games aswell, with infa red mice (do you say mice when it's a computer mouse?) or roller ball mice they tend to bug out, or skip accross the screen or generally not be as smoothe, the tablets are just brilliant, I have a Wacom 15 inch :)

They're cool looking, and it

Joamette Gil; Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 19:34

They're cool-looking, and it seems you've got the basic idea of a horse's anatomy down. But I'd love to see a drawing of a horse with defined lines. Rough sketches like that are hard to critique since there are so many lines defining any one aspect of the drawing. I mean, if you want constructive criticism based on these, you might as well break a blind guy's glasses before asking his opinion.

They're still much better than any horse I could draw. :)

At a price like that, it had

At a price like that, it had better be sugar-coated and diamond-encrusted.
