I really just want to find time to draw my characters again.

People who like to draw digitally

solfi:

Why do you prefer it over drawing on paper? How do you do it? I’m under the impression that I’m getting worse and worse at digital art. Which is horrible, because in most professional works digital is required, and I can’t afford to sketch-and-scan, sketch-and-scan ad infinitum because it just won’t work for me. I’ll always feel better and more at ease with my watercolours and ink works, but right now perfecting digital lineart is not an option, it’s a necessity.

And god, the more I do it the harder it seems. I honestly can’t tell if it’s Photoshop’s fault (I also tried SAI and the lines came out oddly “craggy” and broken); if it’s my tablet that’s old and dying (a 3+ year-old Bamboo), or if I’m just plain terrible at it. I feel like any kind of precision is hopeless to achieve, because my strokes look nothing like they do on paper!!

So, what’s your process, brushes, tablets, secrets?

Pra falar a verdade, eu atualmente desenho mais na tablet do que no papel. Não tenho dica melhor do que desenhar direto na tablet até começar a sentir conforto com ela. ):

É verdade que as linhas não saem exatamente como queremos no PS, mas uma combinação de a) versão mais recente do PS + b) uma tablet parruda (Intuos 4 é bem melhor que a bamboo, e a Intuos 5 já está no mercado) podem ajudar a ter um resultado melhor com as linhas.

Minha config. básica pra sketchar no PS é a seguinte: brush redonda, hard, com uma textura ativada pra dar um aspecto mais crispy, + transfer + wet edges. Amo wet edges.

Also, tem muita gente que disponibiliza brushes e brush presets legais por aí, minha irmã me passou um muito bom que simula o traço de um lápis e maybe você se sente mais confortável se os rabiscos saírem com cara de tradicionais? Preciso ver onde ela conseguiu essa brush preset.

Which of your characters best represent you?

This is a post I’ve wanted to do for a while now. It’s past midnight, so I can’t really say I’ve “found the time” to do it, but I don’t care haha~ :DD

Dear followers

turnabout-art:

As of late, my life’s going through some huge changes, hopefully for the better. That means I’ll be left with very little time to draw Ace Attorney fanarts and updates should become more scarce. I’ll try to leave my queue full enough that you won’t notice my absence, but should I “disappear” for long periods of time, I just want you to know that I’m not on hiatus nor have I abandoned this blog.

Tumblr is the happiest place in the internet and Ace Attorney is the most precious fandom I’ve ever been part of. So please bear with me as I struggle through this new stage of my life.

I probably should have made this post in this blog as well but I totally forgot.

I think at this point we should conflate that machi and eiri are sisters from another mother. or brain-cousins or something. |D

I very much like this idea :D
