Hi! I have been using digital art on my phone for about 8 years now and have been a MediBang Paint loyalist this entire time. I’ve tried other programs over the years but none really stuck with me. Now, MediBang is entirely infested with ads and it’s getting unbearable. The final straw was them locking brushes that I have been using freely for almost a decade behind their “premium” features.

Do any of y’all have any recommendations for something similar or at least containing the same amount of content (I;e stabilizers, undo button, fill tools, custom brushes, etc)? I’ve heard good things about Procreate but I’m on the fence as the pocket version has a 3.8 rating and isn’t available on the computer which I use to connect to my drawing pad. It’s really sad to lose an app that has years worth of content on it, but if I can’t even use the brushes I’ve grown to love AND I’m getting ads every other minute, I have no other choice.

I am a traditional artist and I would say I am pretty good at it, but whenever I try to paint something digitally, I feel lost and end up with blurry paintings because I over blend them. Any advice?

Edit to add I am not new do digital medium. I know about layers and those things. Just struggling with actually painting decent stuff

I came across Xencelabs Pen Displays in the drawing course in my school and I found it scored 4.5 stars by some reviewers. Is it a brand only for the studios or professionals? Can I use it if I am just a beginner? I would take training in 3D animations in the future and hope I can make a good choice.

i know a lot can be improved upon but i’m still super proud of how the horse turned out :)

I want to keep this idea of crazy perspective aligned with the element of a window, i alredy painted the background but i think im open to change it or repaint

Hi. Im new to technology as far as art. I've only ever used pen, ink & paper but I'm applying for an art college & thought an art tablet would get me farther. I'm looking at a XP-PEN Artist12 Drawing Tablet & a GAOMON PD1161 Drawing Tablet on Amazon. Which should I get? I'm also on the move alot so would these or something else be a good option? Edit: I don't know anything about ipads so if I could get some info or links that'd be greatly appreciated

Hi!

I’m a very new digital doodler, I started last year and did a lot of it, life has been distracting for a while but I’m back into it and have stuck my teeth into a new project.

One element on the picture will be a fallen log, very much in the foreground of the picture, and I have absolutely no idea how to start getting any sense of realism given how natural the texture of a log actually is.

I use Procreate on the iPad Pro M4 from last year, if that’s helpful to know. Any videos, or channels, or general advice, or anything would be hugely appreciated!

I'm a art lover and wish to learn digital art from the beginning. I wish I could find concept artist job in the future so I wish to learn from the begining. Is there any beginner level digital art course and concept art course recommendation? I hope for each course, the payment won't be more than 1000 US$ and most importantly I can pay it through PayPal (I live in China so I can only pay with PayPal for now). Course can be anime style, cartoon style, fantasy style or anything. Language preferred is English or Chinese. Thank you!

Wanting the get into digital paintings but not really sure about what hardware to get. Is it okay to get used tablets and is there anything considered “outdated.” I was eying a used huion kamvas gt-221 pro for $100. Thank you!

i have just tried drawing for the first time on my laptop(mac), and i found out that it is so much weaker and slower than my pc that i cannot use my favourite krita anymore. what are the analogies that wouldn’t set my laptop on fire?

Getting back into drawing but I’m not sure if buying an iPad or a tablet would be better. I use to have the Cintiq 13hd but it was too clunky/cords were a bother and it just felt like it was a chore to set up, i wanted something where I can boot it up whenever without having to plug a lot in

Hello everyone, my name is Francesco and for several years I have been running connectivart a blog in which I talk about art with
interviews and articles, unfortunately I do not exceed 2000 readers on the site, but despite this I would like to renew myself
Changing communication and landing on YouTube as a vlogger and using social media with short videos. In the
I have had the opportunity to interview hundreds of artists and I would like to meet new ones. I wanted to ask you for a
couple of tips: What do I need to have to start making quality videos? How should I move to find
little-known talents?

Hi guys! I am looking for some feedback, I started conversación with a fb marketplace seller. She is selling her huion kamvas pro 24 qhd (2.5k) with packaging, cables and an adjustable arm for $250. I know this tablet might be old but I would like to hear some feedback, is this tablet still good, any issues with the tablet? Should I put some extra money to get a more modern tablet?

Thank you in advance
