more poses
I have honest question.
can i start a thread with just my drawings for journaling?

i dont feel like my drawings are safe in my phone. I can preserve my paper ones but when this phone goes poof like all do in like a year or two. I'd just like to pls? Its not like its only for me ppl can talk and critique. Its only that i need a place to save my stuff without it being like mainstream? Visble? Idk u get the point. (i hope u do) i dont wanna piss anyone off 

thank u

how to draw upside down??? i literally simply flipped it but it dont look exactly what i usually do the other way

[Hide] (32.1KB, 306x333) Reverse
it looks ok but not what i imagined when its flipped...possibly also cuz i used to have a single picture i use as reference for being v good...and its now gone and i cant seem to, reproduce it strictly from, faint memory

Be more specific, are you drawing from a reference that's flipped upside down? Are you trying to draw a figure laying flat and viewed from an upside-down angle?
Try to draw this image as it is: upside down. Recreate the drawing as best you can, without flipping your paper/canvas right-side up until you're finished with the drawing. This will help you see individual parts in more detail.
I'd also recommend going through this book in general for a great starter on how to draw.

exactly. except i did it from memory too. without reference. it worked easier not flipped. also everything i learned just do not, flip right away. like, almost, but incomplete.

linux is pain
but otherwise i'm going through the donut tutorial and its going ok but when he's talking about moving faces along other faces it's not working right, i have everything setup the same way but it distorts the whole geometry when I try to move anything. probably just some dumb glitch though.
My advice would be to install flatpak, and flatpak's version of blender or swap your packages to the unstable branch if you're on a debian-based distro.

Debian is so iron-hard-stability-focused that it's packages are often years out of date.

turns out i'm retarded, i installed HIP from my package manager and it just works (was looking for ROCm packages instead of HIP, which is what blender uses for acceleration) even though it's one version below what Blender says it requires.

Yea that really sucks.
Still going with amd in my future new build though. Nvidia is overpriced.

>Nvidia is overpriced.
In what world? I got an "equivalent" Nvidia card to replace my AMD card and it runs better, cooler, and quieter (and isn't as big and heavy) for only about $30 more than the current going price of AMD, all at the cost of having a slightly less streamlined and more hands-on initial setup experience in Linux.

Congratz Anon! Cherish it. It's a good tablet, and it's what I first cut my teeth on. Cheers.  :D
>>1752
I also bought my second tablet, first one was a Huion Giano that was big and felt nice but died within a year (if you scroll back up in the thread you can see me complaining about it). Bought a small Wacom and am waiting for it now.
Is there a good guide for transitioning from drawing on pencil and paper to drawing with a tablet, specifically for Krita?
Replies: >>1791
>>1790
There's nothing to learn about tablets, you just need to use it for some time to get used to it.

Learning Krita or another program is an entirely separate topic from tablets. For drawing the most important thing to learn is shortcuts for moving/zooming the canvas and changing brush size. I tend to disable the tablet buttons and use keyboard shortcuts, my most important shortcuts are (some of them are probably not defaults):
- X = toggle eraser mode on/off
- Alt = color picker
- Shift + left click drag = change brush size
- Space + left click drag = move canvas
- Ctrl + middle click drag = zoom canvas in/out
- Shift + middle click drag = rotate canvas
- 0 = reset zoom
- 9 = reset rotation

This will be a personal challenge for me. I will draw every day for 100 days straight and post my progress here. I have failed myself time and time again by losing motivation or getting distracted and I am sick of it. I've reorganized my schedule and devoted two hours each day to drawing. If I miss even a single day, I want you to bully me (all three of you) mercilessly. Nothing short of death will stop be from finishing this.
Here I go.

DAY 100
SUPREME VICTORY
Some days I drew a lot. Some days I drew barely anything. But I put pencil to paper for 100 days straight, regardless of where I was in the world or how blasted I got the night before. I'll still continue to post here for the time being, but only for stuff I'm actually putting effort into (i.e. no need to post warmup drawings every day). Thanks to the few of you that are still here and supported me through this, as there were a lot of days that really made it feel pointless.
And remember, you're gonna make it.

Now i am scared as you were an explicit lifeline around.
Congratulations, proved that you can draw a hundred days straight and that your word means something. When i get a pad or a scanner i will attempt something similar although with something small, i bought for pencils and things just because i thought about this thread.
>>1955
Congratulations man and looking forward to your future posts.
