Congratz Anon! Cherish it. It's a good tablet, and it's what I first cut my teeth on. Cheers.  :D

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?

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

I was thinking about the Towergirls threads on 8/loomis/ and I feel like those were always a good way to get more people drawing, so I decided to make a little something up in the spirit of those.

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.

The most valuable and misunderstood tutorial is to copy good art. Good art is the result of most things being done right and very few things being done wrong, by copying it you're absorbing that information.

You just have to avoid doing it too much because it may become a habit to simply brainlessly copy without learning anything. First fill your brain with the right information by copying good art, then try to apply that knowledge by drawing on your own, then copy stuff again to refresh your mental model of how good art works, and keep going back and forth like that.

You might remember the thread I had on the old board. This thread is dedicated to studying comics, graphic stories, manga, etc. to learn the techniques and methods thereof.

Do you happen to know any books that are similar to McCloud's but it emphasizes on manga?
Replies: >>949
>>854
 I wouldn't call it similar to McCloud in a technical sense, but I would consider Araki's book "Manga in Theory and Practice" obligatory reading, and it digs deep into the elements needed for comics.
I think as far as the technical aspect is concerned, there's not a whole lot. This book is very dated, but it goes over a lot of technical basics. The problem I have with these books is that there are some things and techniques that aren't touched upon (like the Nodo zone, Mekuri and Hiki)
https://archive.org/details/HDMVol.30PenToneTechniques/mode/2up
I would not really recommend the older how to draw series books, they're extremely dated and mostly focus on trying to teach you to draw (badly) and you should already have basic grasps of how to draw or you will struggle.

If you're not sure about composing pages, you will not likely find much information about that beyond basic overviews of how to do sequential art (like is discussed in McCloud's book) Read manga and take notes from artists you enjoy. Most everyone has different styles of page composition. Learning how to do this is a lot of practice.
