Sorry I've been away...moving flat and all that jazz. No internet yet either...I'm uploading this from work ^_^' Just got another trial for the screen cap software too, so hopefully there'll be more of these soon! Music by Bensound.
SmallPet Sweets Thank you. It's nice to finally have found my style... It's pretty unique and distinguishable too =) I realised a lot of my drawings 3 years ago just looked like every other horse cartoon... or at least kinda similar to Spirit.... or even just a realistic horse but with stylized eyes and added eyebrows! It didn't feel very creative. So I'm super happy I've found my place as an artist ^.^
Ahh, I love your newer drawing style! I loved your older drawings but this style looks so unique and different to that. If I may ask - are you doing anything particular with these horses or did you just draw them for fun? I'd love to a comic or something with them so I was just wondering.
The Diamond Retriever I've been through a few over the last 5 years. All from the Wacom brand. I started with a Wacom Bamboo, then moved on to the Medium (A4 work area) sized Wacom Intuos 5... Now for the last year I've been using the Cintiq 13 HD, and it's wonderful. I always hated drawing on a tablet and having to look at the screen separately... So now with the Cintiq I draw directly on the screen =). It also is handy as a portable monitor. It wasn't cheap, but as an artist it's been the best investment of my life!
The Diamond Retriever Ah, procreate is brilliant! I'd definitely recommend investing in a good pressure sensitive pen for the ipad. I have an 'Adonit Jot Pro', but there are loads of other options out there. No worries! I'm always happy to help out new artists. I was there once, was absolutely clueless, and I was always hugely grateful when anybody helped me =) Good luck with your drawings! I'm planning to make a video in future showing the kinds of things I've done to get where I am... Important stuff I learned and what not.
CinnamonMewMew Okay, great! Do some tablets have like... special touchscreen pens or something? Because even with a finger, it's a struggle. And thank you so much for answering! I'm a BIG fan. :) I hope to see you at Breyerfest this year, if you go, of course.
I'm working on it whenever I have spare time. I'm super excited. I'm loving the character backstories. I'm writing up Persephone's right now. It's taking its time because I have to create the whole world... All the history, the legends, the roots of the characters and their own personal experiences, and emotional development... it's gonna be deeeeep.
