Yes, these are good, though I'd say it's best if done with a pen tablet rather than a mouse if your goal is to improve at drawing.

They seem basic, but try them. Easier said than done, right? Now try it with your arm instead of your wrist. Turns out a lot of y'all's fine control skills aren't as fine as you might think.

Does anyone have any advice for drawing hunched-over poses?

It's always gonna be "use references." Lots of pose resources out there; Maybe see if you can find the pose you want on Posemaniacs or Andorkastock, to name a couple.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to achieve a painterly look on a tablet? I'm struggling.

I rough-in the colour, then mostly use a blending tool to push it into place. Kind of like 2D sculpting..

That's typically going to require a combination of brush types and theory - I recommend going with the theory first and play with custom brushes much later.

This thread should probably be pinned.

Skoops and others have talked about this before, it would cause too many threads to be pinned, among other issues.


Someone please help me revive my clubs
