Haha thanks for the compliment!

[DanielRKM]

Thank you! I can't wait to finally make this scene (I say finding SOoooo many excuses to ignore it )

I was aiming for capybaras, but they came out more

Another couple of otters.

otterly whimsical.

So, after a lot of tries, I am kind of happy with how I am drawing in traditional!
And I wonder, how many trial and error did get to me here, like, I had bought a lot of pencils, paints, paper, etc, some I discovered I don't like, others I found very easy to work with, and all just to find this perfect combination of instruments, that along a lot of practice from the digital programs, let me do something like this. And this is nothing too exciting either! I could do better because this was a practice drawing, but, anyway. How much practice, and money have you invested to get you so far, people? How much do you think that you will need to get where you want to be?

Here's a mega double-paged update. One of my favorite updates.. went all out on these 2 pages

[TroyVSTheWorld]

There is a trope in fiction that a guy named Troy is ALWAYS attractive and I'm here for it

@Legendofgenii omg I almost died of cuteness attack with these otterlings

Hi everyone, I'm back!

[DanielRKM]

Daaaaang! Seeing this really makes me want to invest and put all my neglected sketchbooks to good use. What's in your traditional art supply arsenal?

Here's one of my characters Noah Chompsky. He's a vampire dinosaur with the ability to change size and fly.

@simonitropunk All that hard work has certainly paid off.

@Aleksei I’m still paying off my student loans. I possibly spend less these days, as I work digitally, but I have purchased a couple of drawing tablets that didn’t suit me, as well as software I’ve tinkered with… only to run back to Photoshop.

[Aleksei]

@DanielRKM Well, as for now, as I am trying to develop a sense of values, and shadows, I am working with an 8H Derwent Graphic pencil for the sketchs, and 0.3 sakura mechanical pencil for final sketch, a G-pen for the outlines (I bought the 'deleter trial pen set' with other nibs, but that one I liked the best), and Kuretake black ink; for the inside lines I use a 005 Pigma Micron tracer pen, a Kuretake Brush Pen for the whole black areas (I don't want to use the ink for that, is too much black xd), annd maybe some other tracer for the details, a 10 white Sakura Gelly Roll, to fix mistakes and add shine... and that would be all for now.
I just bought some a grey set of TouchNew markers, but I still need them to get delivered home, and then I will add some more depth to my drawings, if I end up understanding well how to use them xd.
Now I need an scanner, because I don't think that my cellphone is doing justice to the hard work that takes doing a traditional drawing! I would gladly hear names of scanners from the community, as I have no idea wich is good to scan drawings n_nU

@Legendofgenii Oh, yeah! I have also spent some money on tablets! The only program I allow myself to be lost in nowdays, though, is Clip Studio Paint. It took me a while to change photoshop for it, but after I found a brush I really liked, I was sold on CSP (a pack of 10 brushes from JimmyReyesArt in Gumroad, if anyone wants to go and buy it, only for 10 dollars). Who knows, maybe if I find another brush for photoshop I might go back there =P

[Calculus_Homework]

working on reference sheets. kinda makes you think a bit more of how to draw in general. LOL

[Lunar-Turtle]

Cel shading everywhere

[EncryptedWriting]

Trying to work on males and stuff. Doing free headshots for some folks and don't complete hate it? Lol.

Update:

[thepenmonster]

I bought two new 샤프 (mechanical pencils) for about CAD$20 each which means my art should be $40 good from now on. I gave them a bit of a run this evening.

The all metal build was comfy and gave me a good grip. Being metal suggests that maybe they'll last me more than the cheaper pencils I tend to buy, but all I can say to that is CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, STAEDTLER JAPAN!

@Calculus_Homework the one in the upper middle with dark hair made me think of Taxedo Mask 🤭

More hugging chibis because first time I failed to hear what Dark wanted (but I will still use yesterday's ones somewhere). Made these into WT rating banner since someone ruined it xD mothafookers
