  • @Devils-Eve
    @Devils-Eve 3 года назад +11

    I'm an experienced artist with pens, pencils and paints on paper or canvas. But once I made the transition to digital it was hard, but once I got a feel for it all my knowledge of art eventually transitioned over. So in a sense I did have to start with square one, it was frustrating knowing you can make art a lot better on paper but having to stick with this to get better, and I did, but it also has to do with what kind of tablet you have. Display tablets are definitely the way to go the others are just way too hard to adjust to.

      @Haleymrn 3 года назад +2

      I used to have this problem. I struggle for like 5months?? Even after learning basic forms, light shadows, planes, i still mess up. I do this digitally and assumed I already understand everything but I didn't realize I'm not applying what I learned. the thing that I found to be helpful for values is when I started learning traditional oil painting with grayscale. I exercise myself 30min each portrait focusing only in 4-5 values with a reference. I see huge difference in my improvement when you only have limited palette for a short time and when I go back to digital it's now easier for me to paint even with colors. I also suggest evolve artist course but it's expensive, I'm not a student of this program but I find their curriculum the best way to learn values.
