All About Digital Draw, Scribble or Doodle

[missjoan]

I would appreciate if you can share your artworks (for inspirations) and resources especially the tools or softwares or any online trainings (i.e. youtube).

Currently I'm using my galaxy note to doodle then sa photoshop ko sya ine enhance. gusto ko namang maglevel up na. I'm just a beginner like level 0 talaga and I planned to explore my 'artistic' side (if meron man, hehe). Di ko alam if Wacom is the best tool. and if yes, for a beginner like me anong unit dapat?


Any inputs is highly appreciated! Thanks.

My daughter loves digital animating.  She does it on her DS, I think she has over a thousand fans on Flipnote Hatena.  We're looking into Wacom tablets to help develop her skills.  Thinking of getting the Wacom Create vs Capture.

Hi @xthine, wow she is so inspiring. sana maencourage ko rin son ko para dalawa na kami. sis, ano po pala ang DS? at what age nagstart sa digital animation ang daughter mo po? anak ko kase puro sa papel lang for now  eh gusto ko rin sya maencourage mag draw sa computer.

Nintendo DS is a gaming console, she uses a DSi and it has an application where one could make drawings and animations.  With the Flipnote application is an accompanying website where they could share their art.  I checked on her profile recently and it looks like she has about 1800 fans worldwide.  She exhibited creativity at an early age but her drawings and sketches started probably when she was 7 or 8 using Paint on the PC.  She started animating using Flipnote studio about 2 years ago.  I still get her sketchbooks and emphasize the importance of being able to draw on paper. She mostly draws cartoons, Manga type characters. 

I bought a Wacom Bamboo Create for her this weekend.  It comes with Corel Painter 4 and Autodesk Sketchbook Express.  She's still trying to figure out how to draw with the new software, she's still finds it tricky and still has a lot to learn.  I'm hoping she stays patient with learning the new platform so she can take her drawing to the next level.  I heard Wacom tablets are good options for digital art, there are different types for different needs.  Have you looked at their website?  My daughter wasn't fond of drawing on the iPad and using the rubber tip stylus.  There is an Autodesk Sketchbook app in the App Store, it looks like they have the Sketchbook Mobile Express in the Play Store for android.

^ hi xthine, what application pala yun digital animation sa DSi.... i'm quite interested kasi.  thanks.

[xthine]

@babyastig - It's called Flipnote, I'm not sure if it's pre installed on the DSi but I know it's free.  There are other apps for animating in the Wii shop.

ok...... will check ko later...super thanks.  wala kami wii.....

[xthine]

No problem, I meant DSi Ware..the equivalent of the App Store on the DSI.

^ xthine, got the program.  Super thanks....

If you have iOS/Android devices you can try Adobe Ideas. It's really nice kasi may auto-smoothing feature. I downloaded the app on my iPad when it was newly released and still free at that time but now I think it costs $9.99 na. It may be quite pricey for some but I really like the app. For more tools but lower price you have Autodesk Sketchbook Pro at $2.99.

Hello!

I recommend using Wacom tablets with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Both are industry standards ngayon for graphic design, professional drawing and pwede magedit edit

Sis you should definitely use Paint Tool Sai kasi kahit mouse lang ang gamit mo, maganda pa rin ang kakalabasan ng drawing mo. And you can also find inspirations on Deviantart. I hope this helps.
