PaintTool Sai is around $50 I think. I want the program as well. D :
I use photoshop and gimp for my graphics. I always draw a sketch (which is always terrible because I can't really use tablets to draw) and then I do the lineart after.
For a beginner with tablets, you have exceptional talent. The oldest picture on my computer is from a year or two ago when I drew in MS paint connecting lines purely tabletless. I learned to color with a laptop mouse. Until recently, I was bad at coloring.
Speaking of which, I have never used an internet based drawing program. I must try it sometime.

That it is. I would buy it first thing as soon as I get money but I already decided that my cosplay was top priority. DX
I have never used corel so I wouldn't know how to work it.
The quality of the art really depends on the tablet and hand-eye coordination. I have a cheaper tablet that works only if the cord is bent a certain way.
When I draw with my tablet, I have to draw a certain way or my stuff doesn't look right. D :
I should try one of those sometime. It sounds really fun. ^ ^

Yesh, cosplay. > w <
My cosplay is going to range from 160-240 dollars depending on who I go as. As far as who I'm going as, I have yet to choose. I have three characters to pick from.
It takes a bit of practice to get used to drawing with a tablet but I can do it.
It was my so called "broken tablet" that wasn't broken. It takes a few minutes to adjust the cord and then I can't shift my laptop or tablet after or it disconnects. DDX

I only get money during my birthday and Christmas and at both times I get around 170$ so I decided that I was going to save my money.
I have a so called 'broken laptop' too. It turns on when it wants to. D :

Lol. XDD
I finally decided my cosplay for next year. ; 3

It is expensive. D :
I know that I most certainly will wear it more than once and I'll be cosplaying as Saber from Fate Stay Night.

i love the outfit!

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-07 23:49:58 +0000 UTC]
I do too but after total outfit research, it will cost a lot. Though, if I substitute shoes, it brings the cost down a lot. ; D
My birthday is in two days so that means I shall be getting the outfit ordered at least by the end of September and I might (even though a very slim chance) end up with Paint Tool SAI or a new Tablet.

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-12 23:07:09 +0000 UTC]
Yesh it was. ^ - *
The shoes were 56$ but that brought my cost up to 202$ so I could afford it but, many people sub the shoes.
Yay. It's okay, was reading manga too.
On top of that, after staring for months at my drawings and lack of improvement, I found today, that in all my work, I could see what was wrong. So in a sense, I can finally see how to improve. ; D

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-17 01:15:54 +0000 UTC]
It took a while before I noticed and then one day everything didn't seem right. That's also due to the small changes I keep making. I always try to improve but lately it's been getting harder. D :
My improvement progress has been low because I'm at a level where it's hard to improve.
I also am dead set on being an artist or the likes when I'm older and I have a never ending love with art so my enthusiasm comes from nowhere. I also draw while I sing to music playing rather loudly.

Jiurei In reply to Scrouton [2009-08-19 19:27:54 +0000 UTC]
exactly! its just like that for me too; keep changing stuff so its hard to improve Dx
and yeah.. i dont know where to improve right now.. but in terms of coloring, i still have lots to go
and i havent used my tablet for like a month now D; i ought to use that sometime; i just cant get much comp time with all my siblings present D;

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-20 00:32:10 +0000 UTC]
I keep changing things which is making my improvement easier. Between rounding off chins, body shape, placement of eyes, adding a nose and mouth, and posing the drawings to work with my non-formulated madness, I'm slowly improving. D :
As far as coloring, I would love to guide you but I don't think the way I color would match your style.
I've used my tablet to much for a month. My hand stiffens and clamps up if I spend more than 6 hours drawing without a break.
I'm also ready to cry because of how badly I want paint tool Sai. ; - ;

Jiurei In reply to Scrouton [2009-08-20 20:24:12 +0000 UTC]
i cant even draw for 3 hours with out taking a break
wow your definitely focused!
i definitely need to focus too if i want to improve T_T
yeah definitely! a lot of amazing artists here uses paint sai; and its really recommended by lots of people too
i'd love to get my hands into one of those too! i only have corel painter for now hopefully i can use that until i get (hopefully) SAI and i still need to pratice those layers T_T
i still dont quite get taht stuff Dxx

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-20 20:37:14 +0000 UTC]
I can draw/color for many hours straight. I usually forget to take a break. I don't know how I can stay so focused.
Well I wanted to test Sai out to see if I liked it so I am trailing the software. I really want it. D :
For now I have photoshop CS3 and I have managed to devise a crazy CG method which works. ; 3
It's been maybe two years since I started CG. It's been so long! I understand layers too well. D X

well your enthusiasm is very high ^0^
yea i also had that trial SAI months ago, when i didnt had a tablet yet and it was confusing Dxx
hopefully when i can try it again it wouldnt be much like that
wow 2 years?? thats amazing!

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-21 19:02:28 +0000 UTC]
Yay?! I don't know where the enthusiasm comes from. Probably my strong desire to live my life focused around art. ; 3
Lol. I don't usually trial software but since my tablet is being a good tablet lately, I decided to trial it. Graphic software isn't too confusing for me though cause I'm used to it.
I really want to purchase it. I'll probably buy it after I get my cosplay.
I got my tablet in September of last year but before that I connected lines in MS Paint and colored with my hand. D X

yea that probably it ^0^
mines just for the sake of drawing... for fun; but hopefully when i finally get an art class ill be able to up it more; but right now when i started doing bgs (which are all crappy btw xD)my enthusiasm is definitely rising ^^
whoa paint? i tried using that thing and i sure suck Dxx
they are all messy and wiggly; can never control it D;
that must have been very challenging

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-23 13:30:50 +0000 UTC]
I probably will go into fashion design. ; D
I draw for fun and for my future. My enthusiasm seems to be rising as well because I know how to get better (but I'm stuck in a bottomless pit because my art is coming out as all scraps lately)so I keep practicing.
Uggh. Backgrounds are hard. They're even harder on the computer. Yesterday my dad said I should go into architecture but I fail at architecture. D :
Paint was hard and easy at first. Somehow I managed but now I show no skill. xD

Sweet.
I love designing the clothes for my OC's and stuff. Though I have eradicated almost all of my OC's in existence.
Well, my eyes really changed for the better. Nothing of mine looks right anymore. Though I'm still trying to get better (with a now burning desire) because when I draw on my tablet, I can't draw on paper well after so now I have 1100+ drawings in a scrap pile. D :
I hate architecture. I can draw it well, but I don't have the patience for it.
Though, when it comes to backgrounds, I just add grass, water (which I can't do), clouds, hearts, suns, moons, beads, cloth banner things, maybe a chair, or anything symbolic that matches the theme of the picture.

Jiurei In reply to Scrouton [2009-08-25 15:12:57 +0000 UTC]

i dont like drawing straight lines all the time Dx; thats the worst thing bout architecture
thats what i mostly do too! but im more of those abstracty ones because its easier lol; i wont mind very much if the lighting it wrong

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-25 15:25:26 +0000 UTC]
I do. Though most of my old ones and even new ones I decided to eradicate. xDD
Yes I do. My pile is around 5 inches thick or so. I've kept all my drawings since 7th grade. Though, I don't really like anything in my pile anymore. D :
I hate using rulers. I also agree with not liking to draw straight lines. Same with circles. = _ =''
I like doing stuff like that too. It's much much easier. > w <

Scrouton In reply to Jiurei [2009-08-28 21:34:47 +0000 UTC]
I don't know how many I have anymore.
All but one of my characters are designs that I liked so I named the character but they really aren't OC's. D X X
Yesh. Five inches roughly.
I can somewhat live with circles but I hate lines. They are too time consuming. ; _ ;
