Curious About Digital Art? Your First Look as a Traditional Artist

[@minitapsstudio]

It's really super fun to use both mediums! Personally, I literally use both haha. Because I don't have scanner or printer yet, I would draw on paper then copy and transfer it to digital. We're also not well off, so the convenience and cost-effectiveness digital offers is such a big help. I started out with just a phone and my finger. 😂 Now, I have my own tablet and stylus pens. Hoping to save up for more equipment in the near future!! Keep going, artists!! 💛

Wow, really?🤯 You drew on your phone? That’s amazing skill! I met a girl who did the same and made stickers to sell at a local market before. I can't belive you could do that with your finger on the small screen! It’s such a motivating way to collect things little by little while you’re polishing your art skills✨ We’re all in the same boat, enjoying our art lives. Let’s go!💪✨

Hi Chika! I enjoyed watching this video on digital art! I find digital art very fun to do, because there are many walkthrough tutorials I can follow on KZbin that shows you how to create a picture. I am not very good at coming up with the idea and drawing it out, so I use tutorials almost like art therapy. I like following along with Art with Flo as they have some easy-to-follow designs. I really liked that ipad stand too that you showed at the beginning. Do you edit videos using your ipad too? I'm wondering if that stand would be useful for that as well for me as my neck get stiff looking down to edit videos. I am very interested in trying to learn how to do watercolor in procreate to make cozy food and snack scenes, and this video helped to inspire me to dive back in. Thanks for the video, and I hope you have a great week!

Hi Evie! I hope you had a good weekend! I’ve tried editing videos on my iPad before, but the screen is too small for that, and it gave me dry eyes almost immediately. Thankfully, my husband is really familiar with tech stuff, so all the devices I use are his recommendations including the screen I’m using 😆. Oh, drawing food and snacks is definitely fun! I recently watched the latest Ghibli movie, and it really motivated me to draw food. Why does it always look so delicious in their films? Haha. Have a good weekend!

How your look cute 🥺💗💗💗💗

Oh thank you so much☺️✨🩷It means a lot!

Thank you for your insights on this! I'd love to do more digital art (used to be my job!) but at the moment... gotta save up for that expense. It's great though as you said, for flexibility and usually speed too. I definitely want to get Procreate.... and animations! I used to program in Flash, but that's long gone now... Im having to rely on Canva! Haha! Not the best option... but... in a pinch, it works! Thanks, Chika!

Ooooh Flaaaaash!!! 🤯 It’s so nostalgic! I really can’t keep up with the speed of technology! If we think about it, it wasn’t that long ago, right? I enjoy your demonstration of not relying too much on the digital side. (I mean your pure drawing skills are stunning. ) I think it makes your channel feel more human and I found it it's a big value from your channel^^

Chi-Chan! I am so happy that you’re making this video. It will be helpful when it’s time for me to jump back into my Procreate when I get my new iPad Pro. My current one is 8 years old :D So it’s a bit dated. But sometimes I do feel that the convenience of digital art, makes me to draw less traditionally? I know it’s a personal issue, so I need to find the balance between these two techniques. I won’t set anymore sketchbook completion goals next year, so I will be more free to explore other mediums. This video actually is very helpful for people to make a shopping list too. Animation is something that I haven’t yet explored. I can’t wait to do that :D Hey… why are there two videos this week?!! Rakiiiiii!!!

[@ogawachikako]

Hi, Alex! I remembered that you have an iPad that you haven’t used for a while. I think you’ll enjoy it as a different medium. But I agree with you. I’ve recently stuck to my sketchbook because I thought I enjoyed the time spent feeling textures and art materials. Animation takes time if you do traditionally, but I enjoy it (I have made over 200 layers for 8 seconds animation before haha) As you said, it’s all about finding balance🍂 I just finished tomorrow's video... phew! It was a bit rushed, haha. I’ll see you tomorrow☺️✨

@@ogawachikako Evie was telling me earlier that mistakes like posting videos earlier than planned is are pretty common. She said that you can unlist it (maybe similar like making it private) and then relist it on the day when you want people to see it. But I am glad you’re able to get another one done in time. Even if you don’t post another one tomorrow, I don’t think anyone would be upset since we basically get 2 videos last week. We can always watch them again :D 200 layers for a 8-second video?!!! >.< okay… I may not have that kind of energy or resolve to do something like that. We’ll see.
