FANART-NESS! Yayyyy~~~ to first time digital. Which program did you use? SAI, PS, MS, OC, or some mobile app? I like how it looks like marker. Maybe the lines could have tapered a bit more, though adding thicker variations would help the dynamics of the piece.

Ahh, now I have the urge to draw the gruffily-ugly-assumed-to-be-real Saitou that I've seen on Wikipedia and call it fanart. 8'D

Mahahah. Flower petals.

Haha ty! I used cs5 and i started this by just messing with brush setting and one thing led to another xD
I plan to keep redoing the hair till its perfect! Main reason i was practicing with brush settings...

Practice makes perfect right?

Back to the drawing board! Gotta find the right brush for me!

I do like the solidity of his hair more here~~ And this is with a drawing tablet, right? Just making sure, since people always seem to assume I'm talking about touch screen tablets, rather than the tablets with attached USB plugs.

But, yeah, it is something to get used to. The first time I got one, I did not understand why it wasn't marking the way I wanted it to. Took a year for me to realize that the driver was not properly working and had to go to the Wacom site to reinstall it. But the good thing about drawing digitally is that you don't necessarily forget how it feels after ages of not doing so. Now, it's the touch screen tablets and phones that are personally more difficult to work with, especially without pens, as guessing where your finger will touch for small details is such a pain~ Thank goodness for the undo button.

Yep its a wacom bamboo and i feel like its not working correctly since some stokes are just way off from what i was intending and what not. I probably am going to need to re install the driver as well. Only time i tried touch screen was for those guessing sketch games on my phone awhile back and man that made me look like i was awful at drawing(damn those small screens!) :(  But i do want to invest into the wacom boards that are like a screen and you can actually see what ur drawing better. B/c atm im using the Pen tool on Cs5 to do all my outlining and sometimes it just doesn't get the flow of some lines that i want :/ Though i do hear that its easier to draw and color on Paint Tool Sai and ive looked at some videos and it does seem soo much easier. Btw what program do you use?

[Aiwethryne]

SAI~~ <3 I use SAI for everything from coloring to screentoning, but I use GIMP for text and creating derpy emoticon animations. I customized all my keyboard and pen buttons to do what I want them to, so it's really helpful. However, Windows 8 is stupid and messes with my tablet. I could get CS6.49582795623333, but I've been on the 'eh' for years towards PS. I'd LOVE to get Clip Studio Paint, though. At least it would be less embarrassing to ask for than Manga Studio. My family doesn't need to know I draw manga.

I finger digital with short strokes, so it's just a matter of layering. It's pretty much the same as drawing with RMD's Flash tool. Err, in my style of single layer coloring, anyway.
