So I got a Bamboo Fun tablet about a year ago. I tried it so many times, but I was always so frustrated. D:<
I was wondering what program should I use?
So what I do, like most, is draw it on paper then scan it to my computer--despite my horrible scanner--and color it. But they are ugly. D:
How do I add shading and stuff like all those awesome artists of Rescreatu?
 
Thanks for reading. <3

A tablet is hard to get used too. And the thing about a tablet is that it's the same as any other drawing/painting tool, you just avoid the mess and can do it anywhere (well, anywhere you have a computer). So technically, you have to already have the ability to paint/have practiced a lot with it. Having it doesn't mean you'll be able to magically be able to do what every other artist does.

And I've realized that it is really hard to "teach" someone how to use a tablet/paint good... because really, it's just lots of practice. So, I would advise looking up a few tutorials on how you want to paint. For example, if you like the way Rescreatu artists paint you should look up "cell shading" since that is the style they use.

Hmm. :P It's a bit confusing. And I have photoshop elements that came with my tablet, does it work the same?

I use photoshop (CS3). I've been a fan of that program since I was 10 and tried several others but I don't really like them xD

Xee taught me how to colour and shade the res style, but it's pretty hard to explain. I haven't done that style in nearly a year furthermore (yeah, I'm more comfortable in my style own style, I dun really like cell shading). I suggest you should just develop your own style of rendering rather than copying someone elses. It's funner that way ;D




I (HATE)' YOU

Feel the love man D:<

Thanks Ping. ;3 I'll check that out.
It's so hard to get the coloring right, but I'll just keep practicing. I'll hopefully have an art commissions thread one day. <3
