Don't feed me that. A lot of (if not all of) professional artists will also immediately follow up with "But it's just my opinion. There is no right or wrong method to drawing".

Jeez no one's saying that you'll suck at drawing if you start digitally. It's just the traditional way to do things. In Zang's case it would be helpful.

How do you know that? It's not up to you. It's up to whatever Zang feels comfortable with.

Don't stop being massive faggots now, this is getting fun.

I tried not lifting my hand like starseed said

Much better. Do it like that from now on.

Holy shit, the improvement already is amazing! Just keep drawing like that and you'll have much better luck with your drawings!

I'm glad my advice helped!

zang leveled up

+2 to lines

Honestly that is a lot better than before. There are no extra lines jutting out from the character.

If you're not comfortable with a line you drew, you can always just ctrl+Z it, too.

I agree with this statement but we're only suggesting that as there usually is a more connected feeling with a pencil and something you're drawing on that you can actually rest your hand on rather than a screen. We're telling him to at least TRY this method out if he's interested in different ways to improve.

Really Decker, was there any reason to show so much hostility in your post when you disagreed with what we said? You could have said it in a much more civilized manner instead telling us to shut up and calling us ignorant AND saying we know nothing about it. That's really the only reason why I was rustled at what you had to say.

Calm down and don't get all defensive like that just because you prefer digital over traditional. I personally don't prefer either over each other because I work well with both mediums and I like them.

And Zang, that's looking better. Good job so far.

I can't quote this enough.

I've ctrl+Z-ed whilst inking so many times that when I press them on my keyboard, they click

I'm sorry for taking it so personally but uh, if you actually read some of the posts?

They were kind of ripping on people who start digitally. I got offended.

Here's my favourite!
