That looks like it was done with a tablet.. I can't really do any paint style coloring without a tablet, huh?


EDIT: Actually, it worries me because I draw with left but mouse with my right. Should I practice mousing with my left?

LOL I have the same problem i left handed but I use the mouse on the right. If i were you id just call some local art shoppes like art stores, art firms, studios see if they have any old tablets they would be willing to sell sometimes this works qand you may get a hugeass tablet for a small price. Or you can even try to get someone to sponsor you just say youre a student or something..

with the mouse and your right hand youll never be as sharp as ou could be..

Yeah I guess you're right.. Also with a tablet I could draw directly onto the computer.

Ya its like having a peice of paper you write on but its the comp screen. just if you buy a used tablet watch out for scratches/dinks these can adhere performance

tablets are a must, imho digital work is becoming very popular and why not use the tools if theyre there for you theres nothing that could go bad exploring diff mediums.. you get my drift?

also if you dont have alot of practice with traditional mediums ie.. pastels, pencisl, charcoals then it mightnot be a good idea to go the tablet route. just get about 5 dollars buy a mechanical .3mm pencil then a .9mm mech pencil leds for both a staedler eraser crappy sketchbook and get lost in the world of drwing then after you get used to those mediums and exploring how to render things move on to painting and study color theory...
