I do hope you'll help me on this.


Recently, I've decided that with my Wacom Intuos that I have, I simply just cannot bring myself to train myself to get used to it. I'm going to get some slack for not devoting enough time to it, but it's the truth. I just can't do it.

To make matters worse, I have two Macs (one desktop and one monitor) specifically to do digital art. Now, I have thought about getting a Wacom Cintiq, but it requires a HDMI port, which my Macs do not have. The solution I have to that is to buy a MacBook that has a HDMI port so that I can use the Cintiq.

I have also thought about getting Procreate since I own a 6th generation iPad. It would mean getting an Apple Pencil though.


The thing is, I don't know what option to go for. I'd love to go for the MacBook option since it means I can use the bundled software that came with my Intuos, but I have heard that MacBooks are expensive. On the other hand, if I go for the Procreate option, I'll have to figure out how to unregister the Intuos and the art software it came with it. Plus, I don't know how deep the learning curve in Procreate is.


What do you guys think? Is it worth getting a MacBook despite the price? Or should I stick to Procrate? If you prefer a poll for this, let me know.

As for this Ecplise thing, no, I'm not leaving, but I don't know how active I'll be when it arrives. I'm aware that some are saying they're leave when it arrives, and in case you are one of them, here's where you can follow me should that be the case:

...one of my colour-ins got deleted. Yes, I know that other artists went though this worse (my condolences to you), but I'm just surprised it took this long for it to happen to me.

In any case, if the rest do get deleted, you can always see them at my Pixiv, which is where all my NSFW (aka 18+) work will go. If you want the link, note me.

And while I'm on the subject of other accounts, I'm also on Twitter. However, I must warn you that even though I will (re)tweet art-related stuff, I (re)tweet stuff that is not related to art-related, including anti-Trump stuff. Again, if you want the link, note me.

One more thing... should I bother with a dispute or not?

EDIT - Okay, another 5 is gone. Well, I'm gonna play it safe here, but since I don't know if a certain number of works removed are needed for an account to be deactivated/banned, I'm gonna put up links where you can find me should the worst case scenario ever happen!

I apologise if I've already made a journal about this, but since I'm getting very close to getting my new iMac set up (I have it, but we're reorganising the entire office room before setting it up), I hope to get some help here. I posted this on Reddit (and got some answers, but I need more), so I'll quote it here:

I've been wanting to learn to draw for some time now, and while I have NOTHING against traditional art, my autism has led me to being good at computers, and so I feel that learning to draw with a graphics tablet would be best for me. However, if learning to draw via pencil and paper is the only way to learn before I can do digital art, I'm more than willing to go that route. Is learning to draw traditionally required before learning to draw on a graphics tablet? Or can I go straight to the graphics tablet and learn to draw from there?
