A new beginning

 If you guys have been following me for awhile now here or on Twitter, you might know that I am more of a traditional artist and use oil paints (on a canvas) as my main method of painting.

This year, however, I decided to learn digital painting. I figured...why not? I've always loved learning (have always been a nerd), and life is too short not to try, right?

Mainly using Loish's tutorials on Patreon (I just did a blog post on her here), I created my first official digital art using Procreate (on an iPad).

Here's a 30-second time lapse:

Since I've had Photoshop for forever (used it for photography and even took a class on it), I decided it's about time to learn how to use it for art...wut?!?!

Here's my first setup using the Huion Inspiroy drawing tablet (inherited from my middle child):

Here's my setup now, using Wacom One

Using another Loish tutorial on Patreon, here's a water rendering painting I did...not my best but I learned a lot!

Just in case you are interested, my recent video talks in greater details about this:)

Do you do digital painting or have given it a go? What are you interested in learning?
