[QUOTE=gregvizz;26620556]Guys I started drawing about a couple of weeks ago and I wondered if there is a book on like color theory or something like that. Like where should I draw the object for the right balance what colours to use to make it pop out etc. Any recommendations(on both what I just said and basic stuff)?[/QUOTE]
get good at monochrome first. Colour is not that important early into the game.

Ironically, I fell asleep. What you sent was awesome, exactly what I'd expect. Keep that shit up man :respek:
Funny thing is that I'm now heading to sleep
and I just woke up, haha.
TONIGHT THEN.
thankfully my sleep schedule is off so I can at least talk with you at some point during your day. This whole "opposite sides of the planet" thing has some drawbacks :v:
and I am somewhere in the middle hahhaahahhahahaahahahahahhahahahahahaahahahahah
Where's everyone at?
I'm at Pennsylvania, USA
Chicago
Where do you guys find your inspiration to draw/take photos?
If I had any ideas to draw, I would draw them, but I've been really lazy recently because I have nothing to draw. :eng99:

I'm not a photographer :(
but to draw, I just do whatever came to my mind.
If I force myself to pop up with something, it is usually pretty bad lol...

Go for a walk, without a camera, probably start a half hour or even an hour before the sun is supposed to set. Look around, and you'll start noticing that you think to yourself "Man that's cool, I wish I had my camera". Understand that feeling, then go back another day with your camera and wait for the feeling to surface, that you have to take the photo, that something [i]needs[/i] to be captured.
It isn't about "taking pictures", it's capturing a scene, an object, and instance in time.
I get that "man that would make an awesome photo" feeling a lot, and then I forget that my phone has a decent camera in it (obv. not enough for anything serious, but I'm not a photographer).

you can't hold a pen right with a tablet
and it's too thick
i can't wait for them to improve on that shit because it's fucking annoying.
That's why I'm a pencil whore
pencils are fast, light, efficient, and you can do almost anything with them.[/QUOTE]
I can agree with it being thick. Other than that...

And so did you, judging by your reaction.

I guess I was more trying to focus on ideas to [I]draw[/I]. But yeah I do get that feeling a lot. I just need to get a nice camera.
I've been looking through the creative drawings thread and some of them are really great. I want to know how you guys find your inspiration because I just see some great artwork on pieces of paper and I've never done anything like that due to lack of inspiration.

I don't really need inspiration. If I'm out of ideas and I want to draw I just usually start throwng lines on paper and then something comes out of that.

I think you missed my point.
I think tablet is just like a pencil, just thick and digital. To me the only difference is the space I got to work on because I have a tablet the size of two palms.
That image was drawn with a tablet in order to try and make that point clear. I guess I failed.

The difference is is that a pencil is dynamic and light. You can get different textures and lines far easier and quicker. You can also draw more precisely over large areas both by adjusting your grip and because of the traction offered by the paper.
For example, it's easier to draw a large circular object on paper than it is to do so by hand in photoshop.

Just a matter of re-touching stuff in photoshop at times, or in this case patching a few shots together for a nice panorama
Also, in recent news mankind was doomed to extinction when the robot revolt turned violent.
And cherry blossom in japan.

I find my tablet pencil to be just as dynamic as a pencil and light as a normal ink pen with a grip.
I don't really see that much difference in the texture and lines the pencil makes and the tablet makes when it comes to doing it easier. If you want a different texture you'd need to draw on a different type of paper or use a different pencil, if I understand you right (which I probably don't, so please, explain). Which really is the same as switching to a different brush or adjusting the brush settings.
You can adjust a tablet just as well by adjusting your grip as that only changes how your press and where you press, which doesn't make much of a difference if it's digital or traditional. The traction I will however agree with.
It is indeed harder to draw a circle, at least with a small tablet, when you get a good sized one the difference is obviously there, but not as big.

Yeah, only afterwards I realized the damage it caused to my screen.
Oh well, thank God for dual monitors.
I recently connected my other monitor to my lapotop and I don't know what to do for a dual screen setup for photoshop. Ideas?
