Why did you buy a tablet before you know how to even draw? that's like buying flash before knowing anything about programming, or animating.

Draw a flying hippo! =D

How can you learn something without having the essential tools? Try practicing flash without using flash. Wacom Tablet does not equal pencil and paper (shading and coloring must be done differently), so don't go trying to argue about that.

Oh, and try to draw a chicken in gentlemen's apparel, captainmustard.

Draw whatever man. Everything needs to come from your Noggin.

And only yours to make your work mean something.

I agree with this request, also.. make it late 1940's gentleman's apparel.

Thanks.

Simplicity is the game my sir. Try drawing circles, boxes, triangles, then move on to 3D objects. After that try drawing strait lines, it helps.

you got a point there, I really don't know shit about tablets anyway, lol

Draw a crying clown astronaut pirate, wearing a sombrero? I'd pay money for something like that :D

[ScorpionReturn5]

Anything that'll help you man.

its impossible to draw badly in flash with it on.

I diddn't buy the wacom

My step-dad gave it to me today while he was cleaning out our back room.
It was still in it's original box, completely unopened. He told me that someone ordered it and had it delivered, but then they never picked it up, so he got it for free.

It's an "ArtZ II"

I also got a surround sound system, audio equipment, a high-def VCR and some other electronics.

Are you actually going to draw any of the suggestions, or brag about your fascinating technology?

Try and copy this, look at it while ya draw it, it will help you with perspective early on [ im not great at drawing, but, i draw ] uhh, start with rough, light shapes, most things you draw will triangles, squares, and circles in them

[ for instance to draw a horse, draw a rectangle, then a triangle from the corner for the neck, then a triangle pointing down from the neck, then you make the actual curves and features and shit, then make that darker, and then add details, shading, hair, etc. ]

so do that, draw it really really rough a few times, like, dont even try, just sketch,then, when ya kinda getting the perspective, do it for real, with the method above

[pikmints]

simple, draw an anime style scene. They have lots of details and would require some time, but you definately would understand detail.

yeah, stick with it and you'll get good, i think the trick is, play alot, if ya work on a piece and its good, and you feel like adding something, but dont want to fuck up a good thing, thats natural, but you have to just do it, just like with films, you can try and make it exactly how you want it, but it is what it is, and it becomes its own thing, almost entirely independent of you, just, draw, simple.

look up some tutorials online, they will give perspective, shading, basic outlines, etc.

took a bit more time on this one waiting for the 30 minute 4 post lockdown thingy to pass

[captainmustard]

the other picture is showing up now so i guess there was no point in scribbling over the text

does anyone know why that's happening? sometimes i load the page and some of the images are just replaced with the title of the thread. what gives?
