I need some good tips on how to use a digital tablet
-
Iβve just gotten one 2 days ago, and itβs been a doozy trying to draw with it. Any artist here got any tips or anything that might help?
-
@Petrol-Consumer what kind of tablet? Like one of the ones you can see the screen on, or like one that connects to your computer/wtv and you control through the pad? (Words are hard I apologize.)
-
@Your-Local-Shadow-Simp The ones that connect to the computer
-
@Your-Local-Shadow-Simp It also has a little screen so I can see where I am drawin.
-
@Petrol-Consumer ooh okay, so I recommend calibrating it if you can, and like testing that everything is accurate.
I also recommend not thinking of it like a tablet (especially if youβre more used to traditional art) and think of it more like a pad of paper on a stand (if it has one) that way you can move more like you would on paper, rather than going sort of blank on a tablet.
^ (This is what I did when I had to make a digital fake cell in biology on my momβs tablet.) (It makes sense in my head, but the words arenβt wording very well right now.) ^

Iβm also not super familiar with tablets, but if it has pressure sensitivity, adjust it so that itβs to what feels comfortable. (Again, if you like how pens/pencils/markers/wtv feel, adjust it so that it kind of works like that.)
It really is a sort of trial-and-error thing, but it can help.

@Your-Local-Shadow-Simp I would need some help with calibration :'3
-
@Petrol-Consumer I would check like the manual to see if thereβs a specific way to calibrate it- Iβm actually not sure how to calibrate one, and it probably differs from tablet to tablet- :'>
-
@Your-Local-Shadow-Simp Ah tis time to google then :'))
-
@Petrol-Consumer Google is your friend
-
@Your-Local-Shadow-Simp You could say Iβm a 3rd party thinker :'I
-
@Petrol-Consumer sigh π
