So I have my amazing new graphics tablet (there was an embarrassing moment where I couldn't get it to work for about 3 hours then realized I never put a battery in the pen) and have been playing around with it in a couple different painting programs. Overall I have been semi-successful. Drawing with a graphics tablet still feels a bit like using my left hand to draw but I'm improving slowly, but surely. I've been exclusively traditional media for so long - learning digital media is a bit of a hurdle. But I want to learn it!
I'm using Paint Tool SAI and Krita on my personal PC because they're both FAR less expensive than Adobe CC or Corel. Krita is a free, open-source software and is actually my favorite of the two. I just got used to Photoshop so this is like learning to draw all over again. Progress is slow, but I'm working on it. I hope to share even better results with you as time goes by :)
