Help!!! Tips for drawing digitally? Every time I draw digitally it gets and wiggily and lop sided :(
I'm SO sorry about the delay in replying to this!
I guess my main tips for avoiding wiggly lopsidedness in digital art would be to:
- flip your canvas regularly so you can see the art with "fresh" eyes, allowing you to spot any weird and wobbly bits more easily
- use a line stabilizer (also called smoothing in some programs) if you don't have a steady hand. There's no shame in using the tools available to you if it makes creating more enjoyable and the outcome more pleasing to you!
- if you're in the habit of using small, choppy strokes with your pen, try zooming out a bit and using longer, smooth strokes instead (and keep one hand on the undo shortcut so you can draw > undo > draw until you hit just the right line)
- if you're really struggling with a piece, or are super unhappy but don't know how to proceed, take a break for a day or three and come back to it. It probably isn't as wonky as you've convinced yourself it is!
I hope that helps a little. I'm no master artist by any stretch of the imagination, and I draw a LOT of wobbly, lopsided drawings. Most of my pieces start out totally wonky, if I'm honest! But the process of ironing out all of that to get to a finished piece that I'm happy with, aesthetically speaking, is often more satisfying than the finished piece itself.
We're all a little wiggly and lopsided here...and there ain't no shame in that :D
