Upload them on an image-hosting site like photobucket or imageshack. :smallsmile:
Then post the url you get there in [img] tags on this board.

[Gorgon_Heap]

Hurmph. Yeah, I figgured something like than was necessary.

Thanks, Elder. I wouldn't have known what sites to look at.

[Elder Tsofu]

No problems, everyone is new once and don't know where to look. Or so I believe anyway.

I just wanted to draw Disney eyes after watching Tangled.

But one thing led to another and I ended up with this:

I don't even think I got the Disney eye correctly! :smallsigh:

Here ya go, another drawing:

Another thing that might help with the wobbliness of tablet drawing, and is handy for transitioning if you're used to using paper, is to put a piece of paper on top of the tablet. It will give the pen more grip, less wobble and feel more natural and like you're more in control of the drawing.

[Crimmy]

I will upload the original photo I took of the notebook sketch I made before making this,
Even there you will find I have shaky lines, I'm darn sure I have shaky lines there.

But thanks anyway Alarra! I'll be sure to try that out.

Hmm, I don't know about you, but I don't think your case of wobbliness does not interfere much with your style. To me it looks rather nice and more of unique artistic signature which isn't exactly off-putting, especially since the inking is relatively clean.

But if you want, you can still follow Alarra's paper-over-tablet advice, see if it suits you better. ^_^ I used to do it, but the paper whittled down my pen's tip so fast it no longer works after 3 months. :(

[Threeshades]

Heh, guess I do just have to get used to tablet drawing. When I draw with a pencil and paper, I always draw lines relatively slowly, so the sudden presence of the wobble was somewhat of a hard adjustment. I'll keep this tablet for a week or so and switch to a smaller tablet if I still can't draw curves without the tiny wobbles with VisTablet.

More random tablet practice (chibi Fel):

I counteract wobbliness by zooming in to at least 300% when drawing lines. It does a lot. I used to use this A6 tablet, and with enough zoom wobbliness wasn't really an issue. Now i have one that is slightly bigger than A5 and its totally awesome.

[Crimmy]

@yldenfrei: Yeah, I didn't know about paper whittling down the pen's tip. And thanks, but I have to try every single thing possible.

@threeshades: I usually just zoom in to 200%.

[Dispozition]

Like I said, wish my tablet was working so I could. As it stands I can't really colour it since my style relies too heavily on the pressure sensitivity (:

Turns out my tablet was just being temperamental last time I used it...So here's a WIP (:

If anyone's bored and/or looking for inspiration, I'm having a lot of trouble finding any pictures of unicorns with their horns chopped off - specifically good ethereal and evil ethereal and corporeal - if anyone wants to give it a shot.

Probably not quite what you're looking for, but it sprung right to mind the moment I read it.

She, and she has no arms (:
Long story, but the short version is that one of the artists of Katawa Shoujo likes My Little Pony (:

Hey this is a picture of a few charecters that are mostly in my head right now but they are coming on to the paper, slowly.
May screen stretch

It's a bit big, so I'm linking instead of posting it.

This is an experiment of mine. It's made entirely in Inkscape, no raster graphics.

I don't think I shaded it very well. It's my first time, so i'll get better.

EDIT: I was talking with my friend about WoW and I made my old trial account character.

Heheheh :smallbiggrin:

I'm not sure if the sketchyness is working with the picture as a whole. What do ya'll think?

[Ninjaman]

i think it does. It gives it a more chaotic feel.

The people I know personally who can draw usually lack somewhere else. Usually socially. It's sort of like selling your soul to sing the blues.

The thing is... this is not a request thread. Not "formal" at the very least.

[Ghosthawk]

But hey, we have tons of cool stuff to show off. :smallwink: I swear to god if I lose my hands i'll have them tied to my prosthetics so I can beat someone to death with them.

These are pieces I did for my friend's homebrew D&D campaign.

The Auger (http://bmosley45.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d2t8pb7)

The Forge Master (http://bmosley45.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d2t8pjn)

And this is my favorite creation, an orc warrior that I played in one my friends D&D 4ed games, Ghorrokhan Bloodeye, son of Kruul. I briefly drew a webcomic starring him, and to this day, one of my most cherished creations. Orc>Everything Else.

You got a d300s and I got jealous. :smalltongue: Those are some awesome shots can't wait to see more.

Also I was wondering the same thing. This is the lifeblood of the arts and crafts thread.
