[art] Eki's first drawing tablet sketch
My brother borrowed his friend's Wacom Intuos drawing tablet, and i tried it out.

that's not hair, she's wearing a cap

Macromedia Flash Pro. Very nice brush. Mainly used for animations, famous for Hyun's league of legends stickman highlights.

the entire face looks kinda wide and flat and the proportions are a bit weird, otherwise there's too little details for me to nitpick more
I'd like to see you animate something. and what smoothing did you use?

not sure why most people are blindly praising it when it obviously has issues which you could hint upon how to improve.
first things first, the cap looks bad and I see what you were trying to do with it, but, in the end it looks like hitler gelled his hair because of the poor use of brushstrokes. next time make the strokes more even so it fits the shape of the hat and so that some sort of depth is there.
the background is shit, I think you know how to improve on that.
the eyes are okay I guess, you need to use reference to see the proportions and the details etc, but, I quite like what you did with the pupils.
the upper lip of the mouth needs to be smaller, again, look at a reference for generic proportions.
eyebrows are simple, but well done.
I like the way you tackled the nose, although as bloom highlighted above, the nostrils are a wee bit large, but the way you switched between line size and gaps gave it a sense of contrast even if its slight.

yeah so if you start art, you're not going to pull perfect ideas out of your ass, especially when in comes to portraits, so use reference before you draw with your imagination.
[19:59] <Lazors> man it's a good thing people don't see what i write here
it is a nice start, You will get used to the tablet if you draw more.
to start criticising,
proportions are off.
I wanted to see a reference, if there isnt one,
you did fine but the strokes are so well thought,
you could draw the edges, contours and the shadows, in this you just did random strokes.

it is a good start and better than my first sketch with my pen tablet, keep drawing and you will get good.
Eki,make better ones. You're throwing what you have way off.
Lol jk,keep it up,more practice means more experience and better results.
Personally I like it, I think it came out well.
In the same token you could easily add a lot more detail without random
squiggles for hair and with a bit more shading.

Also, I'd love to see if you could potentially make a few textures with the tablet or not!
