while a graphic tablet offer more flexibility, it's better to get a good grasp of traditional techniques before moving/applying them to the digital realm of things
@Memor-X you're thinking of a light box
a Cintiq is like that in a sense, but is very expensive unless you do professional 3d modeling or illustration
@LucasHenrique essentially what I'm trying to say is you're lacking in technique. You're not quite used to wielding the pen, so you proficiency with the item is a bit low.
I suggest trying to do some sketching on paper to get used to doing different strokes and weights. while not equal traditional techniques often times transfer over to the digital realm of things
sketch design is technically part of graphic design, but most people don't like to bother with the foundations, they're just concerned with the end result
@ton.yeung Sketching is a great tool for communicating with clients. it allows ppl to share an idea and talk it through at a purer, more conceptual level without getting bogged down in the detail or specifics inherent with a computer generated image
In any case, I think very few SO users make a living doing visual arts on traditional media, and it's very hard (and often very bad) to build a site just for hobbyists.
So the point stands that you can't really create a fine arts site without bringing new people in, and Area 51 is generally terrible for that.
Yes, it's rare, but if the site is going to exist at all, those are the most important people to have there.
localization Rodea the Sky Soldier - Limited Edition is now available for pre-order on NISA's European store. just looking at the screenshots it kinda reminds me of Gravity Rush
localization it appears Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed is going to be digital only for Europe while those lucky ass yanks get to have a physical copy. dam you. also Rodea the Sky Soldier - Limited Edition will be on the European NISA Store on the 21st. for me that's tomorrow......though then it could be based on from GMT+0 which means i'm going to have to wait till about 7-9 PM for it to actually show up
