@Wildfire: It's my goal. Because before i either had to choose new tablet or laptop.
But since im not at the stage to make a lot of money or much it might take me a long time to get a new computer.

Tho one of my friends tipped my stream to help towards the goal so that was nice.
But i feel the tablet upgrade will help me advance in my skills limitless so then i can do more things and work on getting a client list
for commissions.

but for now my goal is to just focus on my skills.
I joined a new art app and it helps me see how i can change up my work.

Since My tablet will be arriving eventually[still unsure when maybe within this week or next depending on weather conditions]
I figured it would give me a good opportunity to practice
with it and get used to it while drawing freebs as it's been a pretty long time since I've done so and i've closed my shop
so that i can just focus on having fun with my artwork.

Not sure how many freebs will be given out or what they will look like completely.
Maybe something like this.


Please do not ask me personally to draw you. I usually choose who i want to draw at random.
Whenever I get a good idea/like someone's avatar in my thread.

Keep in mind, I don't have a high amount of energy to draw everyone. I apologize in advance.

Update 4/25/21: Received my tablet on Friday the 23rd, so i am officially now working on the freebie arts!

@Wildfire: yup. so hoping i can use at least one other one to just stream better with.
but probably not cause my laptop always hates me LOL.

@Purpsy: Most tablets and programs you can change
both to how you like it.
For me i mainly have my shortcuts as zoom in and out, and flipping the canvases.
There are tutorials on youtube like beginner guides on how to use krita.
that might be useful for you.

I use krita sometimes tho i need to change eyedropper tool and some other shortcuts on it.

I only am pro with the non-screen tablets.
Display screen tablets however is a whole new ball park for me.

@Purpsy: true. hoping i can focus enough to work on some studies lol.
i have a lot to study.
but i have a piece or two that are finished or just about finished.

sometimes you have to get to know the tablet and programs
before hand.
i adjusted pretty easily because i just don't really like to do traditional art
and used tablets for past...10 years. so just doing doodles and playing with the settings and how you like things
helps a lot.

@Purpsy: Me too. I could only get my tablet if it was on sale
and i had been waiting weeks and then it went on sale yesterday LOL.

its a bit eh. Just noticed a lot of things I do frequently.
so I want to change it up. Been slacking on my studies a lot since there isn't much
my tablet can do that i want to do which is painting lol.

so I've just been working through my old art file and finishing off my old art from 2020.

@Purpsy: I recommend XP pen brand the most because in the past 2 months they've had
3 sales. So XP pen tablets go on sale very often.

sometimes it means your body just needs more rest.

@Purpsy: the model im getting is sorta old. I think it's from 2018.
i just looked for what i felt interested me and what i found would be the most useful
in my daily life for art.

Wacom tends to break the bank even with small tablets.
The brand I went with was XP pen. it's much more affordable.

i only napped once. i try not to otherwise i can't sleep later.
insomnia could cause you to not feel rested so then you have to nap.

hoping it arrives sometime within the week.

@Purpsy: Yup! time to upgrade.
Have had my current drawing tablet for 3 years now and it's been a struggle since
it takes a long time to charge.
So i upgraded to something that won't need to be charged. And a lot more pen pressure and I am so pumped!

i didn't think it would ship till monday but my dad said it was shipped today.

Lol i know how that is. Last week i was so mentally exhausted i passed out for a whole hour while my sis
was making dinner and woke up so dazed lol.
just means your body needed the rest.

@Wildfire: i think my main objective when i first get it, is to test it in Krita.
I have 3 programs i like to use because the brushes are nice but i can't find anything like it for my main program Clip Studio paint.
and want to see if i can use a specific program for my streams as the main program lags my streams, freezes and crashes.

It went a lot better. She was not in pain luckily. She got emotional a few times but it was very short lived luckily.
But it went pretty good.

@Purpsy: Yeah doing a lot better.
i finished a commission yesterday, got tipped and now got a tablet on it's way.
