Okay this is really starting to annoy me.

Does anyone know any good ways of coloring and outlining with drawing tablets?


I am currently using the Airbrush tool to sketch the subject, a pen tool to outline.

Need a better way, things I make this way aren't turning out too well... o.o

Here's my que, I'm rather slow with this type of thing. So I will try to be sure they are all done by the end of September. Ermine knows xD (Also, they will be done in the order I am properly inspired, not in the order you posted. Sorry, just makes them look slightly better when completed.)

Believe that is everyone! Anyways, heading to bed, night y'all.

I am currently using Gimp 2. Does anyone have any tools, techniques, or different programs they can recommend? Thanks guys, I'm new to this.

Life is getting better for me.

I set a new PR at a cross country meet yesterday. My new personal record in the 5K is 19:17(Old PR: 19:40)
My old time on this course was like a 21:47. I also received an 11th place medal! (With a broken wrist!!!!) Summer training really payed off. Our guy's team took second at the meet.

I had a pretty important Algebra 2 test yesterday, that I was depending on for my grades. Studied a bit. I had been receiving about 86% on the majority of my assignments, and got a 100% on my test. Super happy about that!

Now, back to art, my drawing tablet came in yesterday(the $42 USD Monoprice one), and I love it!!! (Except the annoying factor that the buttons are on the left! [I'm left handed]). It is really pretty cool.

So yah, I guess you could say yesterday was a pretty amazing day for me.

Also want to say thanks to my watchers for staying with me through my truly pathetic art! I will probably begin actually doing requests soon on the drawing tablet, (ZIGGY I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN... Just having difficulties with figuring out how to do that one!)

Also, may also do stories soon. :

Okay, so I think I have decided to buy a cheap $40-$60 drawing tablet for now, until I save up to buy a $700 one. Is this a good idea or no?

Whelp, I broke my wrist guys. Gonna still try to draw though..... I feel so pathetic...

So much for uploading one thing a day. Sorry guys, got swamped.

Well, school is back. Think I may be able to get myself into a drawing class so I can draw a bit more, although it probably won't be something I want to draw lol. Anyways, will give me more time to practice that way.

The real reason behind this note is to say that after today I'm gonna try to at least upload 1 sketch a day, but there only gonna be sketches.

Now of course, I can sketch your character if you like. DM me if you want me to, or comment here. I may not do it, and if I don't I'm sorry. But if you would like me to, go ahead and comment. give me more inspiration lol.

Anyways, peace out guys!

Well I am back from Disneyworld, and properly inspired to get drawing again!

By the way, can anyone explain to me how art trades work? Thanks!

Guess who's back guys? Aiko! I'm back, and ready to draw a lot :D I have decided to make a sketchbook devoted to Poochyena primarily. (With a few oddball sketches) Hopefully, once I finish that, I'll be a bit better at drawing Poochyena! Anyways, I'm tired as heck. Good night fellows.

Guys, I just got an amazing idea. I mean, it will take a lot of work, but I think it'd be cool if I were to draw a bunch of Pokemon as..... As.... Pizza makers! (Because that's what my job is xD)


My muse is just flooding now. Can't wait to get back from this trip I haven't even gone on yet...

I will be gone for a week, sorry yall! During this week I will try to draw Poochyena's as often as I can :3 , because when I get back I have this awesome idea for a Poochyena drawing. Although I have a feeling it will be hard for me and take a while, I think I may be able to do it.


Anyways, so won't be posting anything for the next week starting tomorrow. Sorry bout' that, I would much rather be here! :(
