Hi Elena, I’m so glad you are talking about this art themes and It’s a great introduction to know this information. I have been doing art since 2020 and what I struggle the most is that I overthink the things that I want to create and end up frustrated with the results. Do you have any advice when it comes to improving your art without beating yourself up?

Hallo my daughter in law, a really great video clip. You can be proud about it.

[xplained]

I am really baffled that this is your first video ever, it is already soo good. Please keep up the great work, I can't wait for the next one 😍

12, 9" iPad Pro and Procreate is by far the most satisfying experience. So much smoother than working on a pen display connected to your laptop. If you're on a tight budget, make sure to buy an older used iPad Pro. Everything from 2018 version works great. 128-256 GB space should be enough for most cases.

I've been doing research since I am interested in Digital Art. I'm used to just painting/drawing/doing small cardboard builds. Thankbyou SO MUCH! I had NO IDEA where to start for a program to use.

You're terrific! I nearly wasted a lot of money on a new tablet until you made me think of my phone & for my art the phone is fine. Have a cracking 2024 God bless & all the best!

Thank you for putting this video up, i tried 3 years ago on those cheaper ones that you cant see your lines, assumed it was me being a techno failure. So thanks to your video ive now downloaded sketchpad on my mobile: so fun and easy ❤

I personally have used a Fujitsu stylistic q704 for years as a sketching tablet. It's a tablet that has a couple of different optional keyboard docks. One that's just a keyboard, and one that has a bunch of ports and is also an expanded battery. It uses a wacom EMR digitizer as well as a touch screen. They are not the fastest computers ever that is true. But it's plenty enough to run something like a windows 11 lite or Ghost Spectre install and a handful of useful apps for graphics design an or photo manipulation.

For not so heavy industrial art or animation, i recommend the Samsung Galaxy tab S series, and they come with their own stylus and are equally as powerful as the iPads

Krita, Autodesk, ibis paint, infinite painter, Clip studio paint for Digital Drawings and Paintings

Flipa Clip, Clip studio paint, Krita, Rough Animator for animations

Kine master, Capcut, Power director, for video editing.

And you can get almost all these apps for free. There are many more options out there, but these are the ones i use

Just what I needed, thank you!

Also, really professional work for your first video, keep it up 🙂

[finnthehuman]

I'm just getting into digital art. I have watched quite a few videos on the subject the last few months and I have to say your video is one of my favorites. Your editing and delivery are great. Then I find out that this is your first video...wow. Now I just need an Ipad Pro, and then I will be unstoppable. Dang, but now I also want a German with an adorable accent.

My first digital art (other than gimp photo edits in 2008) was on my iPhone 6 with one of those pens that have a rubber stylus tip on the end! I used procreate pocket and with those brushes was getting compliments on my line work

I use the Samsung tab S7 to do my digital art painting, it works well for me, portable and I can take it anywhere I go.

[deanwilliams]

One nice thing about the recent Samsung S series phones is the stylus. It makes on the go sketching fun.

Thank you! I do wonder if some new artists might really benefit from drawing on paper with a pencil, then scanning or photographing their work, then digitally drawing over their work on a new layer in their art application. I spent a lot of time doing that and it really helped the transition from physical to digital artwork.

Thank you for sharing❤. This was very helpful. My husband has been an illustrator for more than 11 years. He used a tablet connected to his pc before. He suffered a massive stroke last year and is paralyzed on his left side. I want to get him to start creating again but he needs something more portable. Wasn't sure what to get him but now i think iPad pro would be the best option.

krita is available on android as well ... pretty much 1:1 to desktop version.

[amandaray_art]

Wow, really impressed with your video quality and editing. So good!! Not to mention so much useful information! Wishing you all the YouTube success and can’t wait to see your future videos ❤️❤️

[carlamaenaz]

could you please do a tour of your workspace/ apartment?? it looks so nice just from the glimpses we get!

Been practicing digital art for almost 20 years now. First on a pc running Photo Impact (with only a mouse at my disposal), then I turned Photoshop with a Wacom (bamboo, later intuos pro) tablet. I am really curious how a tablet would work out, but also a bit frightened that I lost some of my skills (the last years I only painted when designing my kids birth announcements).. Really nice of you to share some of your experiences in this field🙏🏻 I will look into it📱🖋️
