– I started doing web comics about eight years ago and my style now is
almost unrecognizable from what it used to be. I drew with a ball point pen on paper, scanned it and it looked like this. Then I started drawing digitally and it changed everything. There’s a ton of options out there and with the right tools anyone can learn how to do digital art. So this is my main set up and this is just a standard, entry
level Wacom bamboo tablet that you just plug into a laptop with a USB cable. And I’ve had this for a few years and it has never given
me any issues considering how badly I treat it. Wacom sells a ton of different models ranging in price but the
new 80 dollar Intuos should have more than enough features for anyone just starting out. I recently got a nine
point seven inch Ipad Pro and Apple pencil. Mainly so I can work while I’m traveling but really I just use it to draw in bed. I do wish I went slightly bigger but it’s not a deal breaker. A lot of artists say that 10.5
inch is like the perfect size ’cause it makes all the
toolbars accessible. But I think this works
just fine for me and also the new 329 dollar Ipad
works with the Apple pencil so it makes portable drawing more affordable than ever. If you don’t want to spend 99 dollars on an apple pencil or you’re
older ipad doesn’t support it keep in mind there are other
stylus options out there. You just have to look for
features like pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, tilt support, maybe some short cut buttons. And this will make the move to digital feel a lot more natural. Let’s take a step back and talk
about the basics of drawing. To draw this bubble head of Will our art director, start
with a rough sketch laying out the proportions
with simple shapes. His head is an oval, his body is more or a rectangular oval and his arms and legs
are like thick noodles. Then I’ll go back and
add details like his eyes connecting the ovals
with more precise lines. Now you can start the inking layer. This is basically going over
the rough sketch in a more precise way and you have to be a little bit more careful here as this is the final version of the drawing that you’ll color in. For me the biggest
advantage of digital art is the ability to work in layers. Think of it like drawing on tracing paper. Layer allow you to stack the many parts of your image on different levels to form the whole drawing
which makes editing the final image easier. So once I have the full
outline of what I’m drawing, I just fill in the colors
on another layer underneath and for shading I’ll
add a layer over that. Shading can be daunting but
it’s pretty easy if you think about light in the physical world. First decide where your light source’s coming from and use that as
your guide to determine which parts are the shadows and which parts will be the highlights. So for the shadows I take a black brush which allordo passe to darken one side of the drawing and
highlight the other side in white where the light
is hitting the subject. The end result is this
lovely drawing of Will drawn in four separate layers. If you’re concerned about how drawing on glass might affect you, you can always look into
matte screen protectors that will mimic the feeling
of drawing on paper. I tried one out from a
company called Paper Like and it really helped bring
some resistance to drawing on the ipad. So once you have
all your tools we’re gonna move on to software. On my MacBook I like to use software like Adobe Photoshop but on the ipad I use Clip Studio Paint because
it’s most like a desktop app. There’s all these other drawing apps on the ipad like Procreate or Adobe Draw but these apps kind of
have a learning curve because you have to learn
each app’s gesture controls like double tapping to undo. If you’re not happy with any of these apps there’s
always other options. There’s software like
Astropad or Duet Display that lets you connect your ipad to a computer so you can use it as a second display. And if you’re in the market for a new laptop altogether there’s always two in one devices like
the Microsoft Surface Pro so everything’s on there. You can use the desk
top version of Photoshop and there’s no transferring of files like you would have with an ipad. Since I’m most comfortable
with the Macos interface, using a Wacom tablet
just make sense for me. If you’re in a position
where you’re trying to decide what’s best for you. Think more about the apps you want to use and for what purpose. But ultimately, making art is a personal experience so play around and find
your favorite options. Thanks for watching, this is from my new series work flow and for more tips on how to incorporate tech into your life check out Youtube.com/the verge.
What are your favorite tablets and programs to use? – Dami Lee
I love youuuuuuuuuu 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
why they never say ibis paint x ;3;
those bubbles giving me anxiety
2019😑
What app do you use
Oop i saw a sneak of pocket camp in there. It has no relation whatsoever but I thought I would point it out
Her: has a laptop, apple pen, tablet, and a standard Wacom bamboo tablet
Me: holding a stylist from Walmart and a tablet in my lap
If you're a broke artist like me and can't afford wacom, get a huion. Its cheaper. I got myself a h610 huion because the smallest wacom was more expensive than a medium sized huion, and I didn't want to get frustrated with a small tablet.
Never had problem using huion.
I bought a tablet in order to save money in the long term but i don't quite know how to use it.
LOVE THE THUMBNAIL!
Procreate is another great App to get started with Digital Art!
BOOTIFUL
You have to pay for clip studio that's why I use ibispaint
Thank you for mentioning that the 9.7 isn't a deal breaker ❤️ I got into drawing/procreate after I purchased my ipad for college note-taking. I didn't know I'd need or want a bigger one at the time, and I still think I've managed to draw beautifully on a smaller pro. You just have to move your canvas around more!
I’ve been painting using pencil and “real” colors all my life. I think nowadays it’s essential to incorporate digital art. Im so scared never tried it before and i havent studied it. Feeling a bit scared of trying it. But let’s see
What app
2:53 paper-like screen protector is better
Are we gonna talk about guy fieri's target shopping list?
Cool a simple way to know where to add shade. What if i also have houses and trees do I use the same technique? Pls I need to know 🙏
A CHEAPER OPTION FOR APPLE PENCIL:
2gen point elv stylus
Free PROCREATE option:
IBISPAINT x

Do web toon creators major in something specific? Graphic Design? Art? Animation? Illustrator? I'm curious.
Why does every sentence? At the start of the video? Sound like a question? What happened to? talking normally?
Does anyone know tablets I can draw directly on under 100 bucks
I just have a 4GB RAM windows laptop.I dont think Photoshop runs well.Can you suggest a way i can start with digital art?
I have procreate that’s about it
Great Video!Thanks!!
i think the new wacom ctl 6100 medium is the best atm, bluetooth, plus it gives u free clip paint studio
I love adobe draw
Also, use a dark red for outlines. It looks nice and also stands out.
Thanks.

What app is she using? What is a good app to use if you don't know what app it is? Btw it doesn't have to be free and I want to be a digital artist.
When your broke to afford those things.

Hello! I’m a nine year old and I also do digital art! I haven’t posted them on YT yet though! Thank you so much for this tutorial! 🤗
Here in the Philippines to buy a pen for phones and ipads it's just 20 pesos it's just cheap😄
I have like $420 dollars to start off with lol
I heard many good things about Original Box CHUWI Hi10 Air 64GB Intel T3 Z8350 Quad Core 10,1 Zoll Windows 10 Tablet
$179.99 + US$19.56 original stylus.
What do you think?
What app do u use??
What app I s that
I can’t pay for art classes and I don’t know how to teach myself.
I’m 22. Too old to make a career out of it.
i use a chromebook w touchscreen, and ibis paint x, i can draw amazing with that already,m not proffesional or anything, but just some drawings i like to make, i use it for 2 months so uhm yeah im not that good, but im decent so uhm yea, i only need a stylus , but i will make one so yea.. 😀
While watching this, I got an update from Webtoon.
I made a you tube video. Would you like to see it?
the fact that this is the first time i'm seeing someone else use clip studio over procreate shows just how underrated this program really is
App?
i just came to watch dami
Gonna save up for an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil. Might take a long time but I know it'll be worthwhile. I've got a Huion drawing tablet in the meantime. You always have to practice.
This is so helpful! Im excited for my future!
Hahahaha.
Im broke.
I’m to broke to buy a laptop or iPad
I don’t know why but I thought “started” on the title said arrested-
