Watercolor: Time Lapse #1 “Papaya”
Though I am somehow spending time learning Digital Art, I still have a schedule for my other fave medium. I’m still practicing watercolor, and learning techniques from artists I follow, and hopefully, I may carve my own style. Oh well. 🙂
Here’s the “rotten papaya”.

Digital Art: My Second Artwork with Medibang Paint
So it’s day 5, and I was exploring with different programs. But medibang paint program caught my attention with its views, available tutorials, and it’s free.
yes, and I loved it so far, hence…
I must decide between orange and pink though.
Let’s see what else I can do. I will use this tool to practice, then I may proceed with other programs. Wish me luck!

Digital Art: Searching and I think I found it.
So I can say, officially, days had passed with my “serious” quest to learn digital art. Day 2, I was looking for program/s to use, and Day 3, the search continues…
But I found Medibang Paint Pro as a free tool, and it has good reviews from beginners and even professional artists, so I jumped in… and oh’ boy, Day 4, I think this is the one for me…
TADDAAHHH!! this is my first-ever ‘serious’ work with Medibang Paint + Graphics Tablet. Whew! I’m quite satisfied with this, yet I need some more practice. I’m extremely excited to learn more.
What do you think?

Digital Art: What program to use?
As a newbie, transitioning to traditional to digital art can be overwhelming! Deciding to enhance my skill in this medium, I came across a lot of inspirations and masters (some I follow in WordPress). Since I now have a graphics tablet, the next step is to find a suitable program. Here are some of the common recommendations from artists:

I stumbled upon Autodesk Sketchbook (which is not on the list, yes), and this was recommended by an artist I follow for beginners since this is a free tool to practice with. Oh yeah, I need some practice indeed! : )
So funny … but I definitely enjoy these baby steps. I’m hella excited for all the things I have to learn so I can do those wow-worthy digital paintings. Whew! For now…
My first work with Sketchbook! ha-ha. It’s nice to document development.
The girl was me, I think (the smiley face rather).

Digital Art: My First Try with a Graphics Tablet
It has been a dream/goal of mine to purchase a tablet since I learned about digital painting/graphics design/CAD, but for some reasons, it’s postponed, put on hold or forgotten — perhaps because I’m old school and stuck with my pencils and crayons… and scratch papers.
TADDAAH! I present to you… the girl on a yellow dress!
This is my first try, and it’s with PAINT (is this worth a LOL?). I’m still kind of navigating the Adobe software, for now, I have to practice what I can, but I’m enjoying the journey, hence reworking on old pieces.
See you soon!

Re-working some of my old drawings in color with ink.
I love drawing food because I love to eat, but I don’t know why I sketch vegetables here since I don’t eat veggies. I’d just go for the bread.
