Hello everybody!

As everyone seen, i am traditional artist, I've been trying to persuade myself that I'll be one till the end of my life xD (silly huh?). I mean, I'm more like 'I'll gonna work only with real life mediums and all similiar shit' xD. And....BAM I've got a chance to draw digitally omg! :la:

The summer already got in the halfway, but experiences only got started xD. I'm extremely happy to say that my FerretXing been staying in my place! *dem feelingzzzz nnnn x3* We haven't seen each other for a year and finally been together these past two weeks :3
Well...i can't say it was an adventure time xD but there were some new things to discover LOL. So firstly I must thank him for bringing up his Kanvus tablet. I've never drawn with tablet so it was quite big expreience for me, really!

Since I got to know what means traditional and digital drawing I can compare those.
First of, digital drawing requires the habit with tablet. It was really hard for me to draw straight and correct lines as wanted. With this first drawing Digital Luka by Drerika I felt like... I lost my drawing skills XD It nervioused me for a while, but in the end I got used to it and it got quite good, having in mind that I been drawing with tablet only for ~4 days or so.
Secondly, I didn't knew digital drawing takes much more time to finish than traditional pieces. Believe me! While linearting digitally, I can say, I may be already started coloring in traditional xD Goddamn, I'm in inpatient with drawing stuff and tend to finish it quite fast, but digital things....those just can't be finished fast 8U
Third thing is that drawings can be done in high resolution/quality. Colouring is quite fun. I like shading/blurring stuff there xD Big thing is that the backgrounds can be done VERY easilly (that's what i really like about digital drawing cuz I quite hate making backgrounds xD)

Overall, I believe myself that I won't gonna be a digital artist because it requires more time and eats my eyes (after drawing i felt tired and i dont want to go blind xD). BUT I can't say I wont draw digital 8D Maybe one day I'll get a tablet and you'll see more of my digital pieces :la:. I do want a tablet, it was a new thing for me to learn, but not the thing I'll be always working with, because I'm ensured all my skills are in traditional media ^^. I know that I can learn digital things and all those miracles but I'd be nowhere as good as in traditional stuffs.

Lastly, I'd like to know your opinions about my digital pieces below. Those aren't made for critiques but at least want to see what do you guys think about them. They aren't perfect but im proud of what I made. Maybe someone would say they'd like to commission some? xD Or..maybe those are bullshits and I shouldn't continue with digital things? You decide and say it xD


Now heres the marvelous glory of my digital pieces :iconhappyblueplz: *LOL*

Manau tau gavosi neblogai, netgi labai gerai : ). Aš per daug metų neišmokau normaliai naudotis savuoju :dummy:
Man labai patinka tas ežys, jis toks ežiškas ir geras :|.
Labiausiai nepatinka šeškas su nerdiškais rūbais. Bet tikriausiai ne dėl to jog piešinys būtų blogas, o tiesiog man labai nepatiko tas filmas... : >.
Manau dar daugiau pasipraktikavusi ir pasimokiusi, galėtum atlikti tikrus stebuklus, su tuo aparatu :la:
