A Step-by-Step First Drawing Tutorial:
Let's create a simple cartoon cat!
1. Setting Up Your Canvas
- Open the app and find the "New Project" option.
- Set the size. A standard size is good. (Bigger is not better) A beginner needs to learn how to control tools better on a medium-sized image.
- Select your preferred colors! This will define your art style.
2. Layering Techniques for Efficiency
-
Creating layers: Splitting work into sections using layers improves efficiency. Try to place the sketch (initial draft) on its own layer and the paint and colorings on another! (Don't just put one line, even if you only want to sketch the head for your painting! Use a new layer and give names for layers). You’ll like your new efficiency techniques!
-
Editing Layers: Layers help in the correction process! Easy to correct things if you messed up a bit on any layer. Try removing or adding new layers whenever you want.
