Actually it is not bad. your lines seems steady that it is a good point. It is almost abstract art. You are doing better than I am. I am a pretty good sketch artist but for some reason I have not mastered the wacom and painter. Keep it up man!

Yeah… I’m havin a hell-a-hard time doin this. Makin clean lines is like impossible. I want to start usin painter, but I don’t like the interface and stuff, so right now I’m usin Photoshop. That was completely irrelevant to everything, but I thought I would just add that.
so mr. dippy, are you good at 3d?
> 3d i am the same way! cant get a hang of my Wacom
Not really sure what you meant by that, if you mean you are good at 3d I wanna see some of your work.

Hey you may want to look at the way you are olding ou wacom or the positioning of your body. I noticed your drawings are leaning to the right. I thought the first on was an accident. My art instructor taught me about positioning it is very important. But the seconf one seems to have more control in the strokes. Hey mdipi I think it is the fact that I am looking at the screen while I am drawing and I am used to looking down at the paper. If I had that super sweet wacom with the screen on it I bet that would solve it all…Lets put together a help fund so I can get one. U.K.N.W fund
United Kirupians for Nathans Wacom fund.

3d-iva: lol, yeah, everything i do is leaning to the right. It’s not entirely on accident, I could change it, I’m just kinda lazy. The next one will lean to the left:P

Wacom is a drawing tablet that you connect to your computer.
