Learn from the pro.

Yay! It’s another week in your art journey, and you’re thinking up some amazing art you would like to create. You typically would get dressed and dash out to the store after giving a big scream of “oh! Yea, that was a good idea for an art” to get some pencils, erasers, the good old T-square, and some French curves maybe. But then you remember while at your visit to your friend’s house last weekend, you saw him wielding this pen-like tool. Swinging it in different motions back and forth on something with a flat surface.You asked him what it was, and he told you it was his drawing tablet and money-making art tool.

Somehow you knew he was right by the way he felt while using it, and the amazing result he got while at it for just a few minutes, which originally would take you a massive number of hours to do on paper.

You started feeling you were missing out from the possibilities of becoming a better artist (and frankly you were).

You then said to yourself, “I’ve gotta explore this awesome medium, and level up the artist in me”.

Following that determination, you picked up your phone, went online, found a seller, and purchased one for yourself. But somehow it felt like Armageddon while trying to use it. It wasn’t as easy as you had envisaged.

Well firstly, that my friend is a bold step from where you’re coming from, and I must commend you for that. It’s a lot of guts to show when trying to transit from something you’re comfortable with, to something you’ve got little or no clue about. So congratulations.

You’re here now, so let’s talk.

You see I was in that exact same position years back when I decided to explore my digital artistic side. I started making illustrations using a mouse, but mehn! Was it so limiting? Especially drawing without pressure sensitivity.

The first time I used a graphic tablet, it felt like I was being controlled by it, instead of the other way round. For many artists, this is a big hurdle to cross.

No worries though, I’ll show you how to crush this challenge using this mind-blowing transition strategy, and ultimately transit seamlessly into effectively using this amazing tool. But before that, it is really important to understand why artists make use of these tablets.

Really now, why do artists use drawing tablets?

Well, in one word, it’s a masterpiece. Either it is a display tablet or a graphic tablet, It is definitely a huge time-saver, especially when making an illustration because it sums up all you need into one sleek tool. Erasing when artists make a mistake is an inevitable hassle, and unless you’re going for an art solely for a canvas, like these paintings, you would agree.

How soon can you be a pro at it?

Now, this is where the argument starts. If you search this query on Google right now, you would probably find a lot of people saying one week, two weeks, 3 weeks, basically just picking a number that maybe worked for a few people.

If I’m to even give you a timeframe based on my own experience, I would say 3 days, because I am very techy, and yes! That was how long it took me to figure it out. But does it work that way?

The answer is an absolute NO!

Why? Because we all learn at a different pace, and I would only give a bias suggestion just like every other person out there if I say 3 days. So I can only guide you on how you can go about learning yours.

Heck, you can even learn the tool in two days if you’re so willing to dedicate a whopping 20 hours or so each day, to go through every single feature in the software (I hope not), and trying out different nibs (if yours shipped with those extra perks).

The key is knowing what works for you.

You’re still reading, that’s great!

Now for the cool stuff…
