are you refering to me painting with a mouse?
yes it is tough but it tought me alot of things about myself. i learnt to be more patient,
i worked on sketching and drawing more.

so you don't need to give up, success is not money fame, chicks and dude points.
the most successful people attribute their success to the hardships they face,
I am no way successful, but i look at other things to motivate me.

oh ok, i will take that as a complement, honestly I did not even know who is luis royo or his work till today. It was actually inspired by into the beautiful grim by daarken, i just loved that painting so much that i gave my own interpretation.
I saw Luis Royo's works, i don't think my work captures that awesomeness.
I like the style where you pull and push elements, you know a blank canvas can be daunting and just follow the randomness of the strokes. Sadly i use a mouse pen, and that has no pressure sensitivity.

I saw someone drawing with his feet, someone drawing with his mouth and someone drawing upside down. In what way ever you create isnt really important. You seem to have the right flow even without a Cintiq ... i wanna see others beat that

well i was or am now used to drawing with a mouse pen.
at first i was really frustrated and just wanted to give up cause i could not blend, could not draw or paint faint strokesΒ and well i thought what the heck, i should give up but strangely enough simple shading on pencil and paper again got me back to drawing digitally, i am a poor fellow, lol.
anyway i saw that a few weeks of gap drawing digitally and traditional work improved my skill. and when i go back to sketching or more like shading, they shading and form improves.
and the other way works for digital painting. it is like sharpening both sides of a blade.
I have had no professional training when it comes to digital art so its more a trial and error and my brain collecting information.

I forgot who it was, damnit .. but saw a really amazing artist and she was drawing only with mouse. A tablet just gives a more natural feel of actually painting something. I think the best experience you have on those huge cintiques, where you paint directly on the screen. But

well i don't think i can even afford a bamboo now, i converted my mouse into a mouse pen, where i can draw by holding the the mouse button and the transceiver is placed on the bottom where led or ball of a pen would be,
there is no pen pressure or sensitivity but i have my own custom opacity and flow settings and like painting in real life the more i add the more colour there is.

People won't see that if they are not told. You are doing very well

thank you, i first painted just the figure and then thought about a story and the forrest came about and at the end decide to add some clothes, i think the original wouldn't be good for all to see.

I love the clothes, especially how they are swaying, and the red, its a great tone of red that pops out and brings the rest of the scene around her, really great job and always very welcome

don't paint with the a mouse, i did for a year and a half and i was getting no where with a mouse and later when i bought a tablet, i saw How much my drawing and painting skills deteriated.
Mouse makes your hands more heavy and you slowly lose that softnly, i think even for 60 dollars

Its been almost 3 years I'm with a mouse.. I know its hard but I can't find a tablet! The cheapest I found so far is 800$!! There's none in my area! :/ but I keep drawing traditionally too so I don't lose that touch hopefully!!Β

will i use a genious pen tablet, i bout it for around 60 dollars, it has no pen pressure and it can so shortcut keys but i use my traditional skills for blending and my knowledge of color and values.
It is a mouse Β pen with no special skills.
yes traditional skills really really help, what you can do is scan your drawings or paintings and digitally paint them in, but i would recommend using using a pen tablet, a graphic tablet can help alotΒ

Ohh!! 
Yes I used to do that! More like I used to do tracing! I took pics of my traditional sketches and drew over them with a mouse! Thank you!!
