Digital Art

I would consider myself a digital artist. I know I'm not the best at it,
but there is always room for improvement, right? On the right is a picture I did recently. It's my character, Taya. I've had Taya for some time now but she isn't my oldest character. Now, Ari or Oliver, I have some old art of them. I do my digital art on a drawing tablet. The current Tablet I have is a NuVision Kickstand 11 Draw that I was fortunate enough to get for my birthday. It was about $200 dollars and I am very grateful for it. The one I had before though, I bought myself. It's a Huion H6 10 Pro and that was about $80. The difference between the two is that my NuVision is a touchscreen while my Huion isn't.
But drawing tablets aren't the only way you can draw. There are really good artists out there that use mouses or touchpads. And to them, I tip my hat. Drawing with a mouse is hard, but not impossible. Like everything else in the art world, it takes time and practice. And there are different drawing programs MS paint is free, but not the best.  Fire Alpaca and Medibang paint are excellent free programs. Personally, I use Medibang paint. And these are just a few to name.
Remeber, art takes practice. I've been drawing for almost 3 years now. Start out slow, as a  hobby on paper, then go and buy a tablet if you absolutely want to. You don't need top of the line brands to make art, and you need is a pencil and a piece of paper.

Art Supplies

As an artist, there are several different types of tools I use. Yes some of them can be expensive, but there are some cheaper alternatives. For example, I use Finecolour, TouchFive, and Prismacolor as alternatives to Copic alcohol based markers. There is a difference, but for beginning artists or artists with little money (like myself) they work fine. So here are some of the things I use in most of my drawings. If you couldn't tell, I use alcohol based markers. They can make traditional art look almost digital. Except for when the fine line decides it wants to bleed and ruin your freaking drawing. But it's just the type of fine lines I'm using. I know Copic makes fine liners and I'm sure there are other types of alcohol-based fine liners that won't make your pictures, that you spend hours on, bleed. There are other things that I use as well as markers. Gellpens, colored pencils, and washi tape are some other things that I use in drawings. Th...

My first musical - part one

This year is my first year taking any sort of drama or acting class. And so far, I love it. I've made so many new friends because of drama and I've become a much more confident person. My drama class has helped me in many different ways.  Every year, the drama program puts on a musical in the fall. Anyone can join, but you need to audition. So that's what I'm doing. I'm not necessarily hoping for a big part, I honestly could care less what part I get; I just want a part. It seems like fun. This Tuesday and Wednesday are try-outs. On Tuesday, we have to sing a song from a musical. On Wednesday, they teach us the choreography. I'm more worried about the singing part. You see, I wouldn't really say I'm the best singer, but I still want to try. I'm going to sing "Lifeboat" from the Heathers. It's simple, it's short. Now, you may be wondering, "Eli, what musical are you doing?" The Addams Family. Yes, there is a musical of t...
