For a beginner like me that can't even draw a decent looking circle, is it simpler to practice the old fashion way (pencil and paper) or via tablet? I noticed a lot of my doodles look less shaky with a pencil for some reason.

I'm gonna try to give drawing a try again and hopefully I won't get discouraged when my drawing turns out to be a complete heap of s**t. Practice makes perfect and what not. Now to look for some sort of tutorial to get me started.

Keep in mind that digital and physical is different, you've less of an immediate connection to what you're doing. I would suggest using pen/paper, and when you can feel the movement you need to do then move onto digital. That way you have memorized the way your hands move and then practice on performing that on the digital media.

It's all about figuring out what you do with your hands to create those shapes, from there the rest will come.

It's simpler to do pencil and paper. Tablet is more difficult to deal with because of the smoothness of the surface. Unless you get one of those fancy ones that actually mimic pencil/paper texture.

And don't get discouraged, that's why I don't draw anymore, despite getting better at it over time. Just destroy things you find horrible and continue on your way.

Haaa! YEP.. tablet is just weird no matter what.

I got so used to drawing on my tiny 3DS screen
that I can't work the tablet right anymore.

It's one of those use-it-or-lose-it skills. emo
