I could make some really good pics on paper, but not on a computer screen. How do people do it?

Yeah, I'm a paper person too. I don't get how people can draw on oekaki and make them look good.

tablets or tablet comps.
check 'em out if you want to make stuff look nicer.

not that I have one, you'd need to ask some of the real draw whores here what are good and bad.

Not really.

Arg, my hand moves around too much, so I have to use pointillism. How do you keep your mouse so steady?

So I spent a few hours practicing on P Chat. Did I improve /i/?

A bit.

Do you use an optical or laser mouse, or a trackball mouse? An optical mouse is MUCH easier to draw with, because it's more sensitive to movement. I guess tablets probably make it easier to draw godly pictures on oekaki (don't know from experience), but practice really is the most helpful thing you can do to improve. Just spend time getting used to drawing with your mouse, using the various oekaki tools, etc.

Do you know how to use layers? I noticed you've colored on top of your lineart in all your pictures. Layers enable you to color UNDER your lines, which looks a lot better.

I use a laser mouse...what's an optical mouse? I'm sorry, I don't know much about computer stuff.

I know how to use layers, I'm just to lazy to. lol

Both optical and laser mice use light to track movement. Optical mice use LED, laser mice use... lasers. The difference is in the degree of sensitivity.

If you know how to work with layers, you should try to use them. When you color over your lines rather than under them, it makes the image look "smudged".
