Paint The Game

[Johnway]

@Johnway Impressed by the quality and detail of your art work. I felt inspired to try using Paint again last night.

But can you upload a picture on here from your PC? If YES how?

I've been using some gaming sounds as part of sound art project, but would like to get into creating more digital images as well.

i upload to imgur.com and i copy the URL from there.

I would personally go to krita and practice painting and drawing from there. Paint doesn't really offer the tools to make life easier or is effective tbh. I personally use photoshop but krita is a decent free alternative.

if you have a wacom tablet that also helps, but getting use to staring at the screen instead of the tablet to draw can be tricky and frequently i'm just winging it and work around problems.

So how are your images made...tablet and photoshop?

I'm used to pencil drawing, but trying to get the line with a mouse is going to take a while. Changing my DPI settings helped. This thread can be a good incentive to try new ideas.

I'll go and watch a few YT classes, always a good start.

Every digital artist I know uses a tablet for creating original drawings or paintings—most I believe use a Wacom tablet, check those out. Drawing with a stylus is so much more intuitive.

Yes I have looked at them, and my son has one. I'm enjoying using Krita at present. I like to find new techniques or software and just play with it.

I mainly work with sound because you can reference anything from reality to films, music, games,etc,etc and also layer those.

Some of the original art work for games is interesting, to see the concept behind say HZD and see how that played out in the actual game.
