Hello! Cutie, I am Comic black rainbow.
Many cuties who are beginners to learn drawing may ask "Should I learn from hand-drawn first?
Or I learn directly from digital painting?
Many beginners are full of desire and fantasy in digital painting because they see the effect drawn by some painters' digital painting, or other effects from brushstroke as the watercolor, charcoal, color pen, etc.
They thought they could draw a masterpiece if they bought a digitizer.
PS. At the end of this article, there are 10 free Photoshop brushes for you, so that you can add different effects and fun when painting!
In fact, after I purchased a digitizer for the first time, I froze it for one year after my first trying because I didn't know how to draw digital painting until I learned painting software by myself.
After I painted with digitizer for two or three years, I bought a drawing Monitor and because the screen is too smooth instead of matte, I was not used to the feeling when I was drawing, I froze it again for one year until I asked myself: Why do I spend so much money on this?
I don't want to waste money!!!
So I told myself: force myself would be a habit, then I use it until now.
So I want to share the pros and cons of hand-drawn and digital painting with you for your reference.

Do you know how to start?
Although the common point of both is to learn the knowledge and techniques of drawing if you want to draw a good work
But for beginners
I suggest that it's would be better if you have the ability to draw lines well first

Because after you can control the ability to draw lines
You would not be discomfort or frustrated of trying digital painting if the result is not good.
