An excellent drawing! I'm sure the client was happy with the finished art.
I'm no visual artist, my stick men are pathetic trust me no exaggeration! I'm not sure if this is good advice but I'll try it in the spirit of helping as it was given to me by a music teacher. Art sometimes is the flow of the creator ... going through each moment. Try to let the art flow through vs making steady corrections to what may be perceived as mistakes. Continue through those mistakes and you might find those mistakes are never noticed and potentially may be viewed as intentional. My evidence - to my untrained eye - picado drawing of that guitar player in blue where his spine looks messed up.try it for a decent drawing of your great caliber I'm curious to see what you come up with and how you perceive the finished drawing. Also to see if it gave you some peace and get into the zone quicker?
If that was garbage advice sorry just ignore it.
No, thanks for your point of view and the compliment!
I've heard that artists are their own worst critics and are perfectionists like I am. I sometimes have trouble with Proportions as I'll show here in an example did in a drawing game that was called Draw Something 2 which to my dismay stopped being supported. Great tools to work with in that game. Sometimes I don't catch a mistake until I come back to a drawing after a break from working on it. The client did love the dog, paid me a little more than I asked and came back and gave me another portrait of three dogs to do. I had to turn it down though. I haven't drawn at all in like a month or so, because I recently had surgery on my left arm and have not have the urge to draw. It's not my drawing arm, just not motivated right now. I draw as my way to unwind, while it's nice to get paid for my work. It makes it seem like a job, which I didn't want and someone warned me about that. Another artist. So I want to do it, because I want to do it, not because I have to.I will try what you say and see how it works. I think that's how someone gets their own style too. I don't think I have one, I just draw what I see. Thanks for the advice. I take any advice that can help me. I want drawing to be and stay fun.
As I said, I sometimes get proportions wrong and it's one thing I like about digital drawing, easy to fix. This drawing was taken from an ad for Jello. I was doing the drawing for the word Jello or Pudding, forget which. I wanted to use a different way to guess the word, so i drew this from the ad. Now the ad was a real picture of Bill Cosby posed like this. As you can see the Neck is way too long, the bowl is not good, and the shoulders misaligned. This took me a few hours to draw, but the thing that gets me is I didn't even notice until after I submitted the drawing in the game, I always saved screenshots of my work if it was good, so I didn't notice this until after it was submitted. Otherwise I would have fixed it. it looks more like a caricature of Bill Cosby now. Not a true drawing of him. I see what you mean though by mistakes making something maybe better. I look at it now and think, how did I not see that?! I think sometimes I work so hard on the details, I miss the big picture. LOL Thanks though, Supa_Fly. I appreciate the advice and thanks again for the compliment.
This was done on my Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet in the Game Draw Something 2.
Well, could not resist, picked up a 9.7 Pro to go with my Wacom 16". Really nice combo for mobile art. Have not done anything post worthy, just doodles and hand studies. Really like the small iPad though. So portable and much better battery life.
I love drawing on my iPad. It helps me relax.
Quick portrait of Rhonda Rousey whilst I'm watching the prelims. Finally back to Adobe draw after my recent procreate projects haha.
Happy New Year, everyone.

My start in digital art, and design, was vector graphics and so I've always kind of gravitated towards that vector illustration kind of style. It suits the way I tend to draw things and I quite like the challenge of making something look realistic with vectors or using a limited colour palette, I guess it's a continuation of the stuff I've been doing on Adobe Illustrator for a while now so I'm quite at home with Adobe Draw. Procreate is a digital painting app and I just find it difficult to get things to look the way I'd like them to.
Procreate is great for sketching though, I do use it for that quite a bit, just prefer Adobe Draw for my illustration stuff.
Here's a process shot of something I'm working on, just to keep the thread rolling. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!
Thanks.
I think when I think of vector art, I think of something like Illustrator where you can go back and tweak the bezier curves. I don't think you can do that in Draw, correct?
Yeah that's correct, you can't adjust paths like you would in illustrator in adobe draw. However you can send your work to illustrator from adobe draw and it exports as fully editable vector, so once you've got your work in illustrator you can.
Essentially Adobe Draw is like illustrators paintbrush tool with a bunch of brushes and layer capabilities.
Man, this thread makes me want to learn how to draw. Brilliant & inspiring work here, well done!

All adobe draw, apart from the gradient in the background which i added in adobe illustrator.

I've experimented with Draw to try to create this sort of look, but have struggled. So how do you create the different solid-color brush strokes along the edges of the jackets and such? Do you control the angle of the pencil to vary the stroke width, or just carefully outline the area with a thin line then do a fill command?
Before I got my first Ipad Pro, I didn't understand Adobe Draw or Adobe Sketch, I had to ask someone at the Apple store how to control the thickness of the tools. I've used it to do a black and white drawing. Here's how you change it, on the left side there are the tools and once you click on a tool to draw with, three circles will pop up on the left. I believe the top one is Line thickness, the middle is Color, and the bottom is Opacity. You take your finger or Apple pencil and hit the middle of the circle and drag either to the left or right to adjust the thickness. It'S not very intuitive that way, and I for one couldn't figure it out at first either.
For the color, just click on that circle and the color picker with show up. The last the Opacity, I forget if it's the same as the thickness or i believe it's just a slider to adjust the Opacity. I still don't know how or if that program has a fill tool. I'm much more comfortable using Procreate and it does everything I need.
Only advantage I've read is that Adobe Draw is a Vector Drawing app. With Vector drawings if you make prints, they don't get all pixelated, like with Procreate if you blow them up too large. I had this problem with Procreate when I did a drawing of my friends german shepherd. I blew it up too big and it got pixelated and fuzzy at parts. Then through asking on the forum if there is a way to not have that, they told me about how many dots per inch to use in Procreate and to make the Canvas bigger than the size I wanted to make sure it wouldn't become pixelated when I print at a larger size. I like Procreate and that fixed the problem of Pixelation. The two types of drawing app have their advantages, I'm just more comfortable with Procreate. Hope that helps. :}
Edit: I just wanted to say in case you know what I explained already, if you are talking about the changes in width in one line, than I would think it's pressure sensitivity. He can probably answer better on that. That is the only way I would think, but as I said, I don't use draw that much, so not sure about how it totally works.
[doublepost=1484977874][/doublepost]I did some googling and playing with Draw for a little bit. I was wrong on the bottom circle on the left, it's brush Settings, not Opacity. This is where I don't like Adobe Draw, you can only change the Opacity of a layer, not the individual lines. That's something I hope they add in the future.
The brush settings are sliders. I really don't know why they wouldn't add opacity to lines or colors on an individual basis. I did try changing the thickness of a line and it's pretty much just the thickness of a line, combined with the pressure sensitivity you use to draw it. You just have to change the pressure while drawing the line, to get what Rews did in his drawings.

I may have misunderstood you but you can definetely adjust the opacity of brushes in Adobe Draw in the exact same way that you do it in Adobe Sketch.
I have only used Adobe Draw a couple of times. I usually use Adobe sketch but am keen to try out Procreate soon.
P.S. I hope you like my masterpiece above... It took me hours!!!
