planin got get one with screen when i can

That's what I have now, I got a 2nd hand Artisul D13

worth getting?

Does a screen make it easier? Thinking of getting something with a screen just because I don't want to carry around a tablet and laptop constantly

I have a cintiq that I cant use right now because my laptop is a brick. The screen makes it MUCH easier, but not quite as simple as pen and paper. The price tag also is crazy high, so id only invest in one if you're crazy serious about art.

well obv

I love mine though. Between the shortcut keys, the eraser, and the screen, it made my workflow 10x easier

I dont even use the keyboard anymore except for one or two commands

Its wired, so I cant go far, but I can just lounge in bed and make digital sketchs which is really nice.

The only issue I have with mine is that the thin layer of glass makes for a very small disconnect between what you see and what you draw, that holds it back from being on the same level of trad

I see- do you have wireless capability though? I run an Intuos Pro M and it has Bluetooth connectability

The 13hd I got doesn't, but there are cintiqs that do for a bigger pricetag.

I heard really good things about the cintiq companion 2 if you want to consoledate into a single device

its a cintiq with its own battery and hardware, so its completely portable.

Hmm, interesting

Well, I'm definitely not good enough to make use of such a thing, but I'll thank you for the info and keep it in mind.

Your skills will carry over from both using an intuos and doing trad work, so its a nice investment with no need to rush into it. The learning curve is non existant if you already know how to use digital tools.

I reccomend waiting a year or two while you save up money comfortably and hone your skills in the meantime. Its a great goal to aim for.

@FUGUBARAKUN How much do furries pay? lol

Isn't their payment not for your art, but for your moral standing?

It's kind of like hiring a hitman. You're not paying a lot because killing a man is hard, your paying a lot because not many people will kill a man

^

I start at 60 and add per character and complexity

Actually, the military shit ends up costing more because molle webbing is miserable to draw

And screen made everything much easier for me

To answer an earlier question

I'm not doing commissions rn, but I used to charge the same. Some artists have a degeneracy tax that makes bank, but I never sold any NSFW.

>degeneracy tax

Tbh other than inflation fetish I really havent been asked to draw anything that awful

Yeah like, +50$ for gay shit, +50$ for furry shit, +50$ for weird fetish shit.

"I'm selling you my mortal soul for $50, it's a good deal"

"As well as my pride as a human"

Faust, but in 2018

Ironically the only thing I've been drawing lately is lewds for free. In my haitus the only thing I DIDNT get bad at was cute girls.

I have my limits, few have pushed them

@Gray ~~post lewds~~

I am not that good at dudes,

Lowkey frustrating because as cute as lolis are, I wanna draw transhuman robots and mutant monsters.

@cerafuki I wold but they're dangerously close to loli lewds

Oh

I can PM if you want.
