Why the fuck did it take me this long to realise? I always knew something was off, because in real life you can zoom the canvas in and out by simply moving your head (even though the stroke sizes don't change). Is this why drawing on a digital canvas feels so fucking weird?

A lot of those beginner videos on youtube that are like "5 tips for every beginner artist" say not to zoom in.
That's good though, these little breakthroughs give you a lot of motivation on your art journey

Low IQ probably.

Based high IQ Chad.

Better realized now than later anon. We're all GMI so long as we continue to earnestly strive.

When I zoom out and try to draw, the lines are thin and blurry, and they're way more wobbly.

Get a bigger tablette

this board is so fucking retarded

>>7648433
If your on csp try switching the tablet preferences to wintab or tablet pc. Fixed that wobble for me

Kek, you're fucking retarded mate.

one day i realized i probably shouldnt zoom in past 100% canvas scale and my artwork started looking better (still not good but better)

>>7648198 (OP)
No way this works

Your art looks better zoomed out because you don't see all the glaring mistakes anymore you dumbasses

>>7649065
u werent suppose to point that out

zoming in =/ working on a smaller canvas. You need to use your shoulder and elbow to do proper lineart, that's why professional drawing tablets are so fucking massive. Working on a smaller canvas just allows you to make more mistakes because there are less pixels, but if you just zoom in you'll only chicken scratch your entire drawing and do 10 times the work because you had to draw every line "bigger"

no. dont use stabilizers. thats not what grit on paper is meant to do, and not everyones using a medium that involves a ton of friction. i guarantee youre hurting yourself if you use stabilizers, if your strokes can be fluid and sharp when necessary you wont be using a stabilizer thatd change up the small nuances in motion. if you cannot keep your hand steady whilst doing linework, youre moving your pen/mouse/finger wrong. use BROAD STROKES with the elbow/shoulder. when you zoom in you tend to get more chickenscratchy with it because you took up all your screen space with an amount of space that a small portion of a stroke should be able to cover. you might not notice the difference now but youll notice later. if you need actual friction and youre using a glass tablet, invest in a different kind of nib and screen protector (theres types out there that emulate the feel of paper if you really prefer that, real friction) but otherwise just rest your hand on the tablet surface and do most of the motion with your shoulder and elbow. your hand will provide the friction and tactile feedback, and youll force yourself to hold your pen properly and use only broad motions rather than scribbling with the fingers/wrist with stabilizers on (if youre skilled with a mouse, this is still all partially if not wholly relevant btw)

Either crab or completely clueless.

it's pretty easy to check the amount of stabilization a particular setup needs: just take a physical ruler and use it to draw a line on top of your tablet
once you get the same behavior as you would on trad, you're good to go

I don't want to watch a YouTube video. Can someone please explain why working on a small canvas is better than just working on a big canvas then shrinking it so nobody can notice all the fuckups?

This is a great image. I will use this to draw two OC's with interesting expression and composition, do you have a source of these two (Youtubers?)
