Drawing Basics Curse - A Brief Lesson on Digital Tools for the CourseHi.
I’ve been going through the Drawing Basics course. The first few lessons cover traditional art supplies and how to use them, but there isn’t much guidance on digital tools. Proko does mention that the course can be done digitally, but there’s no follow-up on how to set this up.
I think it would be really helpful to have a short, separate lesson covering the basics of working digitally. Things like recommended brushes, canvas size, and essential settings. Nothing too fancy, just a simple guide with the absolute essentials related to this course or maybe even a brush pack specifically tailored for this it.
I bring this up because I started the course digitally and initially struggled with figuring out which brush to use, and what the do’s and don’ts might be. I imagine others could face similar challenges.
I know that there is a course called Digital Drawing Fundamentals, but this feel advanced, and it even mentions that it is an intermediate course.
What do you think?
Sometimes time seems to fly by.

The one with dark lines was before I watched the demo, and I focused there on anything but exploration and sketching. The one with lighter lines I drew after watching the demo. I think I gravitate towards making one perfect line for some reason.
I've also found that using a smaller brush size works better in this exercise, as multiple wider lines kind of merge into one, so the exploration is less visible. Drawing with low opacity allows drawing more lines without committing to any in particular, so it's easier to sketch this way.
I noticed that having the right canvas-size-to-brush-size ratio is essential to getting these sketches right.

Damn, these laces. Drawn before demo and critiques. I tried drawing snail and boots 3 times, but skull and camel is a first try(and within one hour!). Lesson learnt: a zoom is an enemy!
