Switching from traditional pencilling and inking to digital using a wacom tab isn't a walk in the park but I gotta keep pushing to get better.
Quick practice sketches:
*#Indomitable Lily - Cartoonized picture of a friend done in Photoshop CS5
*Fury of Wolverine - Rapid Concept sketch done using SketchBook Pro 6.2.3
Hope to get better

Don't be scared or afraid*lol*hehehe*I'm still watching video tutorials & reading up stuff so don't think am there yet,I keep pushing. Like Proko Tutorials www.proko.com on facebook & on youtube.com,you'll go through the basics of art.

Polarbite:
lol,my stuffs? Pls brodas let's leave dat...i'm stil using basic shapes(spheres,cylinders,cube) 2 draw human figures and also readn thru andrew loomis pdf on figure drawing.LOL

Noted,bro,I will for next time,I draw him as a full body character not portrait like this. Thanks for the comment.

rotlan:
Cool....give kratos more muscles next time though..heheheehhe....love that character like kilode.

Good attempt,bro,with time you will get the hang of the wacom tab with practice like I am trying to do as well. Here are some hand illustration in pencil,ink & coloured pens then these digital versions done in Photoshop and SketchBook Pro drawn with a wacom tab*winks winks*

rotlan:
I think I have to stop here today. Will finish it and color tomorrow. Drawing with wacom tablet was strange but I got a hold of it in 30minutes. Fun all through. DerrickM and polarbite, I await your works o.

Yes,I did,bro,part of my #InkTober drawings hopefully posting all I drew online including that soon via my blog...

rotlan:
Your observation about comicpanel is noted. Just got signed on though, so these are some of the issues I will be fixing. Love to see some of your work too...did you draw that @ur profile.

Learn Photoshop & you can do it easily...

Rockyfancino:
How can I create a meme like this?

Ok now I get it,you meant the basics. Now about the blog,great work & content. I normally give credit to the blog for similar contents I post with my spin on it. Just please work on the typo errors in the article headings and content. I complained directly to Ayo via bbm,whatsapp & his direct mobile line. You are representing us to the world so be on brand & on point. best regards...

rotlan:
@demrickM...I wasn't talking about learning to be a comic artist in 2days. I stated that it shouldn't take more than 2days to learn the Basics of either lettering. Coloring, inking etc not all of them combined. I didn't mean being perfect in drawing either, just the basics. Glad you follow comicpanel...Yours truly is managing that platform now so look forward to greater stuffs.

Hey,great,you got my name correctly(next time you could modify your former post easily)*lol*rotflr*. Yeah,thanks,bro,just supporting our African industry via my blog. Hopefully launching the web/video tutorials section covering topics from comic making to other topics highlighted on my blog from December 2015 into 2016. Hopefully my artist friends won't use "Am Busy Ooo" alot*hehehe*lol

rotlan:
DerrickM (corrected).....didnt spell it well the last time. I went through you blog. Great work bro....

@ROTLAN: Common,bro,2days to be comic artist that's way too fast...When @POLARBITE's level of drawing skills hasn't been ascertained yet. Does he even know the basics of anatomy,gesture & drawing dynamic action poses etc using pencils or inks 1st before we even talk of knowing Photoshop or SketchBook Pro to colour up?!!Safer to say a week & then another week of practice/feedback. Let him even post his pencil or ink works here to get a feel of his art...Am waiting to see your stuff*grinning*musing to myself*

rotlan:
You can learn it in 2days...if you grab things fast...

@POLARBITE: Don't feel so sour you didn't make the cut for the course I studied into my alma mata that you get online & calling it a #thief. Life doesn't always go the way you expect so suck it up. When online better you watch your words carefully.
For more info on the comic industry in Nigeria,Africa & the world at large. Like ComicPanel on facebook & read their blog daily like I do www.comicpanel.org. We call it the "Linda Ikeji of the Comic Industry"

Pls my fellow nairalanders, where can i get to buy all art materials in Lagos? I mean art materials like artists' drawing pencils, paint brushes, e.t.c. I also need books that can guide me on painting of drawings with various paints. I can draw very well, at least to some reasonable extent, but painting is my challenge which i'm very ready to overcome before the year runs out, i'm ready to teach myself how to paint my drawings if i could lay my hands on books or any kind of materials that can guide me on it. I'll be very glad and grateful if you can help me with these. Thanks a lot

I hope you've been contacted though & let us know here in time if you haven't been,best regards

Freiden:
Pls, I need a Photoshop guru. If you are one, pls contact me on whatsapp: 08107195548. Thanks!

Your explanation on the issue isn't enough for me to really understand. Take a screenshot of the pc screen while trying to install Photoshop using the Snipping Tool. Then upload the pic for me to understand the error better.
Photoshop is simple & straight forward to install so your case is somewhat rare.

paulsir:

No problemo,just downloaded the CS6 Design & Web Premium Suite from Adobe. Gotta make time to install it asap & check out that liquify tool issue,best regards...

jaidor:
Thanks, I will be waiting. Buh jst a quick correction...the tool not working is actually the Oil Paint tool but not the liquify tool. And the Dedicated Video memory is 1GB while the Total available graphic memory is 2.17GB.

Dude,this thread is for Photoshop issues not pencil & ink works. I have no issues with you posting your blog links for more traffic but please let it be on topics or issues related to the title of the thread. Okay...thanks

Spread the word guys, this could be a form of inspiration to someone.

Ok,brov. I've feeling it'sn't compatible with CS6 or too powerful for your pc's VGA probably why it's greyed out. Am about to return to Photoshop CS6 this week & I'll see how it does on my end & give you feed ASAP,best regards

jaidor:
I hope its not coming too late, its CS6. Av got CS5 installed too but u knw the liquify tool is just a new feature that comes with CS6. Is there way I can manually put the GPU on? why is it always greyed out. Thanks sir

Hi @JAIDOR: That is really a peculiar problem. If you can increase your RAM to the highest capacity it can take please do and your storage space on your hard disk as well. Your VGA is just fine so it's puzzling me why Photoshop is asking for the GPU to be enabled when it's meant to be automatic. Now it brings me to the most pertinent question...What version is it 7,CS-CS6 or CC?!! Expecting your response ASAP,best regards...

jaidor:
Salute to everyone, pls I av a question for the gurus here, I am not able to use the 'Liquify' tool under filter...it keeps popping up a msgs that says turn on the GPU blah balh blah, n when I get to the preference to to dat it will be grayed out. This issue has been buggling me so much cos I often find myself needing to use the liquify tool for my designs. So what to u think is actually the cause? n how do I solve the problem? My system specs...3GB RAM, i5, 2GB video graphics, 320HDD Thanks

@INALEGWU99 I get that your question comes from a place of curiosity. Just take note of your typo errors they were much for real. Let me put like this using Photoshop for graphic design alone is not professional because Adobe didn't make it for that. It's mainly for Digital Art,Photo-manipulation,Photo Enhancement and allows import of vector art. It has limited vector creation capability compared to Illustrator because it's a raster application not vector vice-versa. Try creating a logo in PSD and then in AI then stretch & deform them. Regardless of the size big or small the logo from AI doesn't lose it's properties compared to that done in PSD. The logical design workflow when using CDR & PSD;is to design,add text and plan the layout of document regardless of what it is then place bitmap/jpg images enhanced from PSD. CorelDraw is very popular in Nigeria amongst newbies,pros and printers but in the big media/advertising firms or creative agencies you need to be proficient in Adobe Photoshop,Illustrator and InDesign especially in Lagos. I've checked lots of schools abroad online and noticed most teach these 3apps only for Graphic Design and are Adobe Certified Training Centres. So we all need to be onboard with these apps.

@FELIXCHIP,bro,he was just expressing himself. So both of you didn't need insult yourselves or rain curses on each other(totally uncalled for). You had your point no doubt but please y'all need to chill and relax.

The solution to your case export your finished design in any of the following formats-.pdf,.ai or .eps this ensures your design,lettering and pictures maintain their quality intact. Get to CorelDraw and import,make the layout of the file the size of the flyer with margins for bleeding etc. Then save in .cdr format & you are good to go to press hope that helps

Word of advice next time for printing jobs Adobe InDesign is better and more professional for flyers believe me. It's annoying that most printing use CorelDraw only not Photoshop,Illustrator and InDesign because pdf is better format to print it.

hardheife:
Pls ooo, I made a design on photoshop a flyer to be precise but I coudnt get to print it. It has to be converted to corel draw which I don't know how to do so I have to use corel draw all over for the design. Pls help, and d sizing.

Visit www.adobe.com and go to the downloads section. Read the system requirements of the version you want to install carefully so as not to overburden your pc.

prettytasha:
where can i download photoshop

It may have to do with the version you installed not being really compatible with the software. Your pc config details are still in complete as you didn't state whether it's a Pentium(R),Dual Core,iCore3,iCore5 or iCore7 CPU pc.
Is it giving an error message or something?!!From there you can get a better idea of its issues.

NarnieSnyper:
Pls, can someone help me out here: my photoshop didn't work on my pc after i installed it. My pc specs are: 4gb Ram, 450HDD, 64bits. I still dnt get y it isnt working. Pls help!
