Gigantic mouse pad, high dpi, use ergonomic mouse

Piss off you gigantic retard, get carpal tunnel and suffer.

You suck at drawing with a tablet probably because you also suck at drawing in general. Grind your fundies for now, and then it will be easier to draw with a tablet.

Draw.

Pixel art is easier than normal drawing

use a Razer mouse

>>4847384
just get used to it. tablets feel odd at first but you get used to it and get 100x more control than a clumsy mouse

hold your mouse as a pencil

Just make traditional lineart and then color it with lasso tool + soft brush with the mouse. Not even poorfriends have an excuse.

Just learn how to visualize and it won't matter what's being used for art

i draw with the trackpad on my laptop. i got good after while just doing it all the time. i draw shit like this

>>4847384
If you can already draw somewhat use the lasso tool to carve out shapes. Otherwise just use a pencil.

been drawing on mouse for 3 years, dont listen to retards saying you cant mouse draw ever, the tool literally doesnt matter if you know how to draw you can fucking draw with your feet
first things first, lower the sensitivity down to 6/11 in windows, 400 dpi, large mousepad
next is to get an actual proper grip, dont death grip the mouse, use a claw or fingertip grip
also use an optical mouse

the strength of the mouse lies in its extreme accuracy and slow pace, but its weakness is doing very large and quick line strokes

Im really curious what your work looks like. Do you only use a mouse?

>>4848138
yeah, win xp msp and mouse only
sometimes i may use windows 7 msp because of some brushes it offers

you should switch to a tablet youre restricting yourself but you dont realize it. ive met a few other online who refused to switch from a mouse because they felt so comfortable with it, it's silly.

>>4847437
that was a good thread

Practice using tablet

i haave a tablet and trad that i draw on occasionally
the only thing holding me back is my lack of knowledge

>>4847384
Asking this is kind of like asking what brush you should buy to play with your butthole. Sure, technically you can do it, but it has no relevance to art.

>i couldn't get used to drawing with a tablet
>so please tell me how to get used to using a drawing implement that's objectively 100x worse for drawing instead

>>4847384
I draw with a mouse all the time, you just gotta get the mileage in. Draw a bunch of shapes, draw a bunch of pictures, draw from reference. Your hand WILL get used to it. Pic related, it's my work when I draw with a mouse

>>4847384
Try putting the mouse in your ass

Thats not terrible but it doesnt have the flow you can achieve with a pen. Another thing bothering me is his tie it should have a part connecting under his collar.. or is it a clip-on tie?

I used to use this method when I didn’t have a tablet.

It's a detail that I fucked up and didn't see until now, hah, my bad. And I agree about the flow. Long strokes of lineart are really tough to achieve with a mouse. You're basically restricted to certain styles without that range of motion.

Are you the FAGGOT from tumblr that I gave I free tablet and you never used it? If so, FUCK YOU

>>4847384
How long did you try drawing with a tablet for?

>>4853319
I never received a free tablet and I don't even own a Tumblr, barking up the wrong tree here buddy

>>4853341
> How long did you try drawing with a tablet for?

15 minutes and then I ragequit because it didn't look like Craig Mullins and Kim Jung Gi

You're like one of those people on a mission to prove to the world, or worse, get other artists to prove to the world, that Krita or Gimp is as good as the paid programs like Photoshop or CSP.

Not spending the couple of minutes / hours / days that it takes to get used to a tablet is equally fucked up as refusing to pay 25$ for CSP when it would save you time, money and grief every single time you draw something for the rest of your life.
