While uploading my entry for XP PEN x TOP TOY it got flagged as Audit Not Passed (it’s my 4th entry so I reread the guidelines and there’s no specific rule about the number of entries), I tried to upload again (with different files / sizes but I still cannot share my work) and I honestly don’t know if I should create a new account to post there or not?

#XPPenTutorialPracticeTips for keeping your character face rotations clean and consistent! when designing what i did 1. Start with the front viewI recommend beginning with a clear front view before moving on to the other angles. It gives you a reliable base for the proportions, facial features, hairstyle, and overall silhouette.2. Dont be afraid to use 3d models or any other reference 3D models can be really useful when you're struggling with an unfamiliar angle. I like using them to check the perspective and placement of the facial planes. They are especially helpful for side and 3/4 views, if your softaware allows it practice a bit with them or any other image reference that are 3d head models 3. Keep your landmarks in mindPick important landmarks that define your character: the width of the jaw, eye spacing, nose length, mouth position, ears, hairline, etc. this will help get the overall shape of your character and having them in mind will help you notice when you're drawing something different from what your character actually looks like! 4. Flip your canvas!Flipping the drawing horizontally is a simple way to catch proportion and construction mistakes that your brain has gotten used to seeing.What i shoul've done2. Use guide lines!Before drawing the features, establish the construction of the head: the center line, brow line, eye line, jaw, and other landmarks that we talked about before, in my case i did it with the face structure! but that is NOT everything you have to keep in mind, you also have to keep in mind your hair, accesories, and other things and use guidelines for those tooThat's all!

My tip to make face angles easier is learning what I call the "shape thingies". At every angle the face part will make a certain shape or form. Sitting down to draw these for fun can add to your head studies by teaching you your prefered result and what style of face you want to draw with the shape thingies. This is something to add-on to your head and face studies that's low effort:)

One thing that really helped me while working on this piece was thinking about the face as different planes. I start by figuring out where the light is coming from, then I look at which parts of the face face toward or away from it. That helps me decide where to put lighter and darker values instead of randomly adding shadows. I practiced this idea while painting this piece, especially around the cheeks, nose and eyes. I'm a 13 year old artist, and getting an XP-Pen tablet has been a dream of mine. My family has to be careful with money, so having the opportunity to participate in an XP-Pen challenge like this means a lot to me.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?From the moment I opened the box, I was surprised by how neatly everything was stored and organized. If I put the tablet back in its box, it would be so much easier! And the fact that it came with a stand was a delightful surprise.THE TABLETCompared to the Artist 12 2nd gen, it’s smaller but in a good way. The borders are narrower: This gives the screen where you draw more visibility and reduces the space between the keys, making them easier to access.The keys and X-Dial: They’re slightly smaller, but thanks to that and the previous point, you get two extra dials! They’re small, but for me, they’re easier to control. They’re perfect for quickly adjusting the zoom, rotation, or pen thickness, depending on your preference.This has really helped me reduce my reliance on the keyboard and stay focused on drawing, since I can easily access the shortcuts I use most often.Lighter Weight:In addition to the borders, the tablet is thinner, which makes it lighter. The first time I took it out of the box, I was surprised by how light it was. That’s why I can handle and move it more easily.Screen:Its paper-like texture makes it feel quite pleasant when drawing; you no longer feel like you’re drawing directly on a screen. Goodbye, scratches and glare! Thanks to the screen’s construction, it’s anti-glare and scratch-resistant. So far, I haven’t gotten a single scratch, and I can draw with the lights on without any annoying glare.Screen Colors: From the very first time I turned it on, I liked how vivid the colors looked and how similar they were to my computer screen, so I didn’t have to adjust anything in the driver. This is a feature similar to the Artist 24 Pro that I loved.Brightness:The only issue is that the buttons to control the tablet’s brightness can malfunction, so to lower it, you’ll have to do it manually through the driver.THE STYLUSIt’s a little thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Artista 12 2nd gen. Its strokes feel quite light thanks to its x4 chip and 16,384 pressure levels.You can barely feel the tip moving: As someone who has used various tablets, this was something I noticed right awayIt’s just like drawing with a pencil!And best of all, it’s magnetic! Now I keep the pen in one place, where it’s easy to grab when Ineed it.PORTABLE STANDIt’s quite sturdy thanks to its aluminum construction and super easy to set up or put away. However, due to its size and design, I can’t use it on my desk.Nevertheless, there’s no doubt that it’s a great tool.COMMENTSThe transition from the 2nd to the 3rd version was a major innovation. It features quite a few changes and improvements that have made it my primary drawing tool when using my computer. It’s super comfortable and looks much better.
