Same features, different spacingThe first drawing:The space between the eyes is the size of the eyesSmall space between the edge of the brow and the templeThe space between the nose and the top lip and the space between the lower lip and chin, are adequate The second drawing: The space between the eyes is too bigThe space between the edge of the brow and the temple is too bigThe space between the nose and the upper lip is too big The space between the lower lip and the chin is too smallWhen a portrait feels off, don’t immediately redraw the feature check the space around it first. Comparing these shapes can reveal proportion mistakes much faster

when the head turns or tilts, the facial features should wrap around the heads form rather than staying as flat horizontal lines. That way you’ll be able to see more depth A face isn't a flat surface. When the head turns, the features follow the curve of the skull. I use curved guidelines to make sure the eyes, nose and mouth stay attached to the form

You can just make a circle and then add plus mark then make triangle above it, there you go! A simple face sketch. When I am sketching, I found that it was so hard to draw if we make a difficult poses, then when I came up with an idea to simply the sketches and just draw the main part so it looks like a face and make it simple to draw. So I don’t need to redraw the face because it looks weird with the overall anatomy, just make another layer of sketch that you think perfect with the anatomy!

I'm using the 13.3 pro v2 and I've started using it on linuxI'm encountering a specific issue since I started using it with Linux where whenever the pen is on the screen and moving the cursor, I am completely unable to scroll with the wheel on the tablet or from the mouse. Scrolling works fine when I move the cursor with the mouse.

I use tutorial 7 and i learn the base of skin coloring. It was helpful and fun. Thanks for this tutorial. #XPPenTutorialPractice

Something Ive noticed in masculine faces, is the little space between the eyeball and the eyebrow. Normally, in femenine faces, this space is larger, and gives a softer expression to the face. When the space in shorter, it gives a thougher look, and that works for every tough character but specially in men its a common pattern. In this drawing, you can see Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII Remake, and how his facial expression is carried by the look in his eyes, in which eyebrows have a major role. If you wondered why your face drawings didnt look as rude/though as it needed to, this may be it! #XPPenTutorialPractice

Hi, everyone! Today I'm here to review the XPPen Drawing Display: Artist Ultra 16Today marks 9 months since I received this pen display, so I've had the chance to thoroughly test out all the features it has to offer, and I'd like to share my experience with you :)The first time I picked up the display it felt like a high-quality product: the box, the packaging, the color calibration report, the case for both styluses... I loved it! 💖I wasn't sure if the color calibration report differed across devices, so I started looking into other videos and reviews that covered this topic. I have to say that I ended up with a very interesting unit, with an Adobe RGB Avg. Delta E of 0.97, whereas the models I saw had values of 0.99, 1.01, and 1.07.To understand the meaning of Delta E, I will include information from the Profesional Review website, by author Breixo Gómez:From 0 to 1, it is not perceptible to the human eye.From 1 to 2, it is perceptible upon close observation. Therefore, a professional might be able to detect it.From 2 to 10, it is perceptible at a glance.From 11 to 49, the colors are more similar than opposite.When the value is 100, the colors are completely opposite.The XPPen website specifies that the units have a Delta E<1.1 (these are average values and apply only to Adobe RGB). Therefore, all units have color differences that are imperceptible to the human eye 👀The display itself is well-built, but it’s also true that it can sometimes feel like it “creaks”. I’m not quite sure why that is, and it doesn’t bother me personally, but it’s something to keep in mind because, when you hold it in your hands, it can feel “less premium” than it actually is.What I loved about the unboxing were all the accessories included in the box: from the stylus case, the cables, the reinforced glove, the replacement nibs, the ACK05 Shortcut Remote... It’s those little details that make buying a graphics tablet feel like a complete experience, so you don’t have to worry about anything other than plugging it in.And speaking of connecting the tablet, I have to admit that graphics tablets with displays are the most complicated to connect. The most common problems are that the HDMI doesn't detect the screen, that the screen resolution isn't correct, or that the power supply is insufficient... My recommendation is that you first check the product specifications and manual to make sure you'll be able to connect it without any problems.This is especially useful to know if you need to use the device at high brightness in a remote location or on a laptop, because this model has the European Union’s ENERGY Label with an E rating (10kWh/1000h), as stated on the "EU energy labelling requirements" web page: from class A (dark green), representing the most energy-efficient products, to class G (red), which are the least efficient.Another thing I liked about the tablet's design is the included stand. It's up to you whether you want to attach it or not. Personally, I already have a portable stand (ACS05), so I didn't feel the need to attach it to the tablet, but it's nice that it comes separately to make the pen display lighter.The Artist Ultra 16 display is without a doubt the best I've ever seen. Color accuracy is one of the things that has troubled me the most throughout my journey in digital drawing, since you have to make sure colors are consistent across all devices. Some screens lean more toward red, others toward blue, but having that assurance that the colors will be reproduced close to how you envisioned them is very rewarding.A few minor details I should mention are that, at least in my case, the X3 Pro Smart Stylus has a slight issue when lifting the tip off the display—an issue known as "drawing while hovering". It’s minor but noticeable from time to time, so I had to adjust the pressure curve to mitigate the problem :S(Here are my settings in case you experience the same issue. Just keep in mind that this doesn't completely solve the problem, since that's more of a hardware issue).The touch feature has also helped me on several occasions, especially when organizing tools, so I don’t have to move my hand back and forth, but keep in mind if you live in a hot climate or have sweaty hands (as I do) that the sweat can seep through the glove and activate the touch feature. The XPPen drivers have different settings so that the touch function can only be activated in the floating menu or "outside" of the custom area, although I found it strange that the “Customize” option doesn’t allow you to do the opposite—that is, to choose the “inside” area where the touch function can only work.Despite everything, I still think the Artist Ultra 16 is the best drawing display I've ever had: its colors, the quality of the materials, and the texture of the display make me want to keep drawing every day! ^_^I just hope that someday there will be a Pro Slim Stylus with felt tips or tips made of some other material, because I love switching up my stylus, heh heh :P

Hi, everyone! Today I'm here to give a 'tiny' review of the XPPen Deco 640 (^_^)I got the device thanks to the Strange Little Things event! I was surprised when I saw the email ha, ha!The Deco 640 is one of those devices I've always been interested in trying because of its compact size, which allows you to move from one side of the canvas to the other in an instant, thereby reducing wrist strain.Before I get into the review, here are some photos of what's inside the package, which I personally think is very nice 💖The tablet reminded me of my first graphics tablet, including the feel of the stylus; however, since it’s newer, its features are superior and it comes at a lower price. Don’t remove the included screen protector until you’ve tested the product first—which I recommend doing—but once you’ve finished testing it and verified that it works properly, I do recommend removing it because it causes bubbles, and the drawing experience is compromised with the protector on.One of my biggest fears when I got my first graphics tablet was that it would get scratched, which led me to try different screen protectors to prevent that. Once I decided to remove it, the drawing experience improved significantly, and it didn’t get scratched at all, so I can assure you that it’s very unlikely to happen (unless you press the stylus too hard or don’t clean it after use).I first tested the device on my cell phone to see if it worked, since it didn’t require any drivers, but keep in mind that you need to rotate it 90° to the left to align with the active area.The 8 shortcuts it has aren't physical—they're virtual—so you have to move the stylus over the icon to activate them. Although I found the idea of virtual shortcuts interesting, I ran into some issues when testing them because some wouldn’t activate—and it’s not because the device is malfunctioning! It’s because, as I mentioned, the Deco needs to be rotated, but my tools were arranged on the left, so I’d accidentally select a tool instead of the shortcut :S(The program I used was Clip Studio Paint in Studio mode, but if you use Simple mode, this shouldn’t happen).I also wanted to know what the default shortcut settings were, so I’ve included the list here so you can customize the program’s shortcuts if you plan to use it on Android or iOS!(The stylus buttons are used to activate the eraser; by default, they function as the mouse right-click).When I tested the Deco 640 on a PC, I did notice an improvement in the drawing experience because I had the entire active area available horizontally. One of the things I liked most was the texture of the surface itself, which is slightly rough, like a sheet of paper. The virtual shortcuts also worked perfectly when I placed the stylus at the top, avoiding the issues I had on my cell phone.By the way, I already had the XPPen drivers installed because I’d been using the Artist Ultra 16, so I didn’t have to uninstall them for the Deco to work. So if you have another XPPen device, you only need to install the drivers once (unless the device is new and you need the new drivers that support it).With regard to the stylus movement in proportion to the aspect ratio, I felt like the stylus moved a little faster than I expected, though I assume it’s just a matter of getting used to it.I adjusted both the stylus pressure and the shortcuts on my PC to see if they would change on my phone, but the changes don’t carry over to other platforms. What I did notice is that after trying the Deco 640 again on my phone, I felt more comfortable—the shortcuts no longer caused me any trouble when I pressed them. I like the idea of virtual shortcuts, but with physical shortcuts these problems don’t exist—Although I understand that the device needs to be small and lightweight.I have nothing more to add other than that today’s options are much broader and more accessible, with better features than just 10 years ago! So if you’re just starting out in the digital world, the Deco 640 is one of the best options right now!And what better time to take advantage of it than with the new purple color that just came out :D
