Hey! I wa wondering if you had/knew of any tutorials that focus on Autodesk Sketchbook? I got it bc its free but am struggling with coloring and some other features

Hi Anon!

Great question!

A lot of digital art programs are similar, but the UI for each one tends to be really different.

Autodesk is a fun one, and I recommend customizing your workspace so it works best for you.

The quickest way to learn a UI is to spend some time just playing around! Sketchbook has a lot of gestures in its UI, so tap and drag on the pucks and play around to see what each thing does.

When you first start coloring, pick a brush and go for full opacity, I find working at mostly full opacity for the entirety of painting works really great. It might seem harder, but you have better edge control and value transitions.

Beginner's Guide to Digital Art First, check out our comprehensive Beginner’s Guide to Digital Art. It's packed with tips, tricks, and insights that will not only help you with Sketchbook but also with digital art in general.

Autodesk's Official Sketchbook Tutorials Next, dive into Autodesk's own Intro to Sketchbook tutorials. These are super helpful and come straight from their creators.

You'll find step-by-step guides on everything from basic navigation to advanced coloring techniques.

I like learning with videos, and if you are the same as me here are some!

youtube

Remember, like any form of art, digital drawing and coloring take practice. So, don't get discouraged if it doesn't come naturally at first. With these resources and a bit of patience, you'll be creating masterpieces in no time! 🌟

Stay creative and keep experimenting. Happy drawing! 🖌️🌈

Thanks for looking!

Once again I bring you a drawing of Brooklyn :3 I was supposed to publish it last night but I had a lot of problems with this drawing so it couldn't be done.It took me approximately 5 hours to do it and I don't think I like it that much, it's supposed to be Brooklyn and its other side. Yesterday I watched G-rev again and I was inspired but it seems like it wasn't the right timeI hope you like it and on Monday I bring another FanArt ❤️ thank you and remember to follow me on my networks like Pixiv and Patreon, we are launching the app. You find me as Divine Phoenix46, you know with the photo of Chief Manabu.

Until next week.

My first drawing for this year, and it's a reference to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which is one of the best, if not THE best sitcom of all time in my opinion. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it because it's hilarious and all the actors are phenomenal. My AU based off of the show is where Bashful is Charlie Kelly. The Pepe Silvia meme was the first meme I ever saw for Always Sunny before I started watching the show. I thought about drawing Bashful wearing the shirt and tie that Charlie wears in this scene, but then I decided not to. I do plan on redrawing many moments from Always Sunny. I want to make many drawings of Grumpy and Doc as Mac and Dennis, my favorite cartoon ship as my favorite live-action ship.

#The 7D #save the 7d #the 7d bashful #❤ my 1st favorite dwarf! ❤#The shy and adorable dwarf!#my art #autodesk #sketchbook #It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia #IASIP #IASIP reference #alternate universe #redraw #the show has never even won any awards for its acting and writing even though they are both fantastic #he's holding a cigarette here but it looks like he's holding a stick of chalk

Subscription for a Paintbrush

A painter might feel like a paintbrush is an extension of themselves, developing muscle memory and skill to create beauty. But what happens when that tool is owned by someone else, and they charge rent? What if they've decided to take it away from you? What if they've decided your art isn't yours?

As a 3D artist, I was professionally trained in using Autodesk Maya, a 3D modelling and animation application. I became really good with it, and grew to love it! I used it at work and at home for my own projects. It became muscle memory, an extension of myself, an organ for expression.

The full version of Maya is ludicrously expensive at CA$2,500 a year! So I had to settle for a cheaper version called Maya LT. It was missing some features, but I wasn't using them at the time so it worked out. I paid CA$360 a year for 3 years.

COVID struck, and I lost my job. I had to use savings to continue paying my license for an additional 2 years, yet in that time they provided no updates. I was just paying for access.

In 2022, Autodesk announced that Maya LT was being discontinued, replaced by a new version called Maya Creative. Instead of a subscription, you'd buy "tokens", spending one token for 24 hours of use. You could only buy tokens in bulk, the cheapest being 100 tokens for CA$405, and they expire after one year.

I've never seen such a predatory, disgusting pricing model for a piece of software. It's like an arcade machine! I thought subscriptions were bad enough! I refused to participate.

Despite spending nearly two grand, the tool I love is going to deactivate itself soon, and I don't have any say in it. It's bytes will still be on my computer, but it'll refuse to launch. Maya LT had a proprietary file format, so all of my projects will be unusable.

It feels like I'm losing a part of myself.

I feel like a fool for even letting this happen in the first place. I let myself become attached to a tool I didn't even own, run by a faceless corporation! My own art is being held hostage! How unfair! Should it even be called a tool, or a service?

I've been avoiding 3D art lately, focusing on programming and game development. My friends and I started working on a game in the Unity Game Engine. A couple months in, Unity's owners were saying and doing some unsavoury things, so we swapped to the Godot Engine. I feel incredibly lucky that we did because of the Unity drama that followed.

Unity wanted to start charging a fee for every user that installed your game. They wanted this to apply to every Unity game retroactively. This is obviously a stupid idea, and they walked it back, but it begs the question: Do you even own the game you developed? It seems like you don't.

I don't want to let myself fall into this trap again. I feel like we as artists form a personal relationship with our tools, and it shouldn't have to be an abusive one! I want to own my art and tools! That shouldn't be difficult as a digital artist! I've been recommended some proprietary subscription based "tools" by friends recently, and I refuse to use them. I won't let this happen to me again.

I'm going to use as much open source software as I can. Open source software is the only software you can truly "own". You have access to the code, and you can do with it as you please! It's often democratically run by the community! You can distribute it to your friends, and it's not piracy! There's a ton of excellent open source art software out there, and I encourage you to check it out!

Autodesk broke my heart. When I get back into 3D art, I'm going to be learning Blender.

I also feel a little sad because I saw that the last 2 drawings did not have many reactions... I tell you because you understand me and I trust you.

Returning to the topic, I hope you all like this drawing a lot ❤️ remember to follow me on Pixiv 💮You find me as Divine Phoenix 💮 I have the same profile photo.

This is a redraw of one of @yoroke55's drawings. I think I asked him/her a year or two ago if I could trace this, and somehow, I never got around to actually tracing it until now. Since today is the anniversary of this wonderful, adorable, and hilarious cartoon, I wanted to draw each one of my precious dwarfskies, who will always remain in my heart no matter what and no matter how old I get. I can't believe that next year will already be 10 fucking years since this show came out and 2026 will be 10 years since it sadly ended. I still hate that the petition to save the show still doesn't have the amount of signatures it needs.
