Among my hobbies is spinning yarn, and I finished this one just in time for New Year's! Details for people who care= 8 ply Merino/Alpaca blend, super bulky weight. I haven't weighed it yet so I don't know for sure how many yards are in it but I believe 500 is a good estimate. |

This is mostly for curiosity's sake, but how does one go about drawing digitally? What kinds of programs are used? Is a drawing tablet necessary? I've been curious since it seems a lot of webcomics are drawn digitally and I'm curious about the whole process. Sorry if this is the wrong thread, I figured someone here would know.

For software, the well-known commercial product is Photoshop but there's also The Gimp, and Paint.net, both of which are free. And those are just the ones I (not much of an artist) know off the top of my head.
It's theoretically possible to use MS Paint, but... just go get one of the others. Trust me on this.
A lot of webcomics are produced in a hybrid process, where part of the work is done on paper and then it's scanned and finished in one of the above programs. Some are done entirely on paper, then scanned and published. (There are even a few where *physical props* are positioned and photographed, then the photos are edited and published.)
At the opposite extreme, some webcomics are produced with 3D-modeling software. Daz3D and Poser are what I know the names of in that area.
One of the biggest advantages of good drawing software over paper or MS Paint is LAYERS. A layer is basically like an absolutely-transparent (unless you choose otherwise) additional piece of paper that you can lay over your drawing and then draw on, leaving the layers underneath untouched. So you can draw some guidelines, put another layer on top, draw according to the guidelines, then *completely* remove the guidelines by hiding or deleting that layer. Also you can move or resize a layer independently of other layers. Use layers. Use them a lot. If in doubt, add another layer.
As for a drawing tablet... if you're going to draw directly on the computer, it's a good idea (but not mandatory). The later in the process you move to the computer, the less it matters. A common touchpad probably won't do because its drivers detect movement, not location. I have a low-end drawing tablet. Somewhat higher up, you can get a drawing pad with a pressure-sensitive stylus. Higher-end, one with a tablet-computer-like screen so you can see what you're drawing directly under your stylus (there ought to be software like this for tablet computers - I *have* software on my Android tablet that lets me use it as an additional screen for my computer, and software that lets me use it as a low-end drawing tablet, but so far I haven't found software that does both at the same time, granted that I haven't looked for it in over a year); and at the top, you get that display WITH a pressure-sensitive stylus. The higher end you go, the more like drawing on paper it is and probably the easier it is to get over the initial learning curve.

Ursula Vernon said in an interview she never learned to draw non-digitally; she started out digitally. |

I've been curious since it seems a lot of webcomics are drawn digitally and I'm curious about the whole process. Sorry if this is the wrong thread, I figured someone here would know. If you didn't already know... The time lapse videos of Tom drawing the covers for Traveller and Volume 5 are quick ways to watch the process Tom uses, but they don't include any explanation of what he is doing. Tom posted the full length live stream of him drawing the cover of Volume 5 with occasional audio commentary and answers to viewers questions, but it is two hours long. You can turn on the Q&A to see the viewers questions (select the tic-tac-toe / rubric cube icon in the upper right corner of the player to then select Q&A) and clicking on the questions takes you to the time in the video when it was asked. Tom starts the live stream with a list his drawing stages: Sketch/Plan, Final Sketch, Inks, Colour, and Formatting. |

Ok, first time poster, reader since the beginning! The wife did a coyote piece and I was overjoyed, had to share it with you all. NSFW-ish, so spoilered. p.s. My coyote tattoo incoming tomorrow when I'm not about to go into work. |

My coyote tattoo incoming tomorrow when I'm not about to go into work. Welcome to the forum! Hopefully we'll see you around more often. I love the art - your wife is an amazing artist, though I assume she's aware |

This is perfect, and Coyote is much pleased, yes yes! You shall be treated as the guest of honor in My domain. You shall be My chronicler, and carry the image of My glory to all those who lack such knowledge! I salute the fine artist who has so captured Me, yes yes yes!! |

I guess the musical adventures of Antimony Carver will keep coming for a while. This one's inspired by last chapter's slow attempts at reconnecting with the ether.

Not fanart precisely, and not mine...but here's a good picture of Reynard the Fox (the original version from the fable):  This is what I imagine Rey in his fox form looking like. That smirk  (Credit: Kenket, via Deviantart.) |

I made a portrait of Annie. I guess this must be from before she cut her hair:  |

I saw this thread and .... it inspired me to make a couple sketches. I didn't bother cleaning them up after my initial bursts of enthusiasm. The first shows Reynardine in his wolf form and his fox body, with Antimony separating the two and Coyote watching over them from the ether. I might redraw this at some point because I'm not satisfied with it.  The second shows my interpretation of possible events during Annie's first trip to the forest.  If you want larger scans for whatever reason you can find them here: Image 1(fullsize)Image 2(fullsize) |
