Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful answer! I'll get her to read this... and to just get practicing. Part of the problem is that her Windows laptop doesn't have an HDMI port, and her Mac Mini only has one... so we're forced to use my old Chromebook. I'm thinking of switching it over to Linux, but I'm just not sure which move will give her the best shot of enjoying it.
I bought her the tablet for her birthday this year because she is a very artistic person... so we'll upgrade later if she really gets into it. I appreciate the input. I'll keep you posted on her progress. 😀
I can't comment on mac and Linux as I never had any experience using those :P
But the answer still remains, no matter what the tools are, the quality will still be dependent on the artist's level. I have seen people master ms paint and blows my mind how they can make the most of the simplest tools. That's where mastery really shows.
Going to be bias on the Wacom products as these are often what I see pros often use, at least the ones I follow often have setup but got 16 inch screens to work with. I think she just needs to "master" her setup first then proceed to do art things like drawing shapes, scribbles, without actually committing to the work because it's more of getting a feel for the routine. Wishing luck to the both of you~
Perfect. I think that's the most sound advice that you could possibly give her. It truly is entirely about how talented and passionate the person is... not the tool. Practice makes (damn near) perfect.
Many thanks, @adamada. She'll be reading all this, and I will get her to follow along and ask questions if she has them. 😄
No problem, she can also ask @ryivhnn if she needs help with art things, ryiv has more wisdom to offer on that regard. Have a good day :)
Thank you! :)
