Post your first digital painting

#1

It can be a sketch or a full painting but make sure it’s the oldest one you got.

#2

I’m pretty sure it was sth like this :slight_smile:

#3

I only started digital painting about 4 months ago and this is my first attempt with my tablet.

I was just looking to draw anything so I drew a covert dentist.:shrug:

I stuck this over in wip…it was a quick sketch on the wacom (had it for almost a week now) then I decided to try to paint it…

hopefully it will not only get easier, but it’ll get better too… :shrug:

I just started about a month ago. First attempt at a digital painting (Aside from one “pencil” sketch in painter.):

This is at about 60% done. I lost ambition and simplified the wing and polished it off some in photoshop. I just really didn’t like the way it was turning out. Ah well, it was a first attempt.

#7

This is my first painting. I did it as soon as I downloaded Painter IX trial! (I still have 12 days or so left lol) :slight_smile:

#8

You were all so good from the first painting on. I have painted for several months and I still can’t paint as good as you. I have a lot to go through.

#9

This one was my first fully finished digital painting, but I think my case was a bit different because I was already a traditional artist for many years before I started using digital.

#10

This is my first attempt at digital painting, I was quite into drawing manga at the time, this was painted in photoshop with a mouse

This is my first attempt at a more realistic painting with my wacom tablet

This is the very first thing I did with the Wacom tablet I got back in March. I have no clue what it is, but it looks kind a cool. As for “very first one done with a mouse in MS Paint”, I know for a fact that I didn’t save it.

I used MSPaint many years ago on a Win 3.1 486DX to help with this illustration. Although a lot of the work was finalized on paper with a pen, I’d still consider this my first digital illustration because without the computer I don’t think I would have been able to get everything to line up correctly.

Sorry, this one hurts your eyes if you stare at it too long. Inspired by M.C.E. of course. :smiley:

A few years later I scored a Mac with Photoshop 3.0 from a friend and did the coloring of this one with a mouse. Sorry the image is really tiny. This is the only copy of this image that I could find (and yes, I too was seduced by the evil filter effects of Photoshop). :smiley:

well…there are some far more superior first time pics on here than mine… :blush: …but here is my first one that is not yet done; I just got my wacom tablet last week and I need to make some brushes for the fur, as I’m not happy with the brushes I have now but…

and this one I put a little more effort into it but admittedly is not my best but is my first “finished” one.

Umm…his eyes are all black on purpose (it’s a character) and I wasn’t striving for realism, really - but DID utilize Enayla’s tutorials on lips and eyes (didnt see the hair one until after this was finished)
It’s a character in a novel I am working on and it’s not how I see him in my head, so I am going to retry until I get it right. This is what I call serious doodling, but not serious work. lol

I’m still playing and doodling with the various programs: Corel, PhotoShop and PaintShop Pro 9, they were birthday presents and prior to that, I haven’t done anything noteworthy with art for a couple of years and these are my first attempts at digital painting (I used airbrush for the most part, with some color pencil on finer details)

i was… i think 10 years old when i did my 1st digital painting… i don’t even remember of what it was. :smiley:

#19
