Working on digital art

I got a tablet on the 5th. It's not my very first time trying digital art, but most of my other stabs at it haven't gotten far. Here are a few versions of a drawing of mine to show how things are going.

The traditionally inked version of the drawing of Rawhide's room I did a while ago:

I imported it, digitally inked it and made some changes:

Added flat colors, some shadows and tiny bit of highlights:

I've done a bunch of inking practice over the past week and a half as well. Some of my practice and in progress:

Digital version of my cozy doodle page

Digital version of my Alchemist, still need some tweaks (liking figuring out eyes)

Started working on a D&D character

Inked my version of Buckaroo Banzai's room. Will be making some changes to this as well.

Tons of cute details in this, thanks for sharing!

This is a lovely style!

Thanks!

I love all the tiny details - the rooms have the same fascination as a dollhouse. I remember years ago when I first tried digital art, not knowing how to colour on a layer behind the lineart. At one point I even drew using the pencil as then paint bucket filled each space exactly with no white rim, but the lines were all jaggedy. When I discovered the layers thing I was so happy!

Layers are great! I tried a few times to learn Manga Studio, not Clip Studio, because it seems most suited to what I am trying to do. But I kept having weird fussy issues with layer opacity and mending lines. Couldn't sort it no matter how many tutorials I watched.

I'm using Procreate and hey, at least I managed these so far! I think there are projects I want to do that I can't do in Procreate along, but it's a good start.
