How to get used to your new tablet!This tutorial is by no means a definitive guide, but it should help you with your tablet usage!
1 - First and foremost, don't be afraid of it. You need to use it. Every. Single. Day. Use it to browse the web for example. It'll help you get used to the sensitivity (practice highlighting sections of text), and all of the features of the pen. Some suggest that you should hide your mouse, so you're forced to only use your tablet! Through daily use, it should become an extension of your arm, and begin to move naturally.
2 - Play with it. Mess around with all of the settings your tablet has to offer. Not only will it help you find the settings you're most comfortable with, but it'll teach you what each individual part does. Also play around with it in your chosen drawing program (Photoshop / SAI / etc.), you'll learn more about your tablet and how it reacts to the program's settings (which may be different than what you're used to) - you're undoubte

^{So, I'm working on a new portrait, yes, its Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock! <3

Most of the refs I use for portraits, I usually end up playing around with the colors to make it easier for me to paint with. In most cases, I can stick with the colors as is, but in this case, the pose and scene of my ref was perfect, but the colors aren't. So, I wanted to lighten them up. I can't be the only one looking for a good ref and this problem comes up, so I thought I'd share my "not-so-secret" secret to fixing up images to reference from!

Hope this is useful for anyone else out there. And hopefully I succeed in making a nice painting/portrait of him when I'm done! Will update later when its finished!}
