۰ ibis paint x tips & tricks ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) ✦— a (hopefully) helpful thread for my fellow artists out there!
before i start let me say that i am fairly new to digital art and there's a high chance you probably know all these tricks BUT someone out there is yet to venture the world of digiart so these may be "basic" to you, but it may be a game changer to others! so pls be respectful! ♡
i'd also like to add that this is fast paced (unintentionally a little "too" fast paced") so i recommend you slow it down, pause at certain parts, or rewatch! if you don't understand something/have more questions, feel free to dm me! lets go! ꒰◍ˊ◡ˋ꒱੭⁾⁾ ♡
1. SUBSCRIBE TO IBIS PAINT ON YT!
- they post simple, straight to the point, and subbed tutorial videos that help BIG TIME. my standards were low but they proved me wrong! their vids are very helpful esp for beginners. pls check their channel out!
