OSU! used to make straighter lines as Beginner Digial-Artist (No-Screen Tablet)

This is an actual question, does playing osu help with dexterity and learning how to draw Confident shapes when a complete beginner to digital?

I have 300+ hours on osu!, playing with a screenless tablet. Personally it didn't help me much on drawing, my hand-eye coordination from osu! contributed somewhat, but I still need time to get used to drawing with the tablet.

Honestly you would be better off just drawing more on tablet. Adjust the stabilizer settings in your drawing app if you still have trouble making straight lines. Also, if your tablet is too small, you might have trouble using your shoulders to make confident lines, so if you can get a bigger one.

Thank you for the explanation and honest reply I watched a video on Youtube saying how everyone who's a beginner should basically be doing osu if they want to get better at drawing when using digital for the first time

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

This is one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.

If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.

P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
