So, I have a small question. I'm a traditional artist, and all I've really done digitally is bases and such. I'd like to start converting my traditional art into digital art. What way would be the easier option? I use ibisPaintX and Medibang, though if there were any other free apps that I could use to switch to digital, that'd be a greatly appreciated suggestion too! I might sound like a noob but I figured it'd be better to ask here than anywhere else QwQ

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, use any program that gives you layer options, and then make the layer with your traditional lines "Multiply". Assuming your paper was white, it should work fine. I don't know if medibang has it, but Krita does.

I'll go into more detail. You can use the method that Darklily described to add color to your traditional drawings, but you can also transform your traditional sketches into digital pieces.
I'm going to assume you have a basic knowledge of how layers work. Take a picture of your traditional sketch and import it into your art program. Optionally you can reduce the opacity of the layer your sketch is on. Create a new layer, grab your lineart tool of choice and ink overtop your sketch. You can go back over the lines to make areas thicker, or use the eraser tool to make them thinner and taper your lines to a point.

Once that's done, turn off the sketch layer and make a new layer under the lineart layer. Go ahead and add your color to that layer (or however many layers you need)

Once you get more confident with digital art, you can start doing your sketches digitally to make the process fully digital.

If you're having trouble figuring out how to do something with your program of choice, Google it. There's tutorials for just about everything!

Oh my gosh, Ookami is absolutely a cutie!! And the chibi would be nice as a recolor, but I think the charm for yourself would be better ^^

Also, I have a question, and it's been on my mind for quite a while, but I feel like it's an extremely dumb question-

Is there any good sites for image uploading to get a link? Like, if I downloaded something somewhere but didn't have a link to the pic, where would be a good site to get it?

@David

I always use postimage to get image links from files - though I admit I haven't tried much else.

@Ookami

I love the charm idea! Though maybe you could do both??
