Hey Bobo! Thanks a lot for the practice link! Does it work with my tablet, you think? I do practice with figures, but I can always use more!
I'm using GIMP to do everything, and drawing with the standard brush that it starts on. I suspect the sloppy edges you're talking about are due to my own imprecision more than the brush (I'm just now learning how to draw, and learning to color on top of it is challenging), but I can also use the pencil tool instead, or select harder edges for the brush so it doesn't leave too much space. I like fading out to the edges, so I like how the "soft" brush looks, but if I'm leaving too many blank spaces I should certainly stop that! I'm trying to figure out how I like the colors, and that's taking me a while. Coloring is not fun, I hate it. In the beginning (when I was drawing Skye Origins, last year) I was so lazy I was just dumping color in with the bucket tool, which left a white line around everything, so that's probably also part of the sloppiness you're seeing. Took me a while to figure out to create a new layer under the line layer to color with!
So I'll work on that coloring. Thanks a lot!
