I remember back in elementary school when we used a mouse with a rubber ball on a cloth pad and "drawn" with it in MS Paint in Windows 95. The graphics could be used for pixel art. I think they were still Pentium 3 computers. But of course that's prehistoric...I'm a Boomer :)

Honestly a lot of people complain about not having the resources like a drawing tablet or a ipad and I also used to complain abt that a lot, but I think it doesn't really matter when you don't have those stuff when it comes to digital art. I myself have been drawing for a long time with a mouse. At the start, it used to be difficult but now it's not as much. Although if you have a slow pc like me, programs like krita don't run well on pc. But one of my favourite mouse friendly programs got to be fire alpaca! It doesn't lag at all but it mostly depends on your canvas size. And the best of all? The fact it runs properly on older computers! I learned that to draw well on pc, all you need is a art program which has the *stabilizer* feature, and the control of your mouse. I used to do the lineart process as shown in this video with paint tool sai, (the lining feature for paint tool sai is the best! and you can easily change the thickness of the lines pretty well!) but then I decided to switch to trying to draw by myself since the process for that is kind of boring imo, and I've grown to improve a lot. drawing with a mouse is doable, all you need is the right programs and overtime practice!

In CSP. The pen tool has different curve settings. Use quadratic bezier and not the spline setting. It's just as good as PS.

For CSP I adjust the levels and the saturation then just go to Edit, Scroll down to Convert brightness to opacity, to remove everything except the black line art.

doing line art/ sketch using a mouse is doable, but it does take some time to get used to it. I draw in PS using mouse and i think its fine, nice video, it gave me another option on how to draw stuff

I tried this out on photoshop and this works rlly well with my art style it looks better then the best drawing i have done, i just regret not finding this video earlier

that is actually insane and incredible WOW.

ooooo I had no idea about the color gamut feature in csp, i think this is the tool i have been longing for!

Drawing with a mouse can be difficult (or easy, depending on the difficulty), and it’s cool that you are one of the some who can finish it. Cool artwork!

Oh, hello. It's my first finding of someone talking about drawing with the mouse, nice.

Lol got Krita a while back but never really used it due to real life crap getting in the way. Nice to see something I got being used.

Look, i have drawn using a mouse for a year when i first started my art journey, it can work, but Drawing tablets help you a lot, and there are a lot of cheap ones, i remember buying my first Wacom intous tablet 3 years ago it was something like 70 dollars, if you can afford that or even maybe saving up money for it, Please please do it!, you dont need professional tools at all, ALWAYS REMEMBER that you can always improve your skills even by just drawing on a sketch book with just a pencil, you can draw with a mouse, but please dont do it it will take you 3x the time it need to finish the drawing, please just save up even 5 dollars a week and get one.

Thank you so much for showing in other art programs as well outside of CSP 😭✨✨

Nice vid but, cheap pen tablet exist. And for digital artist pen tablet helps like A LOT and make things easier. The cheapest one I know is Huion h420 or Goojodoq 8 inch drawing tablet. They're just around $25 usd

I've always wondered how ppl do it!! I used to draw on ms paint with a mouse but it looked terrible.

Hii i really wanna learn digital art but my mom won't enroll me to a art school and I'm having a hard time to follow tutorials because maybe their too fast or too hard to follow so ill ask is your class101 free for everyone or do I have to pay for it?

You didn't mention.. we could use a pencil......

Just use hand when?

This video makes me motivated to sketch with a mouse

2:49 Me who does everything on a mouse, even the drawing itself: 🤡

พี่เป็นคนไทยไหมครับ สงสัยจัง❓

Why though, you can get a used tablet for 20 dollars, anything is better than a mouse
