Drawing tablet art

Hello! It's another art topic from yours truly.
Now I bought myself a drawing tablet during the Summer holidays (Winter for you Americans, and the tablet is a Wacom Intuos) and I've been drawing some stuff with it. So I decided to stockpile it here. Some of it's on my DeviantART page, but the rest is here.

I have a ton more, but that's it for now. More coming soon!
Oh, and please don't forget to leave feedback!

In all honesty, these don't look very good. There's no shading and the curves on the bottom two are really wonky.

Make a shading in a tablet is haaard
Wait
An image doesn't need any shading uh -_- (if you make a cartoonish image :/ )
Looks nice and detailed, Especially the papyrus ones. Good job ;)

Cartoons often have some kind of shading or at least line weight.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm still getting used to the tablet and I'm not really the best at shading anyway.

The last one is the worst in my opinion, since I didn't use layers on that one.

After a long time... I haven't gotten many drawings done.
But I have been redrawing some sprites from Pokemon Red and Blue!

Golbat (I forgot to colour in one of his eyes, lol. You can't see it, since it's transparent, but it's not actually coloured white.)

I'm hoping to eventually draw all the Red and Blue Pokemon sprites, but that's kinda difficult, especially when I can't find a decently-sized image of Ivysaur, GOOGLE.

Anyway, enjoy my art.

Asking out of curiousity, what tool are you using, and are you using its stabilization function?

The tool I'm using is CloudAlpaca, and what do you mean by "stabilisation feature"?

Most painting tools that directly support tablets also come with a "Pen Stabilisation" feature. That is, they simulate friction on the pen, so your strokes are processed slower, this allows for more accurate lines.

The one on the left had 10 stabilization, the right had 0. It makes a difference.

If your software has one, you should consider using it, alongside detecting pen pressure, which shrinks or enlarges your lines based on the pressure you put on the pen.

Well, I'll have to check later. I already use pen pressure.

Just a question, though- how would stabilisation improve on my art? To be honest, it just looks like the program made the edges of the line triangular, and a bit straighter.

Not my best example, as I had to exaggerate a little, but yeah, I feel way more comfortable with stabilisation.
