UPDATE: I found a blade thingy and scraped off just enough of the paper that the ink is gone, I colored over it with a colored pencil and it's not super noticeable. I think I might be able to save this after all!

@Hey_Its_Snowy_And_Im_Generally_Confused

do you ever just….color something and then realize
it's on the wrong layer

Yes often

omg yes
Sometimes I’ll be outlining a quick sketch something and then I plan to delete the other drawing and then I realize I did it in the same layer and uGh

I don’t sketch digitally, if I do anything digitally I trace my own art and color them, sometimes for fun.

UPDATE UPDATE: It still looks absolutely terrible, but it's an acceptable level of terrible. I just avoided possibly the worst art disaster I've experienced in a year or more…

I am so sick of the color red (I'm coloring in my earlier sketch of Ladybug. Do you know how much red that is? Hella.)

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

I'm so torn… The painting is a re-draw of some old art, and it looks 4000x better when compared to the old drawing, but it looks like absolute garbage compared to its sketch…?

I needed a reference pic of an apple with lighting underneath it, so I turned the lights in my room off, got a flashlight and did that. Then a bit the apple like you would shove an apple in the mouth of a roasted pig and did some surreal shots with my iPad of my face lit from various angles with a flashlight and an apple in my mouth

OKAY, I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT I'M KINDA ANGRY ABOUT.

You know how one of my drawing tablets is worth $350, right? Well, I'd expect something of that cost to at least last a bit longer than this. I got it in late October, and while the tablet itself is working fine, the tip of the pen has completely flaked off. I know this isn't something I've done, which is what angers me the most. I CAN'T USE THIS PEN BECAUSE IF I PRESS EVEN SLIGHTLY HARD, IT'S GOING TO BREAK OFF THE TIP OF THE PEN NIB.

I don't know what to do about this… The pen would cost $60 to replace, which is about the price of my first tablet.

I never held a drawing pen, I use my finger for digital stuff, or I draw on sketch paper with a writing pencil. I’m not rich, my family is more on the poor side.

I'm pretty sure you can just get replacement pen nibs instead of replacing the entire pen. I'm not sure if that would solve your problem, but it might be worth looking into because it's probably cheaper.

It's not the nib that's broken, it's the actual pen tip, as in the part holding the nib. It just cracked and started flaking off
