Hey folks! My name is Avery, I’ve been making art in Krita for quite some time now, probably since back in 2016. I’m going to use this topic as a showcase of my incomplete/practice work that I do occasionally. As well as some of my old stuff that I made over the years. Everything here is made in Krita, and I will specify if any other tools happen to be used. Feel free to comment about any of the stuff you see here! ---

I made this animation just today! It’s a quick little animated doodle of a robot in a trench coat. ![robot2](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b799a7590dfb33bb321b59c32f78f4094d3fb932.gif) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3c9dc2bb1192826d7a1e2c73e8e201cb2f84bc20.jpeg) I imagine this guy is walking into a coffee shop. 😆 I don’t do 2d animation a whole lot. But recently I got myself for Christmas an XP-Pen Pro 13 Inch screen tablet. And it has made quite a difference in the speed and quality of art I make digitally. Before I used a non digital screen Wacom tablet. And while it worked out great at the time, it was time for an uprade for me. 😁 EDIT: Sorry the animation gif did not upload properly, [but here is a link to it!](https://artavenuecreates.tumblr.com/post/189919786723/i-made-this-animation-just-today-its-a-quick) ---

Can you give the link of the gif uploaded somewhere else, I’ll check what is the issue. ---

Can you review the XP tablet a bit more, specifically the drawing experience, how much if any lag, accuracy, feel and such. ---

I’m using XP-Pen 12 Pro. Got it in September. Really made a difference as well for me. ---

Using my laptop. It lags when I use Krita and other software. It lags when I try to record anything. It shows in the recordings. Maybe because of my laptop. Not sure. ---

I can say that yes… It does lag. But I use a laptop as well so it is to be expected. What I do is go into the settings and turn off the laptop monitor and only leave the tablet screen on, that seems to have the best accuracy and I can paint in 4k pretty well. I have yet to record at the same time. The tablet also has a dial, and I LOVE the dial. I set to work exactly the same as the mouse wheel, so I can zoom in and out and scrub through animation very easily. Honestly, if you don’t have a tablet with a dial, I’m not even sure it’s worth having. 😆 It’s my first tablet ( with a screen ), so overall I think it’s pretty nice. ---

Right. Projecting the tablet as a second screen only helps, as well as setting it as the main display. Dial is very convenient. First screen tablet as well. ---

You will quickly come to see that my style and subject matters are extremely varied in my art. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8402b3a92af6fe9c444ff0a044f76e09df376f27.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/2/26ba8d861fd9c9fc6b3f20c8548fb8bed3845c65.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8d61c4abd1d6fe17ed779482cab8881362c9a27c.jpeg) ---

Character designs from one of my projects. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/97e6215413edcd4e9312214f7d4c17e428e9fea2.jpeg) ---

I like the fox! ^-^ They’re all so cute, especially that purple outfit. Since I don’t know much about these characters, I’m curious to know how you chose the animals that they are? ---

Thanks!! These characters were developed over the course of a couple years, starting with Roy the Rabbit being the first character I created, with the cat and fox (who’s names are undecided) being created to complement him. With the Owl being added last. Each character is intended to have a specific personality type, the Cat being rambunctious and fun, the Fox being worrisome and easily scared, the Owl being grouchy and bored, and Roy simply being kind and empathetic. I can’t say how I chose these animals the way I did, but when I created this cast of characters they just felt right to me. 😁 ( And for those who don’t know these characters are intended for a future web-comic. Fingers crossed I’ll develop it soon. ) ---

I need to share my sketches more often, I always feel weird about showing drawings that I deem unworthy of other peoples attention. To me they are just practice, or throw away drawings. But I started saving them and created this thread so I could get beyond my own self. So anyway, here goes! ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/a/aec1336bc3776f1ab96334554f910fd0c88e214d.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fab4f2b49392c31b78caa4640f4a3a1ca5c62b6b.jpeg) I worry also that without context my sketches don’t make sense to others, so, just to give a little insight, the characters above are from an idea I have for a comic story. A story that I currently am still struggling to make real, but hopefully will eventually get to. Most sketches or drawings I do are of characters that I do intend to use for some kind of story. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9d972a573da1d20d34c7ca4a0fbf3c845720126e.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1ddde5d237e4f4a0af827991e96cbb14645b7dcb.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b0b03c835addc433516a85774b938ea8b5bc11ac.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6f69212f014c12100509c862a2d0a27d9def86ef.png) Random drawings, especially that last one, I guess it’s troll creature? I don’t really know, I just draw weird things/try new styles occasionally. The black and white picture of the voldemort looking guy in the trench coat I think is neat, it’s a design I came up with a little while back, I kinda like it. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9632f852b7063a96ed4c3f70e2bd9cdcc6b3eca1.png) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/00a60339bbeb020ca3ff8e3e42ae487504f1c98d.png) I did a short little comic a month ago called [“Coffee for You”](https://krita-artists.org/t/coffee-for-you-short-comic/3394). It was a short funny comic about two robots. Anyway, after I finished it I thought about the idea of expanding the characters and story into a story based game, a short and simple game, nothing complicated. None the less, I don’t if I am, but it’s an idea I’ll keep in the back of my head, with all the rest of my ideas! ---

Just dropping in some more art. As usual, they are sketches/designs of characters that I’ve been attempting to develop for stories. Or just me practicing through the use of different styles. These characters are much more cutesy/cartoony in style. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1fb40a15cf819de33c0f42da4214bcedf5e03f75.png) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e0637ac17e73e8af1d2ff4c81ddad8df5234c602.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e649b10a70ac19afea1294824fb3c907bc6c11b6.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/843eb9c452513b1c921940cd87ce58b88985bf3f.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/011b4e76229cc6c121edf394b1b0334159d8d21c.jpeg) These are more dark sci-fi themed characters. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/2/24a4b5a07ddefe3647669489e8f1f25f2211f482.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f6cd5881d3ff755536c38a7118e6a969eacc79e6.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1167f0fb32047f3853bff56937a803252831956c.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/2/210eec4c3101c41d827cb5bde38eaa831279b009.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/99f2a498199501c2b968992b0c35d96198db01b3.jpeg) Attempts at a slightly more realistic style.

You’ll often see recurring characters in my drawings, often I draw these characters repeatedly over a period of time because I plan and plot storylines for them either for comics or games. But often they get left in the dust because I never can settle down and write/draw these stories… Which makes me a bit sad, because I feel my characters have a lot of potential. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/7/97d6e2407141bf2637fbffc2efb4713c8c7cc244.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/3/d/3df29890cd12e8ad64d1c0ee2545845eac419082.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/1/0/10ea2dd319ab66d73568dc1c908a0df4d55ef9ea.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/c/ac4a4f8fa530a160376e055cb64b49f075dfec14.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/7/1/713b59da559c8ddc4540eb7997521bbb85ca330d.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/5/2/52c0fc696bcf99816bb5e7a25cd25c6f6f8c70ff.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/2/d/2dde5e7227c6024e604746b8fb3ea65efafe0f8c.jpeg) ---
