I bought a new phone, and here's the first drawing I did on it.

avatar

Nearly two months ago, I bought a new phone (impulsively). It's a lavender Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I initially wasn't hoping to buy it... but who was I kidding. Like what one of my friends keep saying, "If you've been thinking about purchasing something for over a week, just buy it already."

While I already have a tablet I happily use for drawing (sometimes), I thought it would be great if I can use the S23U the way I did with my Note 10+.

however...

I got really busy since buying the phone. From attending a conference, to managing systems migrations, to writing codes... I just couldn't catch a break. The times that I did, I used it to hang out with my close friends, and buy good food.

Over the few months I wasn't active, I actually took the time to enjoy a variety of food. I particularly got hooked on Marugame Udon.

But finally, after a long, long time, I got to grab the pen and start drawing again. I did this earlier today, while playing hooky from work (just for a while, please).

the drawing

It took me just under 2 hours. I really think this could be better -- but part of me said it's actually already good enough.



It's based off this photo, but I took the liberty to just have fun with it and see where it would take me. I particularly had a hard time with it... I'm not sure why. I think it's the skin. Or the lighting. Or the hair.

Maybe all.

Or... I think it's because it's a new phone, and I wasn't able to configure the Medibang brushes I usually use according to how I normally would. The app also saw a huge update since I last drew, and I felt like somewhat blindly painting on it.

I ended up kind of liking it, though. How about you, what do you think?

Drawing on the phone at the beginning is very strange, even more when you are used to a tablet but, with time you get used to it. Courage, little by little you will make better illustrations with your phone. Best regards.

i used to draw a lot on my phone, then transferred to tablet when i got one. it was disorienting. 😵 now that i try to draw on my phone again, it's become quite difficult to get used to.

thank you so much for the encouragement!!! 💕

It is like this. I hope you will soon adapt and be able to continue publishing your illustrations. Best wishes.

Congratulations on your purchase! Oh, well, at least someone needed a spen 😄 I noticed that the owners of the s22 ultra complain that they don't need a spen. When the owners of galaxy folds complain that Samsung again did not make a spen for them😄

hahaha! so true. before the s23u, i used note 10+ --- and i almost always use the spen! it's very useful especially in the work setting, like scribbling on calendars or taking notes when ambushed for surprise meetings in hallways. 🤣
