Digital Painting Without Tablet And Touch Pen

Emotionless Baby Girl. By Silvia Nguyen.

Guess what medium I used. 

I painted with my fingers, on my Samsung Galaxy A55.

 

My phone isn't pressure sensitive but the free app MediBang Paint is wonderful enough for an amateur like me to create this cute digital "oil" painting. Highly recommend this app! Highly recommend the phone as well. I bought it in October last year at a good price and so far I have nothing to complain. I only wish it's pressure sensitive so I may buy a touch pen and draw more easily. But this way, I'm forced to paint big shapes instead of lines, which is actually good, according to gurus on YouTube.

The "Emotionless Baby Girl" is me at about 3. I love neutral expressions. I don't like putting on a big smile. I like calm energy.

I actually quit painting more than a decade ago. Because I was sad.

I haven't fully recovered. But I can now paint again, small pieces. 

Look how far I've gone, how long I've fought the darkness in me.
How proud.
How grateful.
