Description
Since I can't afford any Wacom tablet, I might as well make the best of what I have now: My Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro and an app called SketchBook Express.
Here's a little story behind this drawing:
On occasions, I'm a little envious (still am) when I see fellow artists getting a new Wacom tablet. On one particular day last year, I thought to myself: "Is there another alternative to doing digital art without the pain of using a mouse?" and started searching for free drawing apps on my phone which to me had the closest feel to drawing on an actual tablet.
That's when I discovered SketchBook Express and was having high hopes to finally be able to draw digitally. However, being the idiot that I am, I didn't discover the zoom function until a month or two after downloading it. Since then, I've been drawing and painting many digital works you see in my gallery. Which I finally came to the conclusion that you don't really need a tablet to do great art (although on occasions that's not the case), you just need a lot of time to practice and just keep doing what you love.
Done in SketchBook Express for Android with my finger.

Awesome! Didn't know you could do all that on a phone. Well I've always had outdated phones anyways so I doubt my phone can handle it.
I only use my phone for music, time, texts, and phonecalls. Otherwise I hardly touch it.
Anyways, hope to see more of your art soon men. Hope you'd get back into making those Paper Doll s as well.

I didn't at first too. Guess it just takes a little exploration and practice!
Yeah, the app does take a fair amount of RAM on your phone. No worries, you will get the chance to try it out one day!!
Hope I can create more too, just been very very busy with my university work and all. As for the paper dolls, I will when I have my papers and colour pencils at hand!('-^) I'm far from home after all.

I own a real drawing tablet now anyways. I just haven't got around to making it work on my program yet.
Didn't know you're at university, what are you studying?
