I want to start digital drawing but don't have the money for a tablet or a good program, so I would like some tips on how to draw with a mouse... Well, this is a start.
If you back down from things you consider "too hard" you will never improve. Who cares if you color it and it looks bad? Learn from it. Perhaps that way of coloring didn't work for you, next time experiment, find out something that does work.
@Kitagawa You're right I'm only making up excuses for myself. I tried once and gave up cause it looked like trash, but the only way I got better at drawing with a pencil was by practicing. Perhaps I just need to take baby-steps.
