First tablet drawings

[Gamer_V]

So I got myself a shiny tablet to draw with. First thing I noticed was that something which I could draw in 10 minutes using a pencil takes hours to draw with a tablet. Anyway, it's fun. Bad puns! (in Dutch)  I couldn't get pen pressure to work, which means I should probably switch to Gimp or something. It's hard to draw straight lines with it and it tends to look really pixely.





Anyway, I'm a bit lost at this second picture. It's some dead guy in a coffin. He just doesn't look that great, and it's not just that he's much lighter then the surroundings. Maybe he isn't detailed enough or just looks too much like paint was used .. I get the idea the basic anatomy is correct though (except the head). Any pointers on improvement?

Actually, I think your second image looks much improved over the first.  The general shape and color scheme of the character look very nice.  If anything, I would change the coffin to look more like a coffin instead of a bunch of blue lines and weird greens.  Make the interior padded white, give him a pillow, make it LOOK like a coffin and he'll fit in just fine.

I don't know. Second picture it's something hard to draw, and the way you did it makes it easy to see what's going on at a first glance. Unless that's not supposed to be a guy in casual clothes on the top of a coffin, 'cuz that's exactly what I'm seeing here.

Still, if you want to improve it...  I would say that the biggest problem are the armpits: they don't arch like that. Actually, relaxed upper arms are usually well stuck to the torso.

Something like:
