Greetings!
I've been researching many artists recently, following their blogs and the like, and seeing many people here talk about digital art, tablets, etc spurred my artistic desire. I decided to blow the dust off my Wacom tablet and try my first legitimate foray into digital drawing.I don't actually know what model it is, I know only that it's 5+ years old. But it has a large drawing area which I enjoy.I'm slowly adjusting to using the tablet, and the awkwardness is subsiding.Like Ninji did, I had a bit of a doodle.So, ChatrouletteI remember seeing someone here mention that they were drawing pictures for people on Chatroulette, and I've since been eager to give that a go, having gotten somewhat familiar with my tablet. So I downloaded Manycam, opened Paint.NET (hey, at least it does the job), and was ready to go.The very first fellow I was paired up with asked me to draw a pony. After I refused he asked for duck, and that I name him Andy:The next taker asked me to draw a woodpecker, it took a bit of referencing:One kid asked me to draw a pony again, when I denied the request, he asked that I try to draw a Nyan Cat:By my final request I was quite tired out, after many disconnections and several ponies later, Someone told me to draw the Mona Lisa. "Anything else?" said I, "Either draw the Mona Lisa or a dick with balls" said my partner. So I jokingly hybridised the two:Yes, I drew a Mona Lisa with balls.You have no idea how many times I got asked to draw ponies. If anyone asked for anything of an equine nature, I would next that sucker like they were a horny cammer.So, yeah, that was fun. Great speed drawing practice and a good way to expand my visualcabulary.Paper CuttingFor an visual art assignment.I'll be making about 3 more of these, one of them being a lantern.
Cintiqs are pretty cool, I hope to own one someday but I'd want the $2000 one =p I'd imagine by the time I can get one years and years from now the price will either be a bit lower or they will have made them even fancier =D
