Drawing for people on Chatroulette

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, Chatroulette

I 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 Cutting

For 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
