Wacom sketch 1


This is only a doodle, but its essentially the first thing I've ever drawn on my recently aquired wacom board. Its pretty much naff, but using the device is like learning how to draw all over again, only this time with experience. The biggest drawbacks so far are the full arm movements for the bigger areas, and drawing diagonals which are amazingly difficult to control.

The experience reminds me of the first time I used an airbrush.. That was also a mysterious and expensive device which promised wonders if only I could get the hang of it. The difference is, with all the masks and scalpel work, an airbrush takes a long time to use, where as this is much quicker by far. I'll post more as I learn.
