Graphics Tablet Adventures
I got hold of a Graphic Tablet this week, thanks to my mate Luke. I had thought that it would make life soooo much easier. Now don’t get me wrong, I like to get my pens, pencils and ink out but I also like my computer and/or Laptop and having been introduced to devientart.com and other digital artwork, Iheld hopes that a graphics tablet would speed up my work process.
So I started by ‘having a go’. I spent about an hour and a half playing with this new toy, and I actually really enjoyed it. As it happens i htink it may be a nice way of roughing aout ideas to be taken and done as ‘handcrafted’ art work on paper, or maybe as a way of changing my original artwork which I scan in and work on. Having done the later, on numerous occasions with a mouse, this graphics Tablet is a god send.
I saved the work at a few different stages to show my progress. The final jpg is by no means the finished article. Having said that I may well be able to use this technique to work out some rough character sketches for Luke, more quickly than i previously thought.
Hello world!
About
I am an illustrator currently wearing the hat of a mature student studying a Multi-media Graphics Design Degree and I am basing one of my projects within the secondlife paltform and I have a few other projects in mind which presented themselves as possibilities the longer I spent ‘in world’.
Well as my first post went, that wasn’t too painful. There is so much to learn and so little time, really. I hope, in the months to come that this blog will at the very least be a testemony on how not to do things, and possibly, hopefully a place to read about how well things can go too.
That’s about it, Back to RL for a while.
