Playing
around with the tablet I’ve borrowed!
It’s
extremely difficult for me to get used to that thing, but I’ve given up trying
to do “pencil” drawings with it, that’s just too alien, but I can at least try to “paint”.
I loaded up some of my old quick sketches and tried out this painting business.
After a lot of bitching and whining I got advised to check out Ctrlpaint.com
for some basic tutorials and yeah… that worked, it’s fun how you can go from a
feeling of absolute despair and frustrating to “this is kinda fun”, but yeah at
least now I could have some fun and not worry about bloody line sketching with
it.
I’ll prolly
try and do some lines with it again (no nooo - not those sorta lines... grow up!), maybe it’s just some matter of building up
a familiarity with the new tool, dunno.
Anyway, my
first project was some bananas. I didn’t really know how to approach it, but
even if it felt stupid I had the feeling of learning on some basic level at
least.
One thing I
discovered though – colors are great and painting is super fun! :P
Next I just
wanted to keep going in the same track, so picked up a sketch of some citruses or oranges, not
sure which term is correct lol, it's supposed to be citruses but my color “palette” decided it was oranges for me!
:P
