Giant Snail vs. Evil Bunny

I have finally got it. I have got my A5 intuos3 and I have been busy getting used to it. The nibs, the blue led, the feel of the surface. Just thinking about it pumps adrenaline. Not much to say apart from how sad I am to know how I wasted my years using an almost non-sensitive volito.

A few random pieces from the last few days. They were originally graphite sketches. I may post them later on.



I am still dependant on starting out on paper first because I'm not very comfortable with sketching with the tablet yet. I am very used to just rotating the paper and using my elbow when using pencil & paper. That is why I have been told to focus on Painter since it has the rotate canvas feature. It looks really good but I feel intimidated. I'm such a wuss.



Well, now I have almost all the tools I need, I don't have an excuse not to work my ass off. One problem I've encountered with my tablet is that it is too good. It's like a lightsaber and I feel like a jawa. How can I use to something so advanced, I almost feel like cheating, that is why I should start using Painter so perhaps it balances the artistic effort on a level where I have to think on a more natural way. I will post more random works soon as I feel more confident.
