Here is the art I have created for it so far:

bts-grayscale

Some grayscale tonal pieces. The mountains, houses and the shows, and the title.

june18

I have a new Wacom drawing tablet. It’s a intous pro small. It worked straight out of the box with my Raspberry Pi running Rasbian. I’ve been quite busy drawing with it over the past week and a half. Here are the results, including some older works.

12monkeys

Season 3 of 12 Monkeys is on Netflix so I watched it and drew this. I had already seen season 3 but I’ve watched s1/2 multiple times already so why not.

Background

artctrl-thumbs

Assets for the site. Likely won’t use it for anything but a good warm up. Thumbnail images.

colortest

Testing enabling opacity pressure. This is a change from size pressure. Opacity pressure will save me time when doing tonal works as i can get light to dark with pressure rather than changing color manually.

dotflower

My friend painted a flower so I painted a flower.

flower

Again, more flower studies.

football

I have been watching a few of the world cup games and drew this when watching them.

Request from a friend. Hedgehog.

amazon

This was created at the aws meetup in Sydney. It was the 2nd time I had attended the meetup and likely the last. The meetup doesn’t really interest me and I find the talks to be too dry and sponsored. The people are ok. I might attend the aws summit in April.

m2gallery

I went to a digital art gallery opening on Friday night. I came prepared with my digital drawing setup. I had lots of interest in it with plenty of artists (and non artists!) giving it a go. There was others there using Wacom products - though they were on a much bigger scale and not open source.

m2-cat

Cat drawing. This was drawn after the gallery event outside a bar that wouldn’t let me in. The girl that drew it was great. Randoms on the street, creating art.

m2-flowers

Rose flower during the gallery opening. Certainly one of the more talented drawings of the evening.

m2-hello

The hello world of digital drawing on my setup.

m2-lines

lines and a heart

m2-portrait

Portraits. Some of them may be of me - I was holding the pi/screen and artist holding wacom/pen and drawing. I would like to think they are portraits of me. Few wine glasses, which is appropriate since so much wine was consumed.

m2-robot

robots at the gallery. One of the only pieces of the night that I created.

m2-socute

so cute. these two girls had a dlr camera so I started talking to them about photography. They ended up drawing this. I like the four legged animal they drew - is it a horse or dog?

m2-squggle

This was created by two children. Anyone can use my setup. It’s impossible to make a mistake.
