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.

Again, more flower studies.

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

wasted votes: all those drunk and stoned votes.

I have a new Wacom Intous. It’s more sensitive than my old one. It’s also less damaged. My old Wacom Intous (which I got in 2014) was chipped away and stained. Something new is nice! I hope whoever finds my old Wacom puts it to use :)
