I just got a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch. It’s small, ergonomic and beautiful. And i’ll probably be doing a lot more drawing and animating as a result.
Above is an unfinished sketch of the local landscape here. Features are missing. I will probably do different versions of this scene, as it changes with the light, fog, weather, etc.
Below is a portrait that I gave up on, unsatisfied. But I’ve come to believe that it’s better to do lots of quick sketches than to chase individual ones around until I get frustrated and demotivated.
I think the reason I’m not completely satisfied with it is because I started drawing it before I really knew what I wanted to do with it. It’s helpful, with anything, to know what you want before you begin.
