Slow slow progress

Still re-learning how to use a tablet. This time, you get teeth. :P

Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek at something that I've been working on in the mornings this past week. I've been pretty lax on the art this week because I've wanted to sleep in before work, but I really need to make myself get up, because I love getting pieces done. I think I've spent a couple hours working on this one. Been trying to figure out how to use the tablet efficiently and effectively. I figure I'll spend many more hours on this one. :)

New Tablet Jitters

For my birthday, I got this amazing Intuos 4. I haven't handled a tablet seriously since my sophomore/ junior year... so I'm a bit out of practice. But I thought I'd try to post the stuff I'm working on.

Most everything I do now is for fun. No commissions on the table - besides a website - so my creativity is allowed to roam free. I'm thinking of doing a series of color studies because my grasp of color is really quite elementary. ...also because I'd like to do some canvases for my new apartment, and I usually practice quite a bit before I commit to something like a canvas.

So here's a 45 minute sketch based loosely off of the principles I learned from my Albatross painting. My first sketch on the new tablet.
