More Practice Doodles

I did some practice doodles!
I tried my pen and paper sketching style on the new tablet, and it worked really well! Flash might not be the best program for it, so after drawing the tree guy I drew the Pikachu and golem guy in Manga Studio, which might be what I sketch stuff in from now on. We shall see, but it looks like I can probably quite comfortably replace my traditional art supplies, so that’ll give me some extra space.

Cintiq Practice

I upgraded my old Bamboo Fun tablet and got a Cintiq 13HD!

It was incredibly awkward to use at first, as expected, but I’ve started to get used to it after only a few hours, so that’s a good start. It feels weird going back to a more natural style of drawing again. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have your hand blocking your drawing, and it’s a shame that the resolution doesn’t match my monitor (I wasn’t ready to splash on the super expensive QHD one). But we’ll see how it goes. I’ll give it a few weeks and let you guys know if it was worth getting or if it’s just an expensive toy.
