This evening I have been mostly trying to get to grips with both a graphics tablet for the first time, and Manga Studio.
It is possible that I bit off more then I could chew. I’m really not sure whether I’m using either thing to their best capability, and it may be that I’d still do better drawing conventionally. Still, both were big fun, and I definitely think the tablet is something that I’ll want to use lots more.
I’ll be honest, my first couple of attempts with drawing freehand went badly… not sure if it was nerves, or just a badly organised workspace, but whichever it is, I ended up tracing from a couple of photos, just to get used to the tools.
I was going to tell you all about it, but the resize job that the site is doing to fit the images on the page is completely knackering them. If you’re interested, head over to my Flickr account (link in the image below), to see the different stages of this Work In Progress:
