Work was perfectly fine with my usual tools, paper, pen, computer, mouse. But neither just work nor routine methods are ever enough to keep the brain full or the mind at ease. I was dwelling on the idea of getting a graphic pad for sometime and bought it the first chance I got. The excitement of using this wonderful, high-tech and much loved by digital artists around the world, tool was so great, I couldn't wait to start scribbling. After a couple of days of playing with my new Wacom Intuos 5 Multi-touch and drawing leaves and flowers and lines not very different in form from a 3 year old who is learning to hold a crayon, I decided to do something more like a grown up. Without having the patience of going through the many instructions I quickly googled for an interesting reference picture and started with my first sketch. Drawing and discarding and drawing and discarding, I managed to gain control on my digital tools. Here is my first stint with the Intuos 5 Multi-touch.
Although this is a fairly basic portrait in a regular style, the process was so fun, I might end up ignoring other media for a long while now. Next on my mind is to explore various pen tips and brushes and develop a good rendering style. Discovering the possibilities of this new tool should be very enjoyable, but nothing can beat the fun of the first time.
And you are back...what an entry...simply awesome!!! all heads down.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work. Skills with talent.
Appreciation in drawing from you counts. I take a bow :)
DeleteAll the time I took in contemplating about buying the Intuos was total waste. It didn't deserve a second thought. This thing is worth every penny.
Its just a start. Once you admire an effort no tool matters. You start seeing the possibilities and challenge the limitation of the tool.

So proud of you, good luck.
That is a drawing of such a super quality. Though I have no idea what it takes to make a good graphic design, that is very good.
ReplyDeleteThe girl is looking back with tentative bemusement. The next second, she will turn her face and stop looking back. This is the moment before that in her life.
unfortunately that expression is not given by me. i drew this from a picture. but i guess i can take the credit for capturing it decent enough :) thank you.
DeleteThe drawing is pretty good. There is lot of craft and fineness there. :)
