Trying something new today. My tablet skills are rusty as well, so it took a while to do this one, however, showing the picture next to the drawing is much easier, and you can see the drawing with much better clarity now. 
It is a little set back when it comes to line quality and likeness, but it is much more promising.
I was asked to come up with a drama filled inspiring drawing, fit to be screen printed, the concept is the pawn that promotes, who is on it’s way to there; who looks like just a pawn but his royal spirit is reflected in his shadow.
Here is a sketch for it, I am trying to explore shadows and highlights in one color, no shading, or gray scaling
While waiting for something, I had a little time to explore the perks of having a tablet, with the sketchbook app and a little stylus, nothing fancy about it. Different mediums take time to dominate, so it feels like I’m starting all over again, playing with some shadows over the same concept sketch, this is the result:
Not quite fit for screen printing, but really good practice
I see these amazing finger paintings on you tube, and I kind of feel like the little pawn on his way up hill, determined to conquer the road in front of him.
Have you had any experience drawing with the new technology?
Any practice doodles you recommend?
Lets hear them in the comments!
Have you ever stopped doing something for whatever reason, and when you started doing it again realized how much you missed it?
It is almost like you had forgotten how something let’s call it mundane, brings joy to your life. In my case it brings joy, disappointment, anger, makes me proud, makes me humble, makes me realize how hard I still need to work on somethings and it inspires me to persevere.
I know, it sounds crazy right? but it is in enjoying the little things that you find happiness, even when those little things make you realize something needs improvement.
Here is a little sketch that I hope to finish in a digital format. i’ll probably make the pieces bigger and the body a little smaller.
