A note about gadgets!

Im not sure if this really fits into the normal learning log part however it does line up with experiances with new medium/materials and general exploration. so im going to stick it in anyway!

So after a lot of humming and harring i finally took the plunge and bought a most coverted Cintiq Companion.
for those of you new to the realm of digital painting Wacom manifactures probably the most accurate drawing tablets avalible today. they range in size and basically facilitate drawing with a stlyis straight on to the screen.

they have now combined this technology to create the compantion which is a mixture of a drawing tablet and a full on pc in 13inch format.
So anyhoo the following pics where all sketched on said tablet!


I have to say that after messing around with settings and getting all my stuff on to it, the device is absoulotoly awsome. I use it mainly for sketching out new items before transfering it to my bigger cintiq.
Ive also been exploring more of a messy form of sketching trying to get more life into my peices.
The ballerina mostly turned out better her right shoulder bugs me though i dont think the negative space is quite right and her left arm is not really finished.


The below is ok i like her torso, her right arm is a bit wrong i think and her hands, oph nuff said on the hands!




Random ladybird, i dont know why but i love drwing lady birds. anyhoo was playing with the light values over the top of the shell. or is it carapiece on a bug?!
