Digital work

A while ago I started trying to get to grips with using a tablet and my PC to paint and draw...it's not as easy as Xia at idrawgirls.com makes it look!

I'm trying my best to figure out what I want my paintings (I mean digital ones here incidentally) to look like. I don't mean are they going to be of a tree or a girl or a monster or whatever, I mean are they going to be manga, phot0-real (chance would be a fine thing!), comic etc etc etc.

Anyhow everytime I see some art by one of the many artists I follow, I think, yeah that's the style for me. There then follows a period of frantic activity which results in me concluding that the particular style in question perhaps isn't for me and I go back to looking through cool portfolios of other artists work...

So, in the end I thought, I just need to get better (quite a lot better to be honest). That means practice. Practice, practice, practice.

I'm going to let you in on it...I normally would never show anything I didn't think was good enough for public consumption but this is meant to be cathartic so here goes...



Comments welcome...(be gentle!)
