Got Painter IX!

Yeah, so I downloaded Painter IX after gettting Digital Painting from Ballistic Publishing (i'm a sucker for that kind of stuff). Anyway, here is me attempting to learn color. Funny how little I learn when I haven't done anything since my last painting class :-P




The first wasn't drawn by me! It was drawn by a coworker as we waisted some time at my job (we have alot of free time that allows us to do homework, among other things). I just painted over his drawing just for the hell of it. The others are me attempting to draw with my tablet and get colors right. I'm not using the eyedrop tool with references or using too many shortcuts on purpose. The more I try to adapt to painting, the better I will get with color and lineart.

Joshua Middleton's Blogg

Just discovered that Joshua Middleton put a link to his blogg on his website. Needless to say, I have read the whole thing. Not trying to be stalkerish, just curious about how he draws. I love his style and have been looking for his stuff ever since I saw a street figher comic that he drew like two years ago. I would love to interview him and see what his life is like, not to mention to ask about his drawing. He even posted some videos that are awesome!

Anyways, I have been drawing some today. Been trying out a non-photo pencil. It has possibilities, but I think I might stick with inking, but ya never know. I may never have to ink again if I do this right. I've been drawing some things from Joshua's site. Been meaning to do that for a while now. I become a building manager tomorrow, so I may be posting alot more photoshop stuff! I can't wait! Let the painting and drawing begin!

Still need to finish my website, hopefully I can get that done this next week.

Back from break with work done!

Well, I am back from Christmas Break, and it sucks to say that I have not finished my website; however, I have been playing around with my drawing tablet alot. These are a few of the things I came up with. I'm still getting used to it. I need to figure out how to blend better, but that will come in time. I will update a little more later, I just wanted to get some stuff on.
