I bought a new graphics tablet recently
So I thought I'd draw a stormtrooper and post it here.
Yeah, I know the color splotches and shadows look unnatural. Gimme some more time to practise with it. It's 100% digital, btw. Sketched and colored in the computer.

Thanks Spanky & Cosmo.
Here's a link to the specs. This here is a picture of the tablet still in the box:
The smear on the plastic is chocolate from my son's fingers. The price as you can see in the picture is 330 ringgit. Which is just under a 100 bucks.

It's actually just a hardware that replaces the mouse in function, except that it has the extra feature of pressure as an input variable. If it's plugged in I can use it to open web pages, pull drop down menu, click on buttons, scroll just like any mouse, except that you're holding a stylus on the tablet.Lord Poe wrote:Do those tablets have things like MS Paint would have? Like straight line tools, fill tools, etc?
Coming back to your question, Wayne, you can use the tablet with MS Paint, but bundled with the hardware is a program called Painter Classic which is of course several orders of magnitude better than MS Paint.
Ah, thanks! Dalton turned me on to these things some time ago, but I still havent bought one.Old Plympto wrote:Coming back to your question, Wayne, you can use the tablet with MS Paint, but bundled with the hardware is a program called Painter Classic which is of course several orders of magnitude better than MS Paint.

Very nice work!
I remember when I first got a tablet (Intous 2 or however it's spelled) and simply squealed with joy . They're awesome, aren't they? With practice you can get some super effects, and I see you're already working at in.
Something I might advise though, is stick with your monochromes like Batman for a bit (it really helps as you get the hang of pressure and value on computer), and also, if you're ever thinking of a new programme, Open Canvas 4 is actually a VERY good, very, very cheap one that you can download and activate online. It's what I use for my digital work (granted I haven't done any for a while...)

"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia
