A Ghost of Daisies

I was feeling a bit morose while drawing.

Aveline from the story I share with Shiver.

I’m so out of practice. These are two characters I share with Shiver.

From a secret story between Shiver and me.

I think this is my best coloring job to date. It wasn’t until I zoomed out did I realize his hair is too close to his eyebrows. The video of the progress is below.

I snuck in some time between homework and attending class to practice using the tablet.

I’m trying to get in a drawing done on the tablet every other day. Since school started last week, I’ve been slacking between all the readings. This drawing was actually inspired by my LIS 654 reading about how to understand students as a school librarian.

Done on the tablet tonight in Photoshop. The process can be viewed here:

Also, Shiver went back and drew the official version.

As a present to myself thanks to my tax refund, I decided to purchase myself a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet. I could have repurchased the Wii that I was forced to return for my cat’s surgery, but my roommate is going to get one. So! I got this for a “try it out” basis to see how I like it and already I’m addicted and in love.

Hizseldes (as written about here) took the drawing virginity of this tablet. Her pose/anatomy is weird but I had fun. I think the bigger surface area (8.5 x 5.5″) made a real difference when compared to my last tablet drawing.
