Waiting waiting
OK, I've been pretty sick with a cold, not the flu or anything like that, just a "Man cold" as my wife calls it. I feel like I'm dying but if the missus had it she would just shrug it off and get on with it. Well that's life. It's a proven fact that females have higher pain tolerances than males, I must be very manly because my pain tolerance is pathetic! As to the title of this journal, I'm still waiting fo my Wacom Centiq 24 HD graphics tablet to arrive. I've been getting used to Painter but I dunno, I'm using a Wacom Bamboo touch at the moment and it just doesn't feel right. Considering I'm mainly a traditional artist it just feels wierd w
Heading into a new era
Well things will be interesting now. I've purchased a full icence for Corel Painter 12, I've mucked around with earlier versions before but never seriously considered digital art. I went to the Avcon in Adelaide (South Australia) last weekend and fell in love with the WACOM Centiq 24 HD graphics tablet at the WACOM stand, this thing is a 24 inch wide screen monitor with a pen touch surphace.

I've been using a bamboo tablet for years with work instead of a mouse so that I don't get RSI, but it's never quite jelled for me doing art work with it, it must be a hand eye thing. Well my wonderful wife
Finished my first major peice in 2 years
Hey, check out my final Johnny Depp, the photo doesn't really do it justice. It feels good to finally get something under my belt after so long, sort of blow off the cob webs.
I'm going to use a different type of paper next time, the smooth paper I used made it really difficult to get any real darks, so I've got a pad of bamboo paper that has a nice texture, see how I go with that one. Anyhow this ones short and sweet, and to all of you who read this may you have a pleasant day (or night) and all the best.

It's the weekend (well half way through)
OK, half way through the weekend, spent a lot of the day helping a freind move house then we went out to tea so not a lot of drawing happened today. Johnny D is coming along OK. Once I've finished the drawing I'll put what I've learned about his features into the Acrylic that I've started. Yeh I know, I got it all back to front doing the study after I started the painting. What can I say, I wasn't all that sure that I'd be going on with it. What changed my mind was a discussion I had with another freind last weekend, we were talking about goals and what we wanted to do in life. Now I'd been studying accounting (I don't know any accounting art
