This one is for me, place to muse, share ideas and interesting images.
Well I’ve made a start using my new Intuos Graphic tablet. As I said in the last post I want to use it for doing some book illustrations but first I have to master at the least the basics. Here are a few of the first things I’ve done. Permission given to fall about laughing!
The other day I took the plunge and bought myself a small grapic tablet and pen. I wondered if this was a foolish move as it will be another lot of 21st century (ish) tech. that I have to get my very 2oth century mind around. It’s the very basic model as I thought it was best to start small to see if the thing was any use to me. I have been pleasantly surprised how easy it has been for me to adapt to using this tool. Though this gadget will never replace getting my hands dirty with paint and other messy stuff I am delighted to have a back button when trying to produce illustrations. My motive is to illustrate my husbands diary about the winter we spent on the Greek Island of Symi some 20 years ago and you never know, I might decide to blog it!
