All right, if you know me (or have at least been reading the blog for a while) then you know that I'm an aspiring penciler. However, thanks to a friend of mine, since last week I've had a unique opportunity and a few unique experiences.
I was getting ready to go lunch with a friend of mine on the school faculty, and I noticed he had a Wacom board laying around his office. *DROOL* I asked him if he used it any, he said no, I asked if I could borrow it, he said "Sure, knock yerself out," and I thought "F***ING SWEET!"
For those of you with no clue what a Wacom board, basically its a nice electronic mousepad/mouse/pen setused for electronic illustrating. To me, and most people in the biz, its much easier to use than the traditional mouse or touchpad, especially if you have some degree of proficiency or training in drawing by hand.
So I got to mess around with it and Adobe Photoshop and... I think I'm in love! I downloaded some blank lineart and went to town and found out I'm a little more proficient with coloring in the old-school than I would have thought, so I might have to add "colorist" to my potential talents. Now if only I could work on that damn "inking" thing...
