So, I forgot about this journal thing. I guess now that I've been active on DA for longer I know that a lot of people use it as a message for the people that watch them. I'm kind of doing that... no I'm not. The journal is basically an art journal for me, so if you're interested in my crappy art and how I'm pushing my lazy brain through this, then here you go.

So, I haven been using my tablet for a couple of months...three maybe? It was worth every discounted cent I paid for it. The idea was to buy the tablet, get used to finishing projects, and learn how to finish them, make them look the way I want, and once my brain learned how to do that, go back to traditional media. Well, I did a sketch last night that I'll probably post in scraps, but I was amazed. I did it while on the phone in like 15 minutes, using perspective which I've never really used before, (well, not interesting perspective). I haven't even used it in most of my posted deviations and whoosh, it came out! Mind you, I still need a lot of work, but this to me is a testament that the tablet is doing something to the left side of my brain, something very good... because I'm also drawing straighter than I used to!

What does it all mean? It took me 15 minutes to do this sketch on paper, and would have probably taken me three days on my computer, with the way I work... so! I'm going to save myself the trouble and start sketching on paper and scanning in images!! I'll ink them/complete them in photoshop...but yeah.. this is awesome! The tablet is really useful, though I should actually finish my projects... oops.

So, the point of this entry: tablets rock.
