Waiting Room

I saw these people about a month back, would have preferred to use the inkling digital file to post but the dang thing doesn't work, I had to order a new battery...we shall see.

looking at this now my interest in drawing the central character exaggerated her scale. I really liked the way that guy on the left was leaning back, he looked like he should be on a porch somewhere- like he had been sitting there for days.

I guess that is how you feel sometimes in a waiting room, might as well be comfy.

After much stress, drawings from Atlanta

A simple thought: I'm up why not scan some sketchbook drawings. 

Foolish idea. 

As it turns out, if its 4 in the morning and the scanner isn't working, you really are lacking the capacity to trouble shoot the thing. 

Or you can, but it will take you to almost 6am. 

I digress, here is a picture of my brother working on some files in Atlanta in April

Guys caught in the Rain

These 2 Japanese guys were caught in the rain at Rooster Coffee House almost a year ago, they had great jackets for it though.

Here is the video of the drawing being made:

Sketches using Wacom Inkling

Here is a drawing I did about a month ago of Mimi sleeping. I used the Wacom Inkling, I am trying to use it more, I am still not used to drawing with a ball point pen. 

It is a hybrid of digital and analogue, I drew it in my sketchbook and it gives me a digital file that I can import into illustrator etc- I am still working on that part. 

Here is a little movie of the drawing process:

I will put some more up in the next few days.

Sketching with the Wacom Inkling

Since I was in the states, I was able to snap up one of Wacom's much talked about but super late released, Inkling. This device allows you to draw in your sketchbook ( with their ink) and a digital record will be created of the drawing. Furthermore, you can add layers while drawings and convert it into vectors....yowzers, it is exciting.

I am pretty happy with this test, clearly I did not heed do not sketch within 2cm of the reader, poor Omar has lost his head here, I was happy with that part- and Luke's head is clipped too. But a cool start. Here is to the device on Wacom's website The thing has already sold out of Amazon.com, and they don't ship to Canada.
