Well.. I always wanted to be able to draw.
It’d be nice to be able to draw well enough to put some kind of dodgy comic script together.
I never really got into any kind of art when i went through school.
I think thats probably because i’m colourblind, and there was always a focus on colour.
I really enjoyed when we did things with charcoal and stuff.
Because there was no colour, but we didnt do that much so i kind of lost interest.
One of my art teachers was ok, tried encourage me, but at that point it was a bit late i think.
I’d given up trying to explain how some colours ran together and i couldnt tell the difference.
It’s all well and good to write the colours on the pencils i got mixed up, but when u can’t see it.
It feels kinda bland and pointless.
But now i figure why not, I learned to crochet, why not learn to draw.
Yeah..
This should be fun
I bought a tablet of ebay awhile ago.

This seemed like an awesome idea.
So i figured well, heres a bluetooth tablet. separate battery.
I’ve got two mini laptops, lets give this a go!
What i now have is two broken lcd’s and a sort of functioning DIY 10inch cintiq.
Unfortunately the el-cheapo usb lcd i picked up off some random ebay seller wasn’t so great.
Kinda works, but lots of jitter and more than a little refusal to line up with hte pen.
I’ll add a pic to this post.
So until i can afford to replace my lcd’s on the wee laptops and purchase a third for the little portable diy cintiq idea, It’s probably going to be dodgy scans or photos from my sketch pad.
Have fun either watching me succeed in learning to draw, or fail miserably.
Dry out.
