RE: Nyarlathotep Speed Painting Video
Wow, you make it look easy. I took a drawing class last year and I learned a lot, but I have not been able to transition to a graphics tablet. I need to get back into it. The last thing I drew was a walrus as Andy Reid (coach of the Kansas City Chiefs) haha... because he looks like a walrus, of course. =)
It's just practice. I've been studying art for like 6 years in a serious way. I used to be pretty garbage at it myself. As for a tablet, I actually use a Wacom Cintiq. They are pretty cool because you draw directly on the tablet surface. It feels more like traditional drawing than looking at a screen and not your hand like with most drawing tablets. I used to use those and got used to it... But hated it too.
Ahh, yea I've heard of those. Newegg just had a deal on a Cintiq spinoff the other day and I almost pulled the trigger. Do you recommend a particular model?
For kicks, here's the Andy Reid - Walrus drawing I was referring to:
Haha, nice drawing. I use the Cintiq 13HD which is about 2 or 3 years old now. Apparently the cintiq companions are pretty good. As for knock offs, I used the yiynova msp19u before. It was... meh. That was years ago and the knock-offs could have become better. I haven't needed a new tablet so I haven't really been keeping up with them.
