Beyond Birthday had the eyes of a shinigami since he was born.
He knew your name before you said it.
He knew the time of death of every person he met.


Basically, I made new avi art for the first time in several months.
And it was all sketched, drawn, and colored
with a mouse.
My hand and eyes hurt xDD
I need a tablet.

So, readers, what's your favorite technique?
(Charcoal, pencil, colored pencil, digital, etc.)
What's the one you use most often?

Personally, I like mechanical pencil and shading
but I use digital (mouse. photoshop.) most often.



...I hardly need to explain just what effect
this would have on his personality.

I love charcoal and pastel.
Though I hardly use them anymore.

I prefer pencil and paper over computer.
But I guess it's all about training your hand to be good at drawing with a mouse.

I want to get a tablet.
But I haven't been motivated enough by desire to research tablets or anything else like that.

I know what you mean.
I wasn't really motivated to get one for awhile. Then I got money from graduation. That was my motivating factor xD

Yeah, and shopping for a tablet online, at least for me, was hard. I eventually just went to the nearest Best Buy and got a Bamboo brand hand tablet. It was $200, but it's the perfect size.
Now I just have to get use to it xD

Can you try them out at all?

I think that's what I want to do.
I don't know anyone who has one...

No D:>
They had some out as examples so you could look at sizes, but that was it.
I just went for the cheapest largest size xD And I remember Bamboo being recommended on a couple sites.

The only thing that takes getting use to with pen tablets is that when you draw, you have to look at the screen and not the mat, which is really trippy at first. But after a little while it gets much better.

Hehe.

I like to try things first!!!
So you like Bamboo?
What size is it?

Maybe I'll lurk around the art discussion forum.
I never go there. Some of those people are asses.
Like me.

So far I'm loving Bamboo x3
The tablet is 9 x 11 inches and the writing space is 8 (almost 9) x5.5 inches.
The smaller version is about 3/4 that size and $100 buck cheaper, but eh,
the larger version is the perfect size, for me at least.

I've been there the past couple days, lurking about (it's slow.)
The only time tablets are mentioned are in a sticky which is just
a link to a journal.
In case you're interested xD
