FIGURE DRAWING AT MCAD

Gonna go to BOTH of these every darn week.

Poster for Minnesota Hockey. It’s for the children!

I need to do more bright colors, everything I make is brown. It’s way easier to get bright with digital, which I do less.

I found a way to make the inkling for for a finished assignment, too. I don’t know if I’l ever use it again, but the hockey players were drawn with it, originally just for reference, but my teacher liked them so much I just colored them.

Wip of a poster for Minnesota Hockey. It’s for the childrens! I think I found a way to make the inkling work for me. We’ll see.

This experimental comics assignment went from “Yay! I get to cut up that awful Prisoner graphic novel!” to “Yay! I get to make a better comics extension of The Prisoner!”

Couple more Byrnes.

That thing he does during Life During Wartime is just so strange in the shoulders.

A buncha David Byrne in Stop Making Sense because he’s the best at moving. More to come.

Muscles are made out of the stuf your bones don’t want!

For this one, imported to illustrator, bumped up the stoke size, pasted into photoshop as a path.

Peter DiNatale

Fun fact: Peter is the evil version of me

James “Jams Bittner” Beitner

I imported this one into Illustrator then copied and pasted it into Photoshop. The lines look way more ballpointy I think.

One thing about the Inkling is just using it is motivation enough to draw more. So that’s nice. This one came out pretty nice digitally, too.

The perspective tangent thing was accidental, but is pretty cool.

I did that creepy thing where I draw one of my friends again.

It’s the talented and lovely Sherri! She’s awesome. And look, I’m in her portfolio! (I’m the first one because I’m the best.)

Learning to love the Inkling

Wacom Inkling VS Scanner

For the past few days I’ve been experimenting with the new Wacom Inkling. I’ve compared results gained from drawing and scanning vs using the inkling and importing it into Photoshop and Illustrator.

Check out the results.

Yeah, of COURSE the scanner wins. It’s not the point of the product. That’s why wacom makes tablets. Inkling is for quickly capturing sketches (WAY faster than scanning, which I love) and other times you’re not making a finished product. I haven’t had a problem with the pen going into standby, but if you’re not careful your hand can block the sensor. I got around this by clipping it to the right side of the paper because I’m left-handed and now I hardly think about my hand.

Hey look at me I got an Inkling.

Stil trying to figure out how to use it best. And not nudge it. Looks like I figured out how to stop blocking the sensor with my big fat hands!
