Triing something

arrangemonk

dont expect too much, its photo surced and stuff, the main thing wat im triing it to paint the whole image with the 1 pixel pencil, at 9%







im getting tired so i will finish this in the next days i think...

btw: im using a mouse, because money and wacom are things that go hand in hand

I cant really comment on the work as it`s still very wip so just an advice: pretend it`s already christmas and buy yourself a tablet, seriously

a bamboo costs like 75$ as far as i recall

shell out the money for it
it'll take u miles ahead, trust me

and the bamboo itself isnt that bad
i have a graphire [damn do i need an upgrade]
but the few friends of mine who purchased the bamboo really like it
they're artists too btw.

otherwise
it looks like its gonna end up lookin cool
it reminds me a LOT of 'subtractive sketching' where u use eraser on a pitch black conte background

hmm,one day tried my brothers INTUOS3 A4 (he had taken it home during vacation) and i loved it. dont know it a bamboo feels the same i had to try one to see if i like it...
but i dont kow anyone around here using a bamboo

stop thinking about it and buy one. if its wacom its fine, do you think you can actually tell the difference between 512 levels of pressure sensitivity and 1024? i dont even use it at all anyway, i think i have more control doing it with brushes. /rant

anyway... cool drawing, i like the style. that thing [chimney?] sticking out of the roof looks like the perspective is wrong. its the opposite of the perspective of the rest of the structure. keep rockin!

<-- uses a bamboo FUN! (stupid name but good tablet)

It feels the same as an intuos, the pen is a bit lighter and you don't get tilt functions, but frankly its not that big a deal.

Has a zoom wheel and 4 configurable buttons. Superhandy. go. Buy. now.

indian_boy

yea for ril

my graphire doesnt have tilt functions and i dont feel hampered
maybe its cuz im not the greatest artist, but even still, none of my friends feel hampered by it either!

go for it man
its an investment

I think a cintiq would qualify more as an investment. XD
But, yes. I can easily say ANY Wacom pen tablet is worth 2x as much as any other brand. It's silly to think any other company could stay in business making their cruddy battery powered knockoffs.

I picked up a bamboo recently and I'm really enjoying it, it is a little small, but still works great. Nice and cheap too
