Digital Painting

With my new computer I also bought a Wacom Bamboo tablet . It’s small but actually a lot better to work with than the large ones I used at my highschool. The smallness doesn’t really effect how large you can draw and its a lot easier to get used to. I haven’t tried any photo editing or anything with it yet but I’ve been playing around with some digital painting.

Before I had this I worked with mouse painting, which is hard but still fun.
Here are a few old paintings that I did.

The first thing I tried was an eye, because I love drawing eyes and I think I’m pretty good at it.

Then for my Graphic Design 2 class the teacher wanted us to paint something and I wanted to do something basic just to practice blending and shadows

So I painted an apple. I’m not happy with the shadow but I think its okay

Then I was just playing around and painted some hair, I think it still needs work and I’ll probably re-try it with my tablet

Now what I’ve been working on with my tablet

Just the sketch for now.

This is based off of a photo I took of my sister.

I don’t really want to paint the hands but I can’t figure out the body without them, lol so for now they are non-existent. I also changed the mouth a bit because it looked odd when I sketched it out.
Thoughts please!

I’ll post more when I get more work done on it.
