I picked up a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet this past week – and this thing rocks. For only $199 bucks, you can the Wacom professional quality pressure sensitive tablet, the same as the professional level Intuois series for half the price at this size. The pen area measures 8.5 x 5.4 inches with plenty of room to move around.
I got to sit down and sketch – this started as doodle and turned into a character illustration of someone who is a great inspiration to me. I tried to make her eyes the focal point, since she has these great bright eyes that light up. I feel much of personality comes from here. She’s always inspiring and uplifting to be around. The resemblance isn’t supposed to be 100% accurate (I drew her from memory) but as long as that sense of someone warm comes through the illustration, it’s what I was aiming for.
