okay so. basic theory down. now to start devoting a significant block of my free time towards improving the way I work with it. getting my hand steadier while working with a tablet would go well to that effect. I've been told and found out first hand that I have to try and get around that mental block that the "floaty" feeling I've come to associate with working with a tablet as opposed to a pencil and paper won't ever really go away. buuuut I'm working through it.

the last picture I tried out gradient shading, which I didn't mind -too- much. Next picture I'll try another method that was suggested to me and then compare the two to see which one feels more natural to try and expand upon for myself. I've always seen art as a hobby type thing but lately I've been wanting to try and take it that much more serious and to, forgive the phrase, "Turn it up to 11"

so yeah. Hide the booze and womenfolk
