This is the best I could do pre-Tablet. At the time, I was really happy with it.
This is what I was able to achieve with the Tablet:
I find the difference shocking. It's amazing how much difference a simple tool can make.

Pre vs. Post Tablet
So... I've been looking a lot at the pieces I completed using a mouse (pre-Tablet), and the pieces I've designed after I got my lovely-wonderful-amazing-fantabulistic Wacom Tablet (<3 my Tablet!). I knew that the pieces post-Tablet were much better (because it's frankly a lot easier to draw with a pen than with a mouse, simple as), but I didn't know to what extent. Curious, I decided to try to redraw a pre-Tablet banner I did for Kishin with my Wacom Tablet. I managed to surprise even myself.

Fantastic artwork Bonni3, love it! I'm a fan of the black background stuff, even though it is all great of course.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at Wacom tablets a few weeks ago, if you don't mind me asking, which size tablet do you use for these?
MB.
Hey Miura! Thanks so much; I'm glad you like it! The black background stuff is my favorite too. =)
ReplyDeleteAs for my tablet, I use the basic Wacom Pen Tablet ($69.95) combined with Gimp (which is basically a free version of Microsoft Paint that lets you do create images in layers). I looked at fancier, bigger versions of the tablet, but unless you are a professional artist using a program like Illustrator, I don't think it's necessary.
