She reminds me a wee little bit of the "late" Princess Diana. I don't know what it is ....but there's something about her face that made me think of Diana. Very nice. :) I think if you changed her hairstyle.....that could be Diana. Diana had shorter hair.

Adorable puppy! :)

Finally got a tablet!

Black_Bird (Aug 5, 2009)

Woohoo! After a long time of procrastinating, I finally decided to get a tablet. Thought I'd give it a quick whirl!

I got a wacom bamboo fun medium size.

Few problems before when using Oekaki shi painter. Whenever I'd press onto the drawing area in shi painter, it'd sometimes randomly click to eraser or a different colour? I disabled the side keys on the pen too.

Anyone got any other tips for drawing with this? It hasn't taken long to adjust from mouse to pen though.

I am just about to buy a pen tablet, how do you feel about the bamboo Wacom? Does it work pretty well for these kinds of boards? I spend a significant amount of time drawing and painting online, I have arthritis in my hands, and the touchpads I use for drawing make my hands move around too much; a pencil, or pen stuck in one hand, would not do so much movement with my fingers and hands; better for the arthritis. So, what kind of tablet pen, and pen tablet, do you recommend? Anybody got any advice? most expensive Wacom? Or do the cheaper ones of different brands work pretty well? Really like any advise people would give me, because I'm about to spring for one, and I want to get something fairly good. Thanks all.:).

I know somebody who suffer's from arthritus and they use one of the intuos 4 line's wacom tablet, because it has a grip pen.Ive alway's used a mouse, even though ive got a tablet ive only used it a few times.

I have a Wacom Bamboo..and a Wacom Graphire...The bamboo is ok...but I much prefer the Graphire...I started out with a mouse..worked with that for two years before I got a tablet and now you couldn't pay me enough to go back to the mouse...lol...but i think either one of those is good..

I just got a bamboo fun (small) this week because my tablet pc crashed. I like it!! I'm very happy with my bamboo fun with the few days that I've been using it. I actually use the eraser part for drawing because I find it more comfortable. I use a cloth on the active area(or a sock or a handkerchief) (I used a sock the first time until my mother gave me a handkerchief) to protect the pen and the active area. I notice That I've been pushing too hard. That can cause a scratch in the active area and the pen nib to dull down. So the cloth works for cheap protection. LOL cool drawing!

An old character of mine I use to draw a lot of when I was younger, I guess I just felt like drawing him again.

Thanks Firecracker. Yeah the book is called 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer.

riccir (Jul 19, 2009)

really nice..i think you have your own style i seen many twilight drawings and me specially wont touch the subject,but seen your style with it gives it a fresh look.

firecracker (Jul 20, 2009)

Hi "riccir"......I'm just curious as to why you say you won't touch the subject.....is it vampires that you don't like? Vampires are just "fictional" characters.....if they were "for real".....I wouldn't like them either.......but since they are "fictional"....they make good characters for books and movies. With your amazing talent......I bet you could draw some very fantastic looking vampires. I admire all of your amazing artwork. :)

firecracker (Jul 26, 2009)

Wow"!! What a great finish.....it looks awesome!!! I like it!! :)
