Zeiten(w)ende

I can't believe I  haven't made a post about my shiny new Wacom Intuos3 yet. :D I am here to change it ;)

So yes. I made it. I am the owner of a tablet. After years of "I want to get a tablet but don't know"-whining, my parents got the clue and decided to give me a tablet for my 18th birthday (which is actually in September, but they thought it'd be nice to have the summer vacation to test it, which is totally true). They are awesome, especially my dad who wouldn't let me convince him that I do - not - need the most expensive/ largest version. At least I could prevent him from buying the newest Wacom, worth 2000€. :D

I love it. It feels so much better, drawing with it, and Photoshop does no longer annoy me that much, using it. Big thanks. 

I haven't drawn too much with it yet, though - I have to admit I'm a bit intimidated. But I mean to change that, and did three sketches/loose paintings yesterday and today. <3

Was very creative today. I did a few anatomy sketches, all old fashioned with a pen on paper and all, lots of random doodling, and this crappy ... potrait? sketch?

This is a concept I've probably been wanting to draw since I was... umm... 7? I always had a fancy for nice death scenes!

Umm okay. Don't count her fingers - let's all pretend she's got 5 on each hand, yes? I hate how the smallview makes it looks ... bluh. D: And it won't open in Photoshop because the file is too large, so I can only use Open Canvas for it D:

Oh, and tell me if I shall put it behind a cut, if it streches your layouts! :D

With my social life going to hell, I find a lot of time for drawing! Okay, it is not that bad, just bad enough to be annoying.

So here's a sketch I did in Open Canvas, supposed to portray Queen Elizabeth I. My mum was even able to tell it's her! 8D Hooray!

The first version I worked on about 20 minutes, and the second one I don't know how much longer, but probably something between one and three hours, on and off.  It's not "perfect" but I decided to ignore the errors. D: 

.... et voilà
