MONSTER TECH II...Or how to sharpen your Crayolas like Big Daddy.

Man that's good stuff. Inpiring too.

I didn't realize you used a tablet. Do you use it for almost everything? I know if I break down and get one it'll be damn near the only thing I use to draw with. Maybe that's what I need to get back the "want to".

 

Jeff you are a great insperation to us all! Thank you!

 

Awesome tutorial man! Thanks for taking the time to put that together and share.

I bought my Painter 9 and Wacom tablet together as bundle (great deal!). Even though I haven't had much time to explore painter, I use the pen/tablet for almost everything in Photoshop and Illustrator.

For those of you that are proficient in Illustrator, you'll be amazed at how it feels to draw bezier curves with the pen (if you don't already). I find my hand is more relaxed, fluid, and it seems faster - maybe because there is more precise hand-eye coordination needed with the mouse.

Great work Jeff!

 

Thank you Jeff! It was time to found this thread.

 

well, better late than never. I'm bringin this puppy back to life. Thanks for all of this helpfull info.

I am definitely going to get one of these tablets. Which tablet are you useing?

 

Jeff~
are you sttill using the same software today, as you were 2 years ago when this thread was started?

I am currently using Photoshop7.0 and have gotten pretty comfortable with it. I am curious which corel program you would suggest as I want the freedom to draw original art as well as paint photos. I want the freedom to continue to print clear standard legal size stuff and in addition do hangable wall art size stuff.

This may be o/t as it doesn't involve the application of the software, but who the hell is lookin at this dead thread anyways ? ... haha
