This is Sparta!!

Pencil drawing of a mighty Spartan Warrior. Took me about an hour and a half to complete.

Wacom bamboo Tablet

The artwork that you see below this post is all done using my Wacom Bamboo Tablet. This thing is nice. It was $80 and came with some free software. It was a breeze to install and really unleashes your creative beast. It is large enough to have a suitable drawing surface for the price and the feedback from the stylus is almost second nature. I have had a blast with this tablet and recomend it to anyone who is interested in getting started with digital painting.

This painting is my pride and joy at this time. I really did not know where I was headed with this one untill it was about done. It is acrylic on canvas and turned out wonderfully.

Alrighty Then...

Well I managed to totally put my blog to the way side. I promised myself that wouldn't happen but it did. I just got so caught up in the daily grind of work and starting back up with school. I would also like to mention that having a pregnant wife definatly takes some time from my day. Thats time that I am happy to be parting with though :). A quick update about myself; I just started back up with school pretty excited to be taking classes again. Also, I made the base softball team for the Air Force base that I work on! I am still finding time for art. I have done a few drawings hear and there and also a few new paintings that I would love to share with you all (lived in the midwest for a year now and I still can't say Y'all). Well thats all that is new in my world and I will get to posting my new art work!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

New Year

Well it is a new year and I would like to start it off by really focusing on stuff I enjoy, I get so scatter brained where I want to do this (for a week) then I want to do that (for a week). I really want to pick a couple things I enjoy and get better at. Especially with a baby on the way. That means less time for everything i'm used too. Time to narrow it down.

I have also been really reserved about putting myself and my artwork out there. Not for fear of rejection but... I don't have the words. I am just so critical of myself that I can't imagine anyone else enjoying something I made lol. It's weird. Well this year that is all over. I officially made a Facebook Artist page and shared it with all my friends.  I also ordered some Giclee Prints of some of my paintings, 1. To test out this company, 2. To see how they turn out in reproduction.
