I decided in the spirit of drawing day I’d forgo my usual technique and have a bit of a play in painter. It was very interesting, you could almost feel the paint covering the canvas, and with the wacom tablet it was dead easy to use.
If you’re interested in seeing the sketch I started with I’ve posted it on my blog over here
Otherwise, I hope you’ll join the Drawing Day group and get your Draw on on Saturday :)
I love using the tablet in photoshop.. time I did it again! Have only done it a few times but each time have loved it. this was my first go at it. thanks for the heads up, incentive and inspiration :D I haven’t looked into the cost of Corel.. is it pretty pricey? Very cool monster you’ve created here – really great work especially considering it’s your first foray into it!! :D
Yeah, it is – $800 AU. You can get a free trial though. There’s also a cheaper version called Painter Essentials but I haven’t looked at how that differs from the full version. Really all I need is a few good brushes, so it might be something to look into later.
