Pages 1 and 2


When I was a kid my biggest problem with drawing was clogged Rapidographs. I dreamed of the day when I'd master those exquisite but leaky pens. Alas, I never dreamed someday I'd be drawing on a tablet and painting digitally. My quandary these days is finding a tool that'll let me insert gradient fills for backgrounds. Add to this the learning curve of file management, .jpg vs. .xcf files, scanning dpis, canvas sizes, and color management. For reasons unknown the scanned word balloons in these drawings came out extremely fuzzy. Oh to be 20 again and have the time to leisurely explore and experiment. I'm still hoping to one day become proficient enough with these new techy tools that I can whip out several pages per day. For now, I'm slow, slow, slow. 

2 pages down, 448 to go. (Notice: I redid the bottom half of page one....).
