Airbrush Practice

Hi Peeps and Peepettes!

So I've been testing out the new Huion monitor in pretty much all of my spare time, and it's great!
Today's post is a practice session work in progress, learning to use Sketchbook Pro and more specifically the airbrush tool within the program, just getting a feel for drawing and painting on a screen and generally having fun with it all!

Happy Sunday all!

New Year, New Equipment!

Happy New Year! (Bit late, but still...)

I haven't posted for so long!

I've had a break from art in general for quite some time, but that's not always a bad thing. It can give you time to catch up on other things, art can take up a lot of time and it's very easy to become a hermit with a bad back if you don't step away once in a while a do something different.
Anyhow, I've just purchased, after years of wanting one, a tablet monitor for art, and am at this time just trying it out for the first time!
As with many others I couldn't afford, or justify the expense that is a Wacom Cintiq (for those who don't know, its the top of the range, industry standard brand) but instead after much research decide on the Huion GT-220. From what I've read once you get it up and running it's a very good machine for the price. I will give some thoughts on the monitor itself once I've spent more time using it, for now its a very nicely built screen, with a few design flaws but nothing that's a deal breaker (I knew about the flaws before buying).
Expect many posts in the forthcoming weeks, as I'm loving it so far!
I will update when possible, the pen is currently charging... wish me luck....

Happy Monday!

#Inktober Day 07

Late, again...

These weekday ones are both late, and pretty basic unfortunately, but after tonights one (Day 8) I'm going to make sure tomorrows has a little more effort put into it (I have a little more time thankfully!)

*Update*

Since posting this I've decided to continue #inktober on an every other day basis, this way I'll have much more time to put into creating more interesting and detailed drawings!
I'll post the pencils and inks separately, and any colour versions I'll add to the post with the inks.

Promethean Doodle.

Not going to post the basic inks on this one, as they're just not as good.

#Inktober Day 06

A little bit late....

I'm cheating a little bit with this one, I did the sketch in pencil last night and inked it this morning before work!

No need to explain who this is I'm guessing.

Going to sketch the next one out now, and ink it late tonight when i get home, hopefully it'll get posted today, if not I'll have to double post tomorrow instead.

#Inktober Day 05

Day Five People!

I messed up this evening by spending too long fiddling around adding colour to yesterdays post (Its been updated with the colour version below the original), and now I'm tired and wanting to do nothing but have a cup of tea, read, and go to bed.

But I promised myself I would stick to one ink drawing a day, and by gad I will do it!

So this one is about as simple as it gets, quick 2 minute sketch with only a 0.05 pen, and a coloured version.
I think I'll call it "Greaser".

Busy day tomorrow, so quite possibly another quick one, but I'll make up for it on the weekend with something more detailed.

Until then, happy #inking! Or alternatively happy whatever else you're doing...

#Inktober Day 04

#inktober day four, and Jack picked the wrong time to learn a new hobby....

Again this one will look better with colour, and I noticed I need to alter some of the shading, but kind of happy with it anyway.
I'm giving myself two hours per drawing for each of these, an hour for pencils, and an hour to ink, scan, clean up in PS and post.

Catch you later!

*Update* 

Played around with some colours....

#Inktober Day 03

Greetings!

Day three of #inktober, this one was a lot of fun to draw, and I think I'm getting back into using pens again, it has been a long time as I like to use Photoshop for inking generally.

I'll definitely do a colour version of this one, tomorrow if I get time, but more likely on Monday evening.

Until then, have a great weekend all!
