So I finally got around to starting to use my Wacom Bamboo tablet more, and try to get a good feel for it. I drew my "Breeman" character, just a headshot (too early to start attempting bodies with the tablet) and it actually came out pretty good. I'm trying to draw more loosely with it, and kinda scribble and sketch out a rough outline to follow, lower the opacity on the layer, and draw the detailed final layer on top.
Coloring and shading is so easy and fun with the tablet, I just do a paint fill for the main color, fill in the white spots that the paint bucket missed, and then make a new layer with low opacity for the shading.
I'm going to be practicing more and more with this, because eventually I'm going to start a manga that my friend Dwight is writing. Hopefully I become good enough with the tablet that I can produce pages quickly enough to get some chapters finished. Also this will give me a chance to try out Manga Studio Debut 4.0, which will enhance the way my tablet works.
I like the shading. He looks serious...
