A couple more sketchy works I did around the same time. I usually draw or paint then take a photo, then work in photocopy.

I picked up a wacom tablet the other day. Soooo much better than using a mouse to paint with. I wouldn't say it's made a huge improvement to the quality of what I can do, but it makes the process much more enjoyable and saves a lot of time. One thing it has done to improve the quality a little, though, is that I used to use splines for outlines, to get a clean look that is hard to do with a mouse. Now I can easily sketch by hand, and it gives a much more 'organic' feel to the end result.

Yeah. Last time I had looked at prices (a few years ago) the cheapest decent ones were more than 300 bucks. If I realised they had come down in price so much, I would have gotten one ages ago. Got the Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch ($113).

One way I got around the precision difficulty in the past was to draw with traditional media and then scan, and paint on top of it with the mouse. Or, as I said before, use splines and other vector objects for neat curves.

The silver one. Both Scorptec and cpl have it for $119, so I went to Officeworks and used their "beat it by 5%" deal.
