Yeah, I used to draw alot... then I stopped for a long time. Now I'm thinking of taking it up again. I even got myself a brand spankin' new Wacom Tablet. That I don't know how to use. TT_TT

Here are my first attempts at something on the tablet. Thought I'd keep it simple.

It's terrible, I know. For some idea of what my (old) drawing is supposed to look like, see here: http://spector-q.deviantart.com/art/Ran ... tor-Q&qo=1
That's 2 years out of date.
Here is a 2013 sample: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =3&theater

So, yeah. Might make it a thing to try drawing again.

lol give yourself a little credit man, it's not bad.

practice makes perfect, but since you used to draw a lot, you have a good start this time.

I always found that leaving something for a long time doesn't degrade your skill, it gives you time to reflect even if you don't know you're doing it. Sort of like when I played Guitar hero a lot. I was pretty bad, barely able to play on Expert. However, I quit for about two months and went back to it only to find I could easily beat anything on Expert after a quick warmup. I don't know what causes this, but it might mean that if you draw a bit more, you may find yourself better than ever.

Don't quit just yet.

My second drawing on a tablet. If anything, it makes it painfully obvious that I need a refresher on anatomy. :oops:

Hahaha, dat face. Yeah, Get those wire frames down before you add the meat. No self-respecting artist can't do a proper body. At least, that's what Shaun Healey once said.

Ikr! xDDD Well, I can draw a face on paper, but this tablet stuffs tricky. And, ya know, out of practice. I'm thinking I'll have to start from the ground up again.

Very, very good idea. Basics first.
