JAKO




Here's a drawing I did of our cat Jako for my girlfriend Trayce.  It was 100% done on the Cintiq tablet.  I had a few photos of him, made a "model" construction of his head, finding the spacial relations of his features and then drew it in photoshop.  I played around with the opacity on different layers for the color.  I really enjoyed doing this.  Working in color flowed out of me much more using the Cintiq.  I also purchased a thinner stylus pen to work with.  The grip pen the tablet cam with I find too think and cumbersome, and it cramped up my hand.  I ended up buying the Wacom CLASSIC PEN.  much lighter and more like a real pen/pencil.
