Drawing Process on a Cintiq Tablet

Steemit has brought out some amazing artists onto the platform. I have learned from them and have been encouraged by them so much so, that I have posted a few of my pencil doodles here on Steemit too. Recently though, I have decided to up my game and learn better drawing techniques. I recently acquired an old drawing tablet called a Cintiq at Wacom to help me take it to the next level.

I am really excited at the difference that a drawing tablet makes in drawing. Using a pencil and paper has always been what I used when doodling. What I am now realizing between pencil and paper and an electronic drawing table is that you save on resources but more importantly you save on time. A drawing tablet lets you "erase" as many times as you want until you are satisfied with your work without wasting paper, pencil or eraser. Obviously you do spend on electricity, but for the amounts of re-edits that I have to make, I am definitely glad I have this drawing tablet.

I have been learning quite a bit about how to use the drawing tablet as well as how to setup up Photoshop in order to use it. The key for me has been setting up a brush that acts like a pencil. This then lets me sketch freehand on the tablet while making it feel like I am using a pencil and paper.

I am now learning how to digitally color in Photoshop as well. I have always used a mouse before and hated it. The pen on this Cintiq makes it a whole lot easier as well. I have been so excited I didn't edit the mistakes out yet, instead I jumped straight to experimenting with color. So far I like what has come out but am not done yet. I just wanted to show you my recent update to Frankenstein.

I will be out of town for a few days, and hopefully when I come back will have my Internet issues resolved. In the meantime I leave you with my latest edit to the unfinished as of yet Frankenstein. I hope you guys like it.

Full Steem Ahead!
