FrankenSteem Is Slowly Coming Alive!

I have now started to clean up some of the lines as well as finished some more of the stitches around the neck. I also fixed the missing Electric Bolt on his neck. I edited the 4 big staples that hold FrankenSteem's face to his head as well as colored them. I also cleaned up around the hair and neck. Since this is all a learning experience for me, the going is slow but I am enjoying the transition from pencil and paper to a digital drawing tablet. I mostly learn from from watching Youtube videos. What I am learning right now is how to clean up a sketch and the lines. This is called line art.

The Starting Point

The other day someone commented to me that they too were learning how to use a Wacom Drawing Tablet. They asked me what would be the best starting point for them? I suggested to first learn how to setup the pen on your drawing tablet to act and feel like a pencil on paper. Depending on the program you use for digital art, you can create a brush to act and feel like a pencil. This then lets you sketch much like a pencil and paper. Now that you have a "digital pencil" you can get your drawing to where you like how it looks on the drawing tablet. Next you can move on to line art and coloring, which is where I am now with FrankenSteem. I plan to do a little more work and then move on. I leave you with a few of FrankenSteem's stages. ![frankie1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZLaFZ7LWYmTsQwbo9K228p4LYDYUmZ6RrTGq2yKWjUDi/frankie1.jpg)![frankie2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZT75ePPj62W49NZzNS7qzhCgHgU2h8UfycFuhjwc3P9B/frankie2.jpg)![frankie2b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmP9QKLCBLoBdRNJH363Q5BfgiBB2gcUtsi2VJwpcBbDuZ/frankie2b.jpg) Full Steem Ahead! 09/22/2017 @streetstyle [![](https://steemitimages.com/100x80/http://steemitboard.com/@streetstyle/level.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=streetstyle)
