A blog about my journey on illustrating, writing, and all the insanity in between. I began my journey as an aspiring author and found myself discovering a passion for illustrating for the children's book genre. I blog my art in progression, about the journey to my dream of traditional publishing, and more.

more doodles
Here is something new that I did today. I need to try to do a progressive. My cousin sent me a nice link to help me along with my new style of illustrating. It is all about trying new things!

Something new for me...
At the conference, I learned a lot about the need of a Wacom tablet. I was gifted a gently used Intuous 3 about a month ago. Unfortunately, I had NO idea what to do with it. Well, I finally uploaded paint.net and elements. Here are my first attempts at using my wacom tablet.
I played with a few features. I first changed the tip on the pen to the grey tip that has the spring in it. I love this tip! Some of the balloons are free hand and some are using the features to
manipulate lines. Fun times!
The next piece I did was primarily free hand with overlays. I am excited to try some more with different techniques. I am a bit confused with the layers, but am excited to read up on them! The tablet is very easy to use. I thought I would have a hard time working with it due to screen and tablet orientation, but it is really quite simple!
