For years now, I’ve been using an old Wacom Intuos tablet.  It’s served me well all these years, until I finally realized that the technology had grown far beyond the meager capabilities of the original.

So I gave in and bought myself a shiny new Wacom Intuos 4 medium tablet, and I have the say, the difference is incredible.  The increased levels of pressure sensitivity and update latency really feel substantial.

As such, I thought I’d try out some sketching and inking, and here’s what I’ve got so far, a quick bust of Emaline.  After this, I’ll take to shading, although I haven’t decided if I should work more on cel-style or airbrush style.  Coloring was never my strongest suit, and I sadly lack practice in the area.  Hopefully the new tablet will finally get me to change that.
