Day 99: Week 15 Summary

So, I ended up taking one more minor detour into digital art this week.  One of the guys from my club let me borrow his Wacom stylus so I could play around with some of the apps available on my iPad.  It was pretty hit or miss with some apps having serious delay issues and others causing the input to skip all over the place.

For now the best I can accomplish using those tools is a really rough layout or thumbnail, which is still really convenient.  I'm leaning more towards one of the round tip stylus though since I couldn't notice a great deal of pressure sensitivity in my apps.

I managed to get a few sketches of different takes on samurai for this Japanese style drawing I want to complete in the next few weeks.  A lot of the really cool styles I found were done with brushes so I'm hoping at least a few of my calligraphy pens can still write.  When I was still working on my kanji drills that particular style of pen/brush was constantly drying out on me.

The goal for the next week is to experiment a little with different pens and brushes I have laying around.  I'd also like to knock out some anatomy drills to help with positioning my thumbnails so it doesn't take as much work to correct when I'm adding details later on.

** I had to use a some fuzzy math to figure the page count for some of my Kindle books since they only have location tagging.
