What can I say, I've fallen in love. Yep, I've fallen in love with my Wacom. But that aside, this relationship has proved to be somewhat useful. To start with, my first attempt of painting clouds.


But it doesn't stop there. Using a photo reference I managed to produce something with a little more drama in it.


So having my art course cancelled for this evening hasn't been a complete loss. However, the real challenges are drawing a physical object (rather than a photo reference), and drawing from memory or imagination. The truth be told, anyone can copy. The true artist is the one who can navigate that visual space using only their mind's eye. But at least I'm getting to grips with the tools which should aid that journey into the creative mind.

One a side note, I rediscovered an old art project on the web. Imagine a never ending picture...
