A bit of experimentation – trying out a new painting style on an old sketch.

I was a little worried by the size difference between my old Intuos (drawing area 12″x12″) and the smaller area of my new Cintiq 12WX (drawing area 10.3″x6.4″). The biggest problem I’ve come across so far though isn’t size related…It’s the smoothness of the surface. I like to draw and colour in a scratchy-scrawly way so the smooth drawing surface is going to take a bit of getting used to. Blah blah blah…Anyways, here are a couple of illustrations I’ve done – can you see a difference? (Cowboy – Painter, Cowgirl – Photoshop)

But great, fantastic, brilliantly-brilliant news.

My little tiny book dummy is going to be a real book. I signed a contract with Caterpillar Books a couple of weeks ago and will be starting work in January 2012.
