see whatever…

After a long time I did some drawing again. Just by hand with a pencil. I am actually using 6B pencils exclusively as they allow all type of strokes, tiny and light ones and at the same time broad and heavy ones.

I have a Wacom tablett too in A6 which is just enough for my needs. I still have an old serial A5 one on my old PC but A5 almost seems to large for actually drawing on the computer.
But I prefer using pencil and paper as it is much easier for quick sketches and I can still not get used to map my hand movements to the screen view which is ok for mouse usage and image processing but still quite weird for actual drawing.

Most drawings I do are quite small and I normally did scan them with an old Snapscan which is still sitting around. But this time I was just too lazy to boot that one up and also it seems to scan some random coloured noise sometimes. So I just used a digital camera instead. It’s only a 4 megapixel one but that is enough even for printing, at least for my needs. Although one has to be careful when doing the “photoscan” which gets shaken quite easy but it seems much more convinient than scanning.

Was actually quite fun to do some hand drawing again which enables a much quicker experience than computer drawing still. The only thing I am missing is a go-back function as it is much better than a rubber
