So a few days ago, I had the urge to try some illustration in illustrator. The result wasn't so bad. Just had to get familiar with some of the tools and all. Well I stayed up all night and finally finish a simple piece. Yes, not detail or anything.. ;( anywho here it is: 

Valentine's Day Drawing

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!! Yesterday I drew a picture for valentines but didn't get to post it up. And here I present my drawing. haha. A little practice in digital drawing. ;)

Practice sketch

Some of the sketches I did. Finally a fully painted one, yet very childish one. Still learning and will keep practicing. Though, I want to go back and focus more with design. Should start giving myself some assignments in regards to designing. I feel I have swerve far away from it, and think its finally the time to get back to it. :D 加油，화이팅! =]

Intuos Small Wacom Tablet Review

This is my personal review on the Intuos Small Wacom Tablet which I'd like to share to those in search for a drawing tablet or what not. I recently just bought this tablet as I was searching to purchase one to draw and paint digitally. Well, knowing that I'm an amateur at art, I've decided to start off something a little more in my budget and something small. Wacom have different line like the Bamboo tablet as well. Eventually I've decided to get the Intuos Small as I've searched and read some other reviews about to it.

 The Intuos Small has a simplicity design and is easy to use for beginners. It's small and portable which makes it very convenient. Something added on to that, its light weighted which is a plus. Now a day everyone wants to carry something light weight as you already know laptop are somewhat heavy depending on the built and size, no wonder they've come out with iPads and many other brands of tablets. The really nice thing about the Intuos is you can purchase an additional kit which allows it to be fully wireless. Which I think is pleasant as wires can get a little annoying at times (for those who have a lot of things plugged into your laptop or PC, knows what I mean....). Another thing impressed me was the packaging of the item. It was really well packaged. I mean it looked very neat and nicely put inside the box. Presentation there was great! And so, off with some pictures and more opinions after.

 (above photos) The box in which holds the Intuos Small Wacom Tablet. 

  (above photos) The tablet and the stylus.As you can see, the stylus holder (baby blue tag at top of tablet) can be changed into different colors. Eventually the package comes with a black stylus holder which you can switch it to. And that's quite stylish ;3

(above photos) The stylus is battery-free, which provides a lightweight stylus for the wielder. Also the pen ring (baby blue band on stylus) can be switched to different colors. A black pen ring also came in the package as well as nibs (the tip of the stylus where you write with).

So more about the tablet, not in full detail, as I'll be talking quite a bit about my opinion. It has four buttons which I haven't quite experience with but have noticed that you can assign a certain command/shortcut to it. That also goes for the two buttons on the stylus. The active working area of the tablet, the silver part, is very nice and smooth. Therefore, you can draw smoothly on it, as compared to having it have a bit like rubber, which allows grip and stickiness of the stylus, making it hard to write/draw. Again, this is my first time ever to experiment with a drawing tablet, so I'm still learning. I've noticed that it however does leave just a bit of light (and i mean very light) marks and some kind of color tearing ( what I mean by that is that when you rest your hands their from drawing too long, you can see color fade ??o.O? xD bad explaination. Well I've only had it recently, though its not showing a lot. I've been using it carefully, as I want it to last me forever. lol. Another thing I've said that is, in the long run, I feel the color will eventually start to fade around the area's your hands rest on, as my laptop is silver and the area where I lay/rest my hands on have faded. or that may be due to amateur drawer who takes too long drawing in one section/area,)...Also its not as if you are air drawing, you're and pressing like you actually do with a pencil and paper, therefore these issues are evident. But those don't bother me now as I'm still getting familiar with it and experimenting more with it.

I'd say overall, Its a very good product to start off with, its affordable and simplistically designed. So far I've been happy about it quite often. Only that lately I've been doing other things. hehe. Anyways, enough with the lame review, and off to bed I go!!!! :) 

Enjoy happy arts!!! :3

One of the doodles/practice I did with the Intuos Small. :)

Potato corner 1st time

Today went to the mall and Daiso with my roomie Suevia. Bought some Daiso items and will blog those tomorrow as right now is late and tomorrow is first day of school for me. Well at the mall we stopped for some potato corner fries. I've got to say I'm impressed. Many style and flavors. My favorite is the chili bbq , even though this is my first lol. Also I'm a huge fan of fries so this was just the right place. Ya I'm late on tasting their potatoes but now I have and I've enjoyed  it a lot. More next time I go there again. XD

Late night Practice Sketch Whip

So just today I bought the Intuos Wacom Tablet. I tested it and it doesn't seem so bad. The only bad thing is I'm still new to digital art, and still learning. So today I tested the tablet and so far I like it. :D Though I'll say I need more practice and more learning to do, and i mean alot :3 hehe. Well, done for the night and more another time. Also probably will make a review of the tablet soon. Debating on it though. eeek~! alrighty, off I go, and here unfinished practice whip.

And yep, that is the face of Kakey. Lol xD hahaha~ more improvement needed -.-;;
Also I took a lot of inspiration for this practice of digital painting from others. Just for the learning process, though I quite like it, and would like to thank them.

tata~
