        Moving from bats to snails. I had a snow day so I spent the day doing research, sketches, and this model for the next picture I want to do featuring a snail.

          This started out as a draw 50 things challenge for myself but wanted to connect the story with two other pieces. And to actually finish an idea I had rolling around in my head. So these are: A boy who loves giraffes and aviation, placed in a 1960’s era home watching the launch, then going to sleep upstairs to dream of traveling wonderment. Made digitally with Procreate. I’ll try to post in here more, because 2019 is new and there are more illustrations to do! Onward!

                      @whitney-simms As a minister, I definitely think that art time for church counts as tithing!

                            I am really trying to get better at digital drawing but I don't know what it is... The pen is big and feels unnatural making it hard for me to even draw a straight line...

                            It is a matter of practising more? And how? Do you guys recognize this when you just first started out with digital drawing?

                              @sas When I first started with digital there was a huge disconnect for me between my tablet and the monitor. It was hard making an adjustment when I wasn't physically looking at my drawing/painting tool. It just took practice with it to become comfortable. I still feel more competent with a pencil/pen when doing quick sketches though.

                              If you are using tablet and monitor separately (not cintique / ipad pencil) I would definitely look at your settings and make sure your tablet has the same aspect ratio as your monitor. If its not then you will always draw misshapen ellipses/circles .

                              Other than that just get the mileage with it and do some warm up / line exercises every chance you get.

                                You can check me out painting here if you want. I am going on another oil painting journey.

                                    Gonna keep doin' character refs. Might bundle them and stick them in the portfolio in a webcomic section.

                                          I promise I'll stop spamming this thread at some point :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

                                          At some point the main character has to 'run away from home' (home being a spaceship). Spare part escape pod!
