Wacom Tablet Intuos 3 driver- 605-7(091007)

Two weeks ago, i checked the Wacom Site for their new products. I installed the latest driver for my Wacom Tablet 605-7(091007).exe .

After that, i started to paint in photoshop. I realized the driver had improved alot than the previous version i had. Which is 496-8 that provides me faster startup in XP.

Finally, i can painted & blending like what Bobby Chiu was doing in his video tutorial. I always curious how to paint without depending on opacity setting to blend the color faster. I no need to use eyedropper to pick the color surrounding the painted area to blend now.

I can directly paint & blend within 100% opacity. I can finally understand How those forumers suggested learn not to adjust opacity.
Eyedropper picked color to paint can make the painting looks "messy & dirty" easily.

It is like another new beginning of my painting lesson once more. At least the one that works a lot easier than last time.
Anyway, this is one important further staircase's step to myself.

I wish i can learn from some real master in my next job. Self-taught is too slow & limited. I never know i painted in such improper setting for this long.

Here are some paintings after installing the new tablet driver two weeks ago.
USO - Unindentify Swimming Objects

Sour girl

Joyful girl

Others...

I am still painting.

Some experimental painting test & sketching.

And some character design for a game company. Since I got modified them into another stage. So, it would be fine to show the first design.




I wish i could finish CGtalk challenge.. haha...

Learn something?!

The first picture is a Demon wif three-headed wolves & striking weapons which holds by its forceful arms. Dat's the warrior having a two-headed cobras as partner in his fighting.

Afterall, i had did my best to paint it at my best potential at dat moment. It tooks me roughly 1 week to amend the character design, posing, anatomy. Overall painting is taking only 30% of my 1 week. Gosh... it is still looks awfully bad when i submit to Conceptart & Cgtalk. Too many mistaken such as Demon Symmetry, anatomy, Flat image & unrecognized movement.
Ok, let it bypass. I am doing more study in whatever that interest me (once again).

The following two images was made for the local Game Company. I am glad the employer like it so very much. I can say both are my current best coloring at a day. I hope i can make the job as a freelance commission. Stay poor, Stay hungry is always the most natural motivation to do something more efficient. The best way to test your determination on something truly. Nice quote from Steve Jobs.

Now i have to deal with "Still doing it" even when you are contented.

More reading on Fashion now. Good for character design & so much inspirations to store.
John Galliano makes me believe Marko Djurdjervic design is not illogical anymore. Actually, i neva thought bout Marko design is not logical to put a car number plate in front chest. It was one thing had been mentioned by Massive Black's Artist. Too many logical sense & rules for a character ideation can loosing quite a lot of fun.

Truly, both of em inspired me in the same way. I like the extreme & cutting edge concept in their design!

I will trying for something like this. I am actually not very like formal-looking character design..haha..

Ninjitsu on the Hill.

wth... this took me one week to finish. Actually, i had finished 80% of it. But i was very unsatisfy wif the robe design. So, it took me a while to study some fabric and robe from others painting.

So, i redraw the robe only on yesterday including the Reddish sky. And touch-up the fountain more. Anyway, this is unforgiven painting which took too much times dat it shouldn't.

Drop it. I will move further wif new found solution in this painting. At least i learn something again thru this one.

Strokes+planes+simplify surfaces~! This is how to paint faster...rite?

Little update for now.
1st one spend less than hour. I was amazed. Drawing without thinking too much. It's actually 'fasten' up the painting.

2nd one . this took two days. It turns out OK to me. I was too slow to paint.

3rd one. I love this progression. This one is the most fastest & detailing painting i can achieved within a day. Total would be less than 3 hours? I like the fun to create "un-constructive" art. Anatomy & accurancy always block my mind to release free genre to paint!

Recently, i had studied more bout Manga style. Try to develop simple coloring. It is a very important skill to possess. Quick & understandable sillhoutte wif coloring its my current target. I will try to produce some good detail fully illustration recently. Will do it for my www.dinodog-jr.com.

hehe..Gonna erase off all the lame drawing i got in the past from the official site.

Btw, how to spent 3 hours to draw for urself after the tiresome full-time working?!
Mind-management is very hard to deal & re-organize for years once it was rooted.

Char 1 :Ninjitsu-Squad

I am trying to make some character design in this week. This one took me roughly 8 or less than 11 hours within 2 days. Looking for a comfortable & efficiency way to paint. Hope i will learn something in this journey. Enjoy~!

Huh?!

yeah...

May of year 2007

i'd finding new technique to paint faster & better. Each less than 4 hours.

2nd Quarter of year 2007

1st Quarter of year 2007

In the Nov of 2006, i had finally started a sketchbook in www.conceptart.org. i was asked around how to paint properly with more techniques. And i found myself was worked under an improper wacom setting in adobe photoshop. Supposed to be the Wacom Driver couldn't detect correctly to get the wacom pen working perfectly. No Wonder it took me ages to smooth & blend something much nicer. After February 2007, under a super tips from a conceptart forumer. It was a new beginning to experience with Wacom Tablet all over again with but much faster producing works.
