Like losing an arm and gaining a robotic one

Joining the vast throngs of wanna be artists on the intertubes, I bought a tablet.

How wonderfully awesome it is! But it takes some getting used to. I basically have to re-learn how to draw.

It's a bit like waking up after a car wreck and learning how to walk all over again. You know you can do it, but it's frustrating with the results are less than what you expected. It's like a bicycle, though. You might forget a little bit how to ride it, but once you get on, it comes back to you.

Either way, hopefully as I get better, more and more comics will appear, as the biggest appeal of a tablet is you bypass the material world and the use of a scanner and just start drawing pixels immediately.

A sample of the second test drawing. Dantzel relaxing at home playing Okami:

Does she really play Okami in only a large shirt? Sometimes, yes. That's how sexy she is.
