Ready to Rumble? - Digital Painting - Part 1

My first recorded painting ^^

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNbuZWBdqZs

This is the contest entry for #UnseenArtists' contest on deviantART. We were supposed to draw a character of some sort, ready to battle. So, I decided to draw my character, Sheila :3

Music:
Anberlin - Paperthin Hymn
Skillet - Sometimes

Tools used:
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended
Trust Slimline Widescreen Tablet

Video:
Hypercam 2
Sony Vegas 9
Windows Live Movie Maker

Does anyone know about a decent program for speeding up videos? Can't speed enough up, so I had to split it into two segments.

Hey ! That's really cool :) !!!

I have one question btw, do you see what you are drawing on the tablet or just on your computer's screen ?

[Anniizify]

@thomsrun Hehe, thanks! ^^

Just on the computer screen.

But you can buy a Wacom Cintiq, which is basically a screen you can draw on. But that's pretty expensive, so I don't recommend buying it before you're absolutely certain you will use it.

If you are planning to buy a tablet, buy a small one, like a Wacom Bamboo. :)

[thomsrun]

@Anniizify hey ! Ok thanx for the advice :) ! So I have a tablet like yours ^^ ! Of course Bamboo its really good but my tablet it's a "Genius". Maybe my next tablet will be a bamboo ^^ ?!

[Anniizify]

@thomsrun You're welcome! ^^

I personally haven't used a Bamboo, but I've heard it's pretty good. I recently bought a Wacom Intuos4 L tablet, and it's awesome, so Wacom tablets are great. :]

wow i wish i knew how to use photoshop like this to add touches to my drawings. AWSUM!!

[Anniizify]

@jmillien1h Haha, thanks :3

This picture is old, and I've improved a lot since this one.

Just keep practicing ;]

[Anniizify]

@Manga4m Aww, that sucks!

Yeah, I went in and saw it. It's good ^^

[Manga4m]

@Anniizify yay ok :D i made one drawing with my old tablet, its on manga4.deviantart, but unfortunatly it broke D:

[Anniizify]

@Manga4m Yeah, it is. Download, plug in and ready to use ;)

It has very good sensitivity, but the lines gets edgy, and sometimes jumps everywhere, if the computer is slow. But that probably counts for every other tablet as well.

And, it's very handy, due to its size.

No problem at all ^^

[Manga4m]

Im thinking of buying the same tablet as you have :O Is it easy to use? Because i like a tablet that has a good sensitivity. Thanks!
