Digital Painting: A New Approach


So I'm currently taking a class called "Drawing From the Tablet" which is basically a Life drawing course that utilizes Wacom/ Bamboo/ Cintaq tablets as the medium. I need more experience with digital painting and I feel like this class has already helped me rethink how I work with the tablet. Instead of using the pen pressure opacity jitter as a means of varying my opacity when I apply my stylus to the tablet, I was instructed to use the Opacity meter to create varying thicknesses of opacity. It really helps me blend my effects, it makes the finished piece feel more naturally painted. I hope nobody's bored with my self portraits but here's my finished piece that experimented with this new approach.
