Getting to know the new stuff

Currently, there's way too much new information for me to process.... computer, software and wacom tablet! None the less, here's what I'm working on for my fall mailer.

The original sketch.......                              

and the pencil in progress.....

I'm hoping to loosen up my line work, after I learn some new tricks!

Retired Mac vs. Replacement

This is my 10 year old Mac which I gave a forced retirement last week. It served me very well, until it needed two new hard drives in the last 2 years. So... here is the replacement..... 

Of course there are differences but they are improvements and the touch pad is really cool!

My Studio Pal

Here is my studio pal and constant companion, MacDoodle the Poodle, resting his head under my drawing board.  He would like to be in my lap, but this is about as close to me as he can get.  It's a very good place to be during thunderstorms.

As for me, I am currently working on some educational illustrations and have put the digital experimenting on hold for now.  Stay tuned!
