This blog is dedicated to my quest, "
Teach your self drawing"

It goes like this; September 2008 I saw a time laps painting by Nico Di Matte. The experiance was mind blowing. February 2009 I bought my first wacom tablet, and here my quest begins. Feel free to follow my fumbling path and shaky lines, while I chronologically document all my drawing in this blog

Wacom arrival

I was finally able to afford a shining new Wacom tablet. After quite some time researching, my decision fell down on the Wacom Intuos3 A4 size (12" by 9"). Boy was I happy like the easter bunny, on my way to the post office. Through my mind I think I was fabling about grandeur and master art, if I only could get a hold of a tablet.... little did i know...


I came home and riped of the boxing of my tablet and spent as little time I could on installing and configuring it - Eager to get on with creating great art. I was soon to find out, that a tablet do nothing to your art. If anything, it's harder then on paper. At least to begin with. As this image show you my wacom tablet surly did not make me an artist. Everything felt awkward. The surface was to smooth and the pen to thick. Hand eye coordination was strange and configuring the tablet properly with Photoshop was taking time. Thankfully, my awakening, did not kill my spirit. The quest goes on.
