Windows is being a poo and pen strokes with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop
under a Win10 VM lag by a second or two, making it really hard to use.
Illustrator isn't affected. While I'm trying to figure that out, I decided
to play with Krita a bit under Linux. It's fun to doodle a bit, and doodle
I did.
This started with a picture of someone with their head down.
Then I added her speech balloon. Then for some reason I added the
person behind her about to try to cheer her up with a surprise cymbal
crash. I don't think it'll work. Then I put the picture on the wall
just so it wouldn't be that much white space in the background.
I was trying to draw her more with some suggestions rather than defining
everything. For him, I just wanted a crazy expression. Oh, and Krita
provides a lot of different brushes to use and the pressure sensitivity
allows for a wide size variation within the same pen stroke, hence the
anger/headache/pain lines coming from her.
This took maybe 30 minutes to draw, though I drew a few different
pictures before it of different things that I didn't like and deleted.
Huzzah!

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random
sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes
just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly
scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also
am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated
it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of
people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title
provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind
if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search
engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.
Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox
properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't.
I don't care.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background
image, just click on the image.
