More Tablet Fun   May 28, 2010 Just some playing around with the pen tablet. Illustrator is good for inking, but really, before that stage it seems like Photoshop is the right tool for sketching. So I did a quick test in 3 steps. Some really rough outlines, then filled them in a bit more, and then a little more refinement. This was also an exercise in trying to figure out how to create animated GIFs which turns out to be very easy. The little squiggle on the left side was a test to see if it's pressure sensitive: it is! This is still very primative, but it's a first cut. Also, this was done at home on the laptop computer (after spending some time to get that to work).

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.
