First new thing I've drawn in a while..
My son says he looks like, "something you should not touch."

First one, then the other.

Reminds me of Marvel's "Holocaust", one of Apocalypse's horsemen back in the day.

Awesome. I wasn't collecting whatever he was in, at the time, but he looks wicked. I see what you mean.
My guy is like, more of a "cosmic horror" ..with an impossible, incorporeal body from outside our universe.

Insectoid eyes see different frequency light. That is what we look like to them.
So were you an insect in a previous life?

Buddy, I'm an insect in this life.

Aren't we all. And like any insect infestation, there are billions of us.

I've been practicing A LOT. These are drawings I've done this month.
I've been watching Project Runway and having more fashion-oriented ideas.
As per usual, I have no idea who these characters are.
(this month, writing is chasing drawing)

I like the movement in the top right one particularly

jfc thank you for saying, "movement"

I've been practicing drawing every day for 2½ years, so I finally bought a pen tablet. It's a Huion Kamvas Pro 4k, the biggest competitor to Wacom.
It's essentially a 19" 4k monitor with an etched glass display (a slightly textured anti-glare surface) that I can draw directly on with pressure-sensitive EMR pens (don't require a charge or battery).
What I've been doing up until now is uploading line work to a computer and editing with mouse and keyboard. So this is a huge improvement because now I can draw everything by hand.
I'm learning Clip Studio Paint, here's the second thing I've drawn.
It's done with the digital version of an ink "G pen" and added values from a watercolor wash.

a new toy!
I see the line thickness varies considerably. I assume that's from increasing the pressure? Or do you change from a pencil tool to a marker tool?
Offline
That's the pressure sensitivity.
For the "G pen" it's emulating a dip pen, where pressing harder opens up the nib and deposits more ink.
You can go into each one of the tools and adjust dozens of little variables about how it reacts to pressure, as well as angle detection up to 60 degrees (like if you turn a pencil to the side to make thicker lines).

That's pretty freaking cool. Can it mimic a range of brushes along with the pen?

Wow, I didn't realize you'd been doing all the previous work without a tablet. That's incredible! I'm glad you now have one, and can't wait to see how your process gets better and easier.

Thank you. And yes, I'm to the point where creating a faster workflow is the most advantageous area for me to improve.
I haven't ever used a tablet up to this point, but I had been doing my line work on a whiteboard, which essentially has infinite undo. Uploading whiteboard sketches with rocketbook allowed me to create my line work by hand.
