Giraffe guy. He works in an office and plays tabletop games. Very cranky. This is for a project I'm working on, of which I won't go into detail right now.
A drawing for my little sister Jackie. Her cat Charles is a Cornish Rex, one of those really short-haired, lanky cats. He's great - but it's basically impossible to ignore his balls. Especially when they're resting on something of yours. You all know what I'm talking about. ...Moving on.
And finally a little self-portrait I did for my MySpace profile. I try to do one of these every couple of months. To keep shit fresh and all. Yeah.Oddly, all of these (and the previous post's) drawings were done in Flash. Seeing a pattern here? I kind of miss paper. Drawing on the computer all the time almost feels like cheating. But I'm really comfortable with it, too. Huh!

I love giraffe guy!!
Also, hello mustache cat!
It IS cheating!
Flash automatically smooths lines for you!
I fear inking may become a lost art in the future. :(
woah, what? Flash doesn't automatically taper lines, determine weight/thickness, or create arcs for you.
It hardly smooths a line more than a paintbrush. For most drawings I need to go back and adjust the lines manually, the way you'd do with white-out. The only "cheat" is that it's already high-res and vectorized.
U R GOOD AT DRAWING MEREDITH
Drawing on a computer is "cheating" like driving a rocket car instead of a unicycle to work is "cheating". You're still getting where you need to go, you're just using a different tool to get there, possibly faster, and possibly in a twisted fiery wreck.
I wish I could use my tablet to ink, but I'd miss the tactile feel of pen on paper and trying to balance on one wheel at stop lights.
