Me drawing a bug


I just posted a really short video of me drawing a bug on You Tube. I hope to start doing more of these types of videos. [LINK]

Hi, Steve. Great sketch and cool video!

What model Cintiq are you using? I can't get one yet, but I've been researching various models. Do you think bigger is better with these?

I have both versions. The big one is the one I use all the time. I love it, but it's really heavy and has to sit upright at a 45 to 75 degree angle. The small one can sit on your lap or flat on a desk and is more like drawing on a sketch pad. They both can be hooked up to a lap top but again, the big one really isn't portable so good luck hauling that around. They both work really well but it is different than working in a sketchbook and it does take some time getting used to it.

I guess I like the bigger one better because there's so much screen real estate for all the palettes and junk and if I could have a monitor the size of a wall I would.

you draw too quickly Steve!

Nice little video! It's always great seeing how another artist works. I also see that you have two screens open - is that to gauge what the overall picture looks like while you're working on details?

And ps...that is a pretty dam big cintiq.

The only critique I'd like to put in is that your head gets in the way sometimes during the video...so...that's something to consider....
