"That pic in your signature is so cute!"

Lol! XD Thanks. I did that at about 7 in the morning..laughing
the entire time. I thought it was the funniest thing in the
world. It is cute. I hope it'll one day be canon.
Currently, I think Ducky has a bit of the puppy love for Petrie. ;3

Thank you! It's always nice to meet fans of my fanart. ^_^
I'm still playing around with what adult Ducky's look. I'm using
her mother as a bit of reference. I'm hoping to have that ready soon.

How long did it take you to draw this? It looks very excellent.
Title: Adult Petrie
Post by: WeisseEdelweiss on February 06, 2008, 07:20:35 PM
Thanks all! ^^

This took about 2 days I do believe. The line art takes the longest.
It only took about 30 min. for the backround so that's proof. ;3

You are using a graphictablet WeisseEdelweiss? I have for a while been trying to buy one at ebay, but so far the wacom tablets were always sold for more than I was willing to bid. In spit of the fact that the wacom tablets are supposed to be the best (no batteries required for the pens etc.) I guess I might have to settle for a cheaper tablet.
I wonder if you can give me any useful hints which I should keep in mind when looking for / working with a graphic tablet?

I'll be honest with you, Malte. I didn't have a clue as to what kind of tablet I wanted, however I came across a rather large AIPTEK tablet. It works very well for me.
You're absolutely right about the batteries. Although it can be annoying, I learn to live with it. ;3

What I find, when people first start out with their tablet, is that they have a difficult time drawing on the equipment and looking at the screen at the same time. This difficulty holds merit as we are all traditionally accustomed to looking at we draw or write as we put it on paper. Getting use to the tablet is all something that comes with practice just like drawing itself.

Working with a tablet has many benefits vs using a mouse. It provides as much control (if not more) as a pencil on paper. I'm a big fan of traditional art yet I'd much rather use Photoshop and my tablet. It's a geat opporitunity to work with extreme detail.

I hope that assists you. If you have anymore questions ask away. ^^

Are there certain brands or something to look for when one does think about buying one?  

I guess most software one uses can be a bit pricey.   I didn't know the pens took batteries, I guess like wireless mice.  Never liked those, the main reason is every one I tried just stops working after at time, even changing the batteries doesn't help.

I guess not looking while one is drawing is like not looking at the keys while one is typing, though a bit harder.

Thank you :)
One thing I'm wondering about is how long it takes until the batteries in the pen have to be changed. Can you say about how many hours it takes for the batteries to run down?

It takes probably about a month or longer.
For the pen I use it requires a AAA battery.
