I’m going to learn to draw on a tablet.

July30

BY GOD! I will.

I’ve tried to do this before. Back when I was finishing Furlough two, I thought I might do that issue’s lettering via tablet, thinking that Ctrl-Z might override my natural tendency toward scrawl. But something was not right, and the evening ended as they often did at that point, with a lot of swearing and a lot of changed plans.

Well! I was at my cartooning/illustration group last night, and after some settings wrangling with my friend Tom, we got it to work properly, and my new project is to draw a bit with this every day. Current benchmark of success: it looks like a drawing I might make with a pen. Next: coloring? Details? Textures? We’ll get there when we get past where we are now.

All this is a fancy, backstory-laden way of saying, “Hey, I made this here drawing, lookit.”

I’ve been drawing this nose for a while, but it hasn’t found a home yet.
