Last year for my birthday, my ILs got me something I had been coveting for a long time: a Wacom tablet. I miss drawing and since I’m always on the computer anyway, I thought this might ease me back into it. Unfortunately I haven’t had as much time with it as I would have liked, but hopefully I’ll be able to use it more and advance my tablet skillz.

This was my first attempt: Bean’s sneakers. I wanted to see if I could make it look like a painting instead of digital art. Eh. Not so much. It still looks like digital art. Maybe if I keep practicing… then again, maybe tablets are just not meant to do that anyway.

Eh. It’s not great or anything, but I like, at least, preserving Bean’s sneaks like this. We were never the shoe-bronzing kind of parents anyway (i.e. we could never get our shit together enough to have it done).
