Sketch Party 2000!!!: Entry 259: Wacom time!

HI! I'm Alex Smith,I'm a 28 year old illustrator, and this is my sketch blog. I started Sketch Party 2000 in April of 2007 with no real goals in mind. Soon after, it evolved into a daily ritual. I posted a sketch, photo, film, or some other piece of my art every day for a year. Somewhere in the middle of that year I went back to school, and if you start at the beginning and move toward the current entries you should be able to see that I paid attention in class. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy posting them, don't let this be your last visit. Updated Monday, Wednesday and Friday (and any other time I feel like it).

Entry 259: Wacom time!

I got a new toy today: A Wacom graphics tablet :) I tried a little digital inking over my rough pencils, and while it's going to take practice, I'm pretty excited about it it, especially when it comes to digital colors. I also included a nifty photo of it so you can check it out.
