Thinkpad Sketches

Again, haven’t been updating much.  I have been busy working as a Digital Imaging Technician (DIT) on the Boys at the Bar film.  A Richard Dutcher film.  Just a few more night shoots, and that will be done.  But on my down time between different shots or when I am not swapping or dumping footage,  I take the time to draw.

So here are a few sketches and  a more finished painting.  All done on the the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, with a pressure sensitive stylus, in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro.

 
I picked up the tablet and the pen for about $300, and it has been fantastic.  The lag between the stylus and the actual drawing is practically unnoticeable and I have found it really easy to adjust to.  The only issue I have with drawing on the tablet, actually has nothing to do with the tablet, but with Sketchbook Pro.  It doesn’t have any kind of palm detection.  So, in order to combat this, I am required to wear a cotton glove with the index, middle and ring finder cut off.  This keeps any part of my hand from actually touching the screen.

But overall, if you want a digital sketchbook, at a really good price, this Tablet is a great choice.  And currently the only choice with pressure sensitivity and a 10.1 inch screen.

I’ll see about doing some videos of me drawing with this tablet.
