I got a new tablet (ostensibly for drawing). I got it because, despite my adoration for my XP Pen 12 Pro, it isn’t what one would call... portable. My laptop in of itself is a backbreaker, so even if I could find all the power outlets I’d need in a public space, it’s not practical!
But for ages now, despite my casual love for paper sketching, I’ve wanted a way to draw digitally on the go. So I got the cheapest tablet I could find that I wouldn’t have to corrupt into the hell dimension to get Krita working on.
Enter stage right; the Surface Go 3! I’m gonna say immediately (and more than anything so you know this isn’t an ad) that the Go 3 sucks, and I do not recommend it. It overheats, it’s gotta a smaller display size than my XP Pen, it has middling battery life, and the pen and drawing support is very, very questionable.
However, for me? As someone who only wants it to sketch with, to use essentially as a mobile, digital sketch book? It’s poifect! It’s small and portable but workable, and I’ve been using janky computers my entire life; at this point, I’m stubborn enough to get through most fucky moments if it means I can have drawing on the go.
I’m really excited to use this more and get some fun sketching done. And cos it’s all connected by OneDrive and it’s all done in Krita native files, if I like a sketch, I can easily “finish it” at home :)
Naturally to test out my new tablet I had to draw the scrunks, I’ve missed them...
Of COURSE I gotta' share my Nimona test this #AniMonday ! While I was with BlueSky studios I got to play around with the dragon form she took. It's rough, but a lot of fun. So happy the movie is doing so well. You GOTTA' see it if you haven't yet.
Silly little companion (in spirit, if not in writing - but a man can dream) to The Art of Losing (Is Hard to Master) by the amazing @insertmeaningfulusername, the second chapter of which has just gone up this week! the little fluffball finally has a name!! :3
