Paintings and a Tablet

Today is a beautiful day! Finally, I have bought my own graphics tablet. I decided to go with Genius G-Pen 560. It is cheap, and it gets the job done. Although of course, I hope to have my own Wacom Intuos3 tablet along with their 6d Art Pen.
Using graphics tablet when doing artwork is immensely useful compared to working with a mouse. I’ve pretty much gotten used to it within 15mins of doodling in Corel Painter X - which by the way is an excellent, excellent software every artist should have.
After I’ve had my fill of doodling, I decided to search for my paintings - and was happy to find some of them!
This is a painting I did after we went to Batanes, my hometown, in the summer of 1998. I was trying to do a painting influenced by one of our local painters (whose name escapes me at the moment).
This one I also made in 1998, it is signed Ramir, as it is my real name. Now, you know. Tee-hee!
This one is an attempt at watercolors AND portrait painting. Didn’t turn out the way I wanted it though. It’s supposed to be a portrait of my sister - who has black hair and dark brown eyes.
This one is done in acrylic. If I’m not mistaken, it is a photograph that I might have seen in a magazine. I was experimenting with textures here and i used a palette knife for most of the painting, except the underpainting.
I hope to see my other paintings too. I will try and recreate some of these paintings either in Photshop or Painter. By the way, the direction of this blog will now focus on digital paintings, of course you will still see posts on blogging and monetization every now and then. Till then!

This blog will contain blogging tips & tricks, fireworks tutorials, photoshop tutorials, web design, graphics, and then some.
