It's electric blue if im not mistaken, im gonna get a tablet in exactly 3 days so maybe you could see some of my sttt i really like conceptual art and gestures and pictures with maybe some sort of meaning. What do you all think of the Wacon Bamboo Create? Do you use Photoshop or Autodesk or something else?

Maharaja Ranjit Singh listening to the Granth being recited near the Golden Temple, Amritsar. August Schoefft, ca. 1840's - 1855, Vienna, from a sketch made by Schoefft in Amritsar, 1841

I'm sure we've all seen this picture before but I had to post it again. I really do think this is breath-taking. The Granthi-sahib reading the bir on the right looks fantastic. Great colours and patterns which make the scene extremely vivid. I'm not sure why Maharaja Ranjit Singh feels the need to sit on a cushion / gadhi in the presence of Guru Sahib but there you go.

Does anyone know what the little midget is doing at the bottom-middle of the picture? He looks like a court jester. Or is it a child?

[jpsingh2]

That is a cool picture I saved it. I'm pretty sure that midget is a child maybe one of the other Prince sons of Marharaja Ranjit Singh.

So I got the Wacom Tablet

heres a really rough sketch I did. I basically copied this face I found on the internet.

I went through the face really fast just to test the pen out and then i played around with the colour.

the eyes are lions eyes.

I installed sketchbook pro but didn't really like it so I used photoshop since I've been using that for a while and am used to it.

Does anyone know how to enable pressure sensitivity in photoshop?

Great work, jpsingh! Lovely abstract style.

Really nice artwork guys! I must share these which i've seen on facebook

Ravinda Singh and Kaljugi, have you made anything new?

[VanHelsingh]

No yet, brother. I've been quite busy recently and barely had time to do the basics. But when the creative urge strikes I'm sure I'll be able to conjure something up.

Personally I'm trying to improve my basic pencil work, i.e. shading, creation of forms, etc. That's why I stick to the digital pieces as they disguise my complete lack of skill, lol.
