First post here. Been dabbling with Krita for a while, mostly painting textures for 3D and a papercraft model using a Huion 610 tablet. Never liked it for drawing though because of the hand/eye disconnect. So I’ve got myself a Surface Pro, hopefully it’ll help me get back into drawing. Of course I couldn’t resist removing Windows and putting Ubuntu on it (sorry Microsoft I just prefer Linux).



Courtesy of the patched Kernel from linux-surface It seems to work pretty well. I’ve been making some custom brushes (pencils, pens, crayons) to try and replicate my scratchy drawing style, this Ceratosaurus pair is the first experiment. Entirely digital, no traditional media was harmed in the construction of this drawing.

There’s another motive at work here too, my Grandsons have moved into a new house and are wanting a mural for their bedroom. Dinosaur themed of course, there’s not much wall space but I’ll see what I can come up with.

It’s been years since I’ve done any proper drawing, this is the start of me tuning up my hand and eye a bit so I’ll probably post some more scribbles intermittently.
