Yesterday I received a very welcome package at my door, my new Intuos5 by Wacom. New tools are always exciting but they usually take a bit of practice to get used to. Here’s my first practice piece; a bit rough but I’m getting the hang of it. Along with the tablet I also got a copy of Painter 12, another new tool for me to learn and get acquainted with. I’m pretty excited to dive in and see what features Painter has to offer.

It looks like I’ll be wading through some tutorials for the next few weeks while I get my feet wet. Anyone out there have any advice? I’d love to hear it!  –S.
