I've recently gotten my old Tablet back!

My Ex who is now one of my Best friends is a very clever guy who has a nack for fixing electronics. It was months ago that my old wacom stopped working properly and I allowed him to have a fiddle with it. He's a busy guy in Uni so it took him a while to get around to fixing it totally, but in the end he managed to fix it.

It is back on my desk in its favourite place, right under my keyboard

I'm happy it's back, because although it was very kind of Daniel to buy me a new one, it was never really comfortable or efficient enough to draw with. So now it's working agani I have been working on a big deviation to submit. It i fan-art of a Draenei female casting magic spells.

My aim is to practice an odd perspective, including foreshortening. Also to colour something properly with the inclusion of a decent backdrop, and to experiment with textures a little. I've also made sure I have chosen a base "look" to her that I'd never choose if she were my character. There's a hairstyle I really don't much like because it's too prissy in my opinion, though it is very popular among the European players and most likely the US players too

Hopefully the piece will be finished soon, but I work pretty much full time and am also juggling a few other things. It's rare that I draw anything these days and it saddens me that I feel like I am losing a talent that took so long to build and progress with. I feel as though I am totally crap at drawing and colouring since I took such a long break and look forward to perhaps forcing myself to re-learn the key points and techniques.

I will be dedicating the piece to my lovely friend Saul who was always there when I needed him and has always supported me with my art and my writing.
