eye study

trying my hand again at shading. I got a nice reference to draw from here and I figured I should put earnest effort in trying to shade…

I am pretty sure I am not doing it right, Either I am putting too much pressure on the tablet or may be not using the right brush size or gray shade… My tablet is showing visible scraches. May be I should put on a layer of some protective material to keep the stuff safe. If anyone uses a graphics tablet and knows how to make durable use of it, I would like to hear comments.

Found the information on this site:
Keep your tablet clean; grit, dust, dirt, and foreign particles can scratch the surface of the tablet when rubbed, so try not to let them build up.
Perhaps it will help if you clean the tablet regularly to rid of foreign particles. So try it!

Thanks, I try that once in a while… But came up with another idea. I took a piece of paper and stuck it on top of the drawing surface (using scotch tape). It works fine. Interestingly:
1. The feeling of “drawing” on paper is different from the more smooth surface of the tablet.
2. Paper gets indentations after a few strong strokes and that makes drawing smooth curves a bit difficult.
I guess I can try different kinds of paper and learn to work within the constraints…
