Tonight might not really count as a Speedpaint Sunday; I started off in the way that I’ve been going at these the last few months, and idly wondered if my frustrations were stemming from an inability to use the tablet properly or just whatever mental block I have around painting.
So I stopped trying to wrangle hard-edged blobs of color into soft-edged blobs of color, and just drew. I was pretty happy with the result, right up until my wrist started hurting, which is annoying because I’ve been spending quite a bit of time trying to hammer my workspace into something remotely ergonomic.
So clearly, I can draw with the stupid thing, but I end up hurting my wrist and not knowing what to do with random blobs of color. Whee.
When I get things straightened out a bit more, I have to sign up for some sort of painting class; I don’t think that I can really sort this out by myself, even though I would like to- my brain just seems to work in terms of lines, not colors and edges, and that’s okay.
