Woe With Vectors
Finally the vectors start to look the way I intended. More dirt och pen-like and less sterile and perfect. Didn't take that long to draw either, so I'm getting faster as well. Don't really know the exat time though, I was watching the last few episodes of Boston Legals …
About
There are something about lines that I find fascinating. The way they go on or how they bend--both those that are imperfectly hand-drawn and those that have a spline-function at heart. Like is a rather small word, but so is love. And I love half-tone patterns and text. And dual-toned images or... Fuck all. If it's a letter or a drawn nose doesn't matter. As long as it speaks to me, I will love it to death.

Cheers for the advice. I've pretty much made my mind up. It's time to get the tablet. ;-)

You use a tablet?
I've been toying with the idea for a while now. I used to have a light pen for a Commodore 64, but that's as close to digital freehand that I ever got.
Is it fairly intuitive to pick up?
