Oh Happy Day!

So as you can tell I'm not on extended leave and did not get the organ I was waiting for. I titled this post "Oh Happy Day!" not because I got a transplant or rather didn't, but because I just ordered a Wacom Intuos4 Medium Tablet and it will be here in 2 days. I absolutely cannot wait to move back into digital art. I say "back into digital art" because I used to do lots of digital art. I took a year off to improve my drawing skill because I was unhappy with my abilities. I spent that year getting back to basics with mostly just a pencil and sketchbook. I'm in the middle of my 7th sketchbook and I'm finally happy with my basics enough that in addition to traditional work I feel comfortable getting back to digital work as well. Drawing with a mouse would be too difficult though and this Wacom tablet will help me more fluidly transfer my skill. Anyway, here are two pieces like usual.

Screamer 2

Screamer 3

These are two more pieces in my screamer series. I went through a large stretch of depression due to my chronic illness and whenever it hit me like a bag of hammers I drew things like this. I often felt like screaming but instead I drew these. I still draw them when I get depressed as they have become therapeutic although I draw them much less than I used to. I'm not as depressed and hardly feel the need. Anyway, I can't wait for my tablet to arrive. I'm so excited. Thanks for reading about my brainsplosion.
