I got up at 8 am, organized my things, and spent nearly 7 hours (with short meal breaks) drawing in front of a big chunk of season 1 of "Mad Men". I got some figure drawing done, and several 'spirals' (a style of drawing I came up with a few years ago, wherein the female form is rendered with as many spirals as possible, with minimal non-spiral lines). It's amazing how swiftly the time always goes by when set up to draw in front of the tv this way.
I also came to the conclusion that not everything is interesting enough to photograph. Suffice to say I am happy with my work, and will share finished projects, but probably little 'practice' work.
Oh, and I broke out the tablet yesterday afternoon, to give it a test run. It was a bit difficult to get into the swing of things (lining up the action of my hand with the point on the screen), but it was an hour or so of exploratory fun. I'll delve deeper into it later this week. It's definitely a technique that requires a lot of refining, and customizing the keys will take some learning.
