Ok, well I finished one of the many things I am working on. It’s a drawing of my Paul Frank monkey watch that I did using ArtRage2 on my Wacom Graphire drawing tablet. This for Everyday Matters challenge #8; "Draw your watch or other piece of jewelry". Actually, I did most of this drawing using ArtRage2 on my tablet laptop with the touchscreen (Fujitsu P1510) so that it was like virtual drawing, and then finished it off on the Wacom tablet connected to my main computer.
EDITED TO ADD: I wanted to say THANKS SO MUCH to all of you who comment here on my blog, it really gives me a lift and inspiration! Hugs to you all! 
Great monkey watch! Saw your post on EDM group page. I’m up late tonight too, but it’s only 1 AM here.

h-m-m-m, seems like a lot of work to me to get to draw that way! maybe i’m just lazy, but i’m sure i would reach for the colored pencils! great job, though, in seeing you learn and progress w/ the wacom and artrage!

Sweet watch, Lauren. I want one like that
. Well done with the graphics tablet. I need to drag mine out occasionally just for the fun of it.

Sorry to hear about your insomnia–I’ve been having some too though last night I slept (yippee!). At least you’re putting the extra awake time to good use sketching and your monkey watch is adorable!

What a cute watch! I’ve not seen one of these. Interesting that this was drawn by computer - you’re teaching me something new. I shall watch your experiments and learning with interest.

I’ve just done my watch so it was great to see yours. Well done.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia

What a fun subject! I don’t have artrage so I don’t know how different it is from conventional drawing but I like what you’ve done.
