First drawing done in my new tablet. It's roughly four times larger in both resolution and surface area. Both will take some time fully adapting to. So far I'm absolutely in love with it! Being able to see 100% of the image in a decent enough resolution to fit all the UI elements I use in there... having a super bright color calibrated tablet which eliminated the necessity to use the monitors I was using for color testing... ugh. There are so many quality of life improvements my new art set up has introduced me to. At first I was intimidated by the size and indeed I'm not using my whole arm in drawing just yet and I do find myself cornered in a single quadrant for most of my strokes but the fact that I can get such a large portion of the image in on the same screen is a game changer and the ergonomic implications has my back preemtively thanking me for no longer being hunched over a screen but instead hanging back to take it all in as I work.

And I owe it all to you! The people who support the silly things I do...

Sincerely... Thank You.

All of the art tools I buy because of you and in hopes that I'm able to give you something better and more of~

Anyway enough of the sappyness.

I did record much of it but I lost the second portion. I got most of the foot work in there though - it's just that the new resolution presented some problems to the recording software I use. Even when I lowered the frame rate to 20 fps and tried to control the bit rate the file size is still almost double and any time the recording goes over a gig using the hardware encoder I use and there is an inherent risk of corruption w hen the recording ends. Sometimes I can recover the files. Sometimes I can't. A solution is to buy a dedicated hard drive and record videos raw or run the video out through a video capture pipeline and I think I will eventually do just that.
