Langston's Second Canvas: Joseph

This is the other canvas I've been working on, Langston's first name:  Joseph.  It's much like his Looney Tunes canvas but with Hanna-Barbera characters.  I have about three more characters to draw and will start painting soon.  

Eze's Canvas: Stage One

These are a few pictures of a canvas I'm working on for Eze, who is the son of Langston's primary teacher/caretaker, Anya, at his daycare.  The design was pretty much up to me, except she wanted it to involve super heroes and sports.  So, here's what I came up with:  the entire background will look like a basketball.  I've written his name to look like a comic book title, inspired mostly by the lettering for the X-Men comic book covers.  And his name is flanked by Superman and Batman, two of his favorite super heroes.  The pics aren't great due to a combination of poor lighting and the pencil not showing up well on the orange background.  I have everything drawn except the rest of Batman.  You can see that I've only finished his chest so far.  I hope to start painting in the next day or two.    

Delving Into Digital Drawing

I just drew my first picture on a digital tablet; I am borrowing one for now from my friend Adam to get accustomed to it and see if I want to invest in one myself.  The biggest adjustment is looking at the computer screen while you draw instead of the tablet (like you do with a regular piece of paper and pencil).  Though I grew more comfortable with the process and using the tools within the hour or so of playing with it, I'm still thinking I might invest in the slightly more expensive model that allows you to draw directly on the tablet.  It will be a while before I can afford that anyhow, so, in the meantime, I may grow to like this version just fine.  I'll post my rudimentary attempt below. 

We're taking our first official family vacation this summer to Disney World.  Needless to say, I'm excited and already counting down.
