I got a new toy!
And another time-waster.
This is a good time-waster, though. Using my left-brain most of the day, I need to give my right-brain some exercise -- if for no other reason than to give my left-brain much needed rest.
I purchased a Wacom Bamboo Fun graphics tablet as a Christmas present to myself. It arrived today, and I've been playing with it for the last hour. Most of that time I spent loading the software.
I then set out to create my very first drawing.
As with all tools, I need to practice with it a lot before I gain any proficiency.
This little drawing shows well how much practice I need:

It's not great, but not terrible either. I used Corel Painter IX.5 and the calligraphy pen tool. I will need to play with both the software and the tablet for months before I learn half of their capabilities.
It'll be fun, though, and that's the biggest reward -- geek that I am.
