As I said on my journal, I've bought a Wacom Bamboo Create tablet. And this is the result of a first test, the good old Jabberjaw.

The table comes with a bundle of software (Photoshop Elements 10, Corel Painter Essentials 4, AutoDesk Sketchbook Express 5.2), but I've decided to try with something else: Krita.

Krita is an Open & Free piece of software for digital painting, available on Linux and Windows (this one is kinda buggy, but they promise it'll be better in the near future), and I've used it because I'm a supporter of that kind of software (I'll also try MyPaint and GIMP), and I want to discover a suitable workflow for the comic I have in mind using this. I also hope this will encourage more folks to try it if this is what they like.

Anyway, as I said this is a first attempt, so don't think Krita is bad because it' not, it's just my lack of skills.

You can see a gallery here to see what this is capable of used by more capable hands: krita.org/gallery
