Description
I thought it was about time I drew my favourite animal for you, so here's one of my oldest OCs Nook the raccoon (not named after the Animal Crossing character!) This drawing was a bit of an experiment, as I am learning how to use my new Intuos Wacom tablet and software. I usually use Sketchbook Pro on the IPad, so using a computer to draw is a whole different world to me! The line art is traditionally hand drawn in black ink and then scanned and coloured digitally. I quite like the effect this gives, so I'm going to try it with my Zookie the Dragon comics too

Well done with the digital colouring, I think you pretty much have the hang of it from what I can see here.

Thanks a lot. I'm really getting the hang of the new software... still a bit slow though!

That's cool, I didn't know raccoons were your favorite animal. They are mine too.
This turned out beautifully! Nook looks very relaxed.
That's what I do too actually. I draw and ink the lines in with pens traditionally, then color the picture digitally whenever I decide to do a digital piece of artwork. So technically, it is pretty much half and half if you really think about it.

It's nice to know you create your digital pieces in a similar way. It's something I have just started experimenting with and I like the effect so far

Awww~ He's a cutie! ^^ :3 Try not to roll over...
I also use a Wacom Intuos too...what software do you use?
Also, is he going to make a cameo in a Zookie comic strip?

Glad you like him!
i've just started playing around with comic studio paint pro which came bundled with the tablet. I like it, but still trying to work everything out (there are so many tools and effects!)
originally I created this little chap first... a very long time ago now! Then Zookie came along shortly after. They were my original duo, but unfortunately as the comic is set in the Chilterns and the wildlife is British he doesn't really fit the comic. May do a bonus illustration of the two of them

Aww~ you're welcome
"Comic studio Paint Pro"...hmmm, can't say I've heard of that one...I'll just stick to GIMP for the time being!
Interesting little backstory there on your OCs

I think it was called Manga Studio until recently?

Aah...now I've heard of "Manga Studio"... Makes a bit more sense now
