Digital Sketching

I just landed a Wacom Intuous 4 tablet for Christmas so I thought I'd post my first sketch attempt with it.

I'm really impressed.  I think that combining it with CS5's amazing brush setup I'll be able to bypass a lot of analog process work and jump straight to digital.  This will save time and add flexibility while still preserving the looseness of hand rendering.  Also it's essentially the same techniques, so you stay in practice with sketching even though it's not a piece of paper you are sketching on.

XMas Trees (in 3d)

Here is a major load of images.  I'm trying to learn a new tree growing piece of software (I'll post a review of the software soon) along with winter render techniques.  I'm working on a small residential project in a winter scene.  I'm excited about it.  Winter has a certain charm about it when it comes to renderings.

Here are some renderings that I've been doing as practice for the final product.
