Project Durian had inspired me to try and change my style a little bit, and also to take off the dust from my cheap and humble tablet:

I started with a very rough and small drawing in a piece of paper, to serve as main reference of posing, proportions, forms and angles. Because it wasn't any close to a finished drawing I didn't bother to scan it, but just held it in front my webcam to take a picture:

In past Ubuntu versions it was way too boring to configure this tablet, but since last October things got very easier and painless. Big hooray to the devs!

So it was just a matter of opening The Gimp, that got lots of improvements on its painting tools in the last version (hooray again!), and playing for a while. :)
