Well even though yesterday I was feeling a little overwhelmed with my new Wacom Cintiq and a little overwhelmed with the prospect of learning how to create digital art this morning I got up, drank my coffee, and got to work.

I searched for various Youtube videos on how to use Krita which is the software I chose to get started with. I also have access to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop but I wanted to start with a less complicated program that resembled adobe products so I could get a feel for the brushes and other tools available to me like layering and clipping.

So in all, I spent about 5 hours this morning working on the Wacom watching tutorials, and trying out different features in Krita. After spending a little bit of time working with the gradient tool, some stamp brushes, and drawing I came up with the following which is not a bad start.
