Using SAMSUNG Notes for Drawing

Aside from daydreaming, I like to draw. Especially now that I am on my semester break. I do admit that I need to prepare my research proposal for my Masters course, but I still am not sure if my chosen topic is a doable topic. Specifically, I am very concerned about the availability of data (ugh). 

To get my head out of this worry, I would draw something, or think of the story line and dialogues for Project Luna. Other times, I'd just draw things that I saw which I thought would be cute to draw.

Lately, I've been using my SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S3's Notes to draw. I think it is a very convenient tool to use for drawing, for colouring as well. On top, we can choose what tools we want to use, such as pencil, paint brush or markers. Then we can customise the size of the tool. I'd always resize the marker to a larger size when colouring my drawings as it enables me to colour in a lot of spaces with just one swipe and this saves time.

There are many more features but I haven't tried them yet. Maybe will do in the future.

What I've been experimenting lately would be adding shadows to my drawings. I have very limited knowledge in shadowing, but I think I did well, referring to other pictures or drawings for guidance. Here are the results so far...

Claire Denise, the main character for my Project Luna. I actually hesitated to make her as muscular as this, but after browsing some images and encountering Korra from The Legend of Korra, I became more confident; "This is how I want Claire to be!"

Kiti curling into a curry puff. The stray cat Kiti has been spraying in our house frequently nowadays, and sometimes when he does, we would lecture him. He understands that we are angry at him when we lecture him, and he would curl himself and close his eyes. Today, he curled himself into a curry puff kinda shape. He was so cute that I just had to draw this.
