Another finger-sketch on the tablet, sitting in the Boulevard Café at UBC. A dark, rainy spring day encouraged me to push in colour where there was none.

Here are four more sketches done on our tablet in the Boulevard Café. I’m getting to know SketchBook Pro a little more since my first try.

I had a decent cappucino and tried drawing on our new Asus Transformer Prime tablet at the Boulevard Café on UBC campus.
