About a week ago, I wrote a post containing a description of the presents I received for my birthday. Among them was a tablet that lets me draw on the computer much easier. For an example, here is my handwriting using a mouse versus using the tablet pen.
As you can see, I find it much easier to write with the tablet, and my handwriting is pretty atrocious with the mouse. When I described this tablet, I also said that I could copy peoples handwriting. So today I want to show you this as well. For this, what I did was I had each of my
parents write down part of a verse (Psalm 118:24) on a piece of paper in their cursive handwriting. Then, I went back with the tablet pen and copied it. Here they are, but

What I figured out from this is that my Mom's handwriting is actually easier to trace than my Dad's cursive. By the way, I say "my Dad's cursive" instead of "my Dad's handwriting" because he usually writes in some form of print, but I figured cursive is easier to trace. I thought tracing their handwriting was interesting, because I have tried writing like my Mom before, and found it really hard to copy freehand. In other news for the tablet, I have another picture trace that my brother requested. I was drawing with my tablet one day, and showed him a picture of a dragon in a shell that I copied off the internet. So, he told me to find a turtle picture and copy it. Here it is:

I both traced and free-handed the turtle, but the program for tracing shut down and I lost that one. However, I was actually really impressed with myself ;) in drawing the turtle free-hand. What I liked the most was the turtle head shape. I have tried drawing turtles and other animals before, and the head shape is what always messes me up. In other words, the tablet is doing its job and helping me with my drawing skills! I hope to continue to practice and become better at drawing with this tablet.
I hope you enjoyed this post, and leave any comments below or on Facebook.
