Summer Straw Hat

For my my first Painting using my XP-Pen Pro 24 I decided to do a study painting of Airi Suzuki in a summer dress and straw hat. I was a bit intimidated because of all the details on the hat and the dress. But once I started I just got in the groove.

I just recently upgraded my drawing monitor from a 16 inch one to a 24 inch one. My plan was to wait for next year but there was a used one for a good price so I decided to take the plunge. I was surprised by how huge it was. I had to change my set up again since I don’t have the space for the old monitor arm I was using with my 16 inch set up. So far I am loving being able to see so much of the canvas as I work and being able to work on more of it as once. Now I have to move the painting less. The only downside is that the pen has this annoying problem when I’m resizing the brush that my previous 16 inch monitor did not have. I guess all that marketing about having a smarter chip in the pen was not all for show. I wonder if they will ever update the pen to this monitor. I will update how it holds up as I use it more.
