Timing and Spacing

Here's a few five minute life drawing sketches I did with the tablet.

I did these on Saturday using Corel Painter IX.5 (shouldn't that be IX.V?) on the LE1600 with the regular pen. This is the first time I've done any figure drawing (from a model) in about two years. At first I wasn't very happy with them, but when I compare them to what I did this morning with Conte crayon and paper, I think they turned out reasonably well.

I'm still having difficulty with my line widths and drawing too dark, but I have that problem with pencil and paper, so... there you are.

I'm also still getting my tools setup and accessible. I've got a custom palette with scripts that will create portrait and landscape paper and useful drawing tools, but saving is still a pain. I need to get some colors quickly selectable (and then figure out what the settings are to match conte crayons). I'd love an script that creates a directory with todays date and saves each drawing with a sequential number (if that's even possible).
