Specularity

I'm trying to get my tablet to produce drawings that look like my sketchbook. I still have much more control with a real pencil.

The refraction at the top edge was especially gratifying on this piece. Am I the only person that has favorite spots of drawings?

I had a lot more going on around the glass, but through the glory of photoshop layers, I removed it for a later day.

And while I may have broken a few laws doing it, I think it was a worthwhile way to spend part of Valentine's day ( the other part being spent watching "Primer" with wifey friend. What a wonderful movie. ).

wow, Ben, I didn't know this was a piece done on a tablet at first. The swirling of the wine as it settles in the glass is interesting, and the wine in general is very organic, which provides a stark contrast to the glass. You should do one of these drawings everyday before bed, coupled with the pushups for exercise :)
