To all creative friends who are emailing me and asking what medium I use and how I create my current B) "e" Sketches.

Some of my sketches during earlier years (1970s-2008) were all done in pencil, www.flickr.com/photos/bayaniartist/4607584246/in/set-7215... .pen/ink, charcoal, pastels, acrylic and oil paints with traditional art tools. Then on June 2009, my art creativity got wired. I got addicted to a tablet...

Applying the basics and the old school traditional (line) drawing style and technique but with a different art tools, using a Bamboo tablet with the versatile all in one stylus pen and a big iMac with PS with unlimited art tools and colors.

I call it green art.. without the expense of buying art supplies (paints, brushes, pen, pencil , paper or canvas, etc) No mess to clean up. And it can be done/printed in any size, anywhere (with a laptop) or anytime whenever you're in the mood to sketch, doodle or paint.

It's really an enjoyable daily artworkout for me.

Really appreciate all your inspiring comments, your time and visits.

Sincerely,

Bayani Espiritu de Leon
