Time to get the new year's resolutions started early and upload various older and more recent bits that I've done. This has partly been triggered by me coming across this old post: http://kaijus-choice.tumblr.com/post/120730064807/nanomango-update and realizing that while I've still been drawing on and off since then, all of that completely unwarranted confidence that is essential to getting good at drawing from *checks notes* three and a half years ago?! just kind of left me; I've drawn and sketched a surprising amount since then, but it was all exercises and copying others, and I could make an A3 sheet of paper last a good couple of months

Despite being an enormous procrastinator, I've made a determined effort to draw and to present what I do for severe public savagings, so yay for me. But as you can see, my upload options are limited to a spectacularly poor Android, one seemingly designed to shit the bed in everything you ask of it, and whatever lighting the sun can throw at me that day. It's worth pointing out that the UK is going through Monsoon season right now. I could buy a scanner, but being a digitally minded man, I'd quite like to get a tablet and draw straight into Photoshop. Assuming I have a budget of less than £100, would you recommend a scanner or tablet, an
