Cool!

I love the one on the upper right hand side. Oh, Gunn. Awesome.

These are great Astrid. Especially the one with the hubcap ax.

Apparently, according to J at a Con I was at last weekend, one of the few things he got to keep - which was great.

Honey, it's so cool!
I loved the upper left one, and the upper right one. I can't say it's strikingly Gunn's face, but you're getting there. And anyway, I'd kill to have your talent.

Me? I'm a photoshop wiz, with very little actual drawing powers. This is why lately I've been trying my hand at vector art - it's a way to make illustrations on the computer, not by hand. It's lamer, I know this, but I work with what I can.

As to "what's a layer" and other PS mysteries - I can explain it all to you if you'd like. We can maybe meet over the messenger and do it play by play.

You'll see that the major advantage of working with a software is the fact that you can UNDO!!! And baby, that's priceless right there.

Drawing is a lot more about practice than actual talent, though. All it takes in order to draw well is to draw a lot. Hm, I guess you need the drive, the desire... but he rest is just practice.

Excellent, thanks! Good to know. I'm gonna buy a Photoshop for Beginners book to get the basics down and get an idea what the program does. I'll come and bug you when I have specific questions. I don't like being ignorant. :p

Veddy nice!

No way in hell is computer coloring faster than marker or watercolor.

I guess it depends on your background. Speaking as someone who sucks at watercolor, coloring with Photoshop is infinitely preferable!

Yeah, that makes sense. They're different techniques, and it depends on what you're used to. I mainly interested in ways to combine the two: first watercolour, then add some finishing touches and effects on the computer.

Love your sketches!

I'm photoshop user too.
At first I bought the lecture book,kind of "complete photoshop for just a week"
It's very helpful and save my time.

My friends who draw illustrations is using adobe Illustrator.
It's better for illustrations I heard.

*nod* something like that, that's what I need. Just something really basic to get going. I'll check on Amazon, there must be dozens of books like that.
