Hey all, get this. So recently I've been re-inspired to draw again,( I honestly never know why I stopped), and after about a total of 10+ hours in the past four days of feverish doodles and sketches, I think my sorry skills are returning.( Taking a year hiatus from drawing makes you rusty.....) You see, you know you start being an artist again because, you start noticing things. ( No not dead people!) Lets say I'm watching TV, and lets say it a cartoon.....called.....Peter Griffen's Magical Adventures ( I know, I get weird late at night.) Well, my mind's eye starts picking apart the character designs and crap like that. ( Think that crazy guy from that movie "A Beautiful Mind") Am I insane? Yes, on a inspired artistic level.
So I'm cruising through google.com and all looking at fanart and crap like that....(Have you seen some of that, it really helps my ego to see such woeful art)when I notice all these great works that look like professional cells. I investigate these website's "How-to" sections to find out they use Adobe PhotoShop.
So I'm all "Holy shiz- I gotta hook myself up wid some o' dat biz now!" I check it out, it costs over 100 bucks! So when I finally face the fact that my scribbles are doomed to colored pencils and markers. I see if I can...ahem..."aquire" photoshop through a download with "no charge." I DID find a free trial version, and I picked it up, ( I don't LIKE to break the law after all.) Well, lets just say if even consider yourself a fan of drawing check this out. Now all I have to do is make a quick 100 bucks.....and bring my terrible pieces of artist trash to a tolerable level to grace the internet, nay my hard drive. (They say you yourself are your strongest critic if you are serious about art. I agree.)
Hay, Must be the Mon-nay!
