I still have my notes from last year. I think you did a great job. The format, having a finished file as well as captures done throughout the process as you did was really cool. Seeing you work on them as well was even better. Anyone who's even slightly interested should go to this. Easily one of the more informative panels I've ever been to at a con.

Thanks, dude! I'll try to generally stick with the format from last year, although it's 30 minutes shorter this time around, so I'll have to try to trim the fat off here and there <3

Sorry I won't have you there with me!

Damn, wish I could go, love your stuff and it'd be fun to get some pointers, just recently ordered your "Work in Progress" book and "Coffee Cats" poster.I appreciate your stuff maaaan :3

Aw, thanks, dude ^_^

Thought I'd give you an update on my thoughts of it. I bought it thinking; "Neat, this gotta have some high res pictures to enjoy" but I also got one of the best tutorials I have honestly seen, a lot of them have the "official" approach where they simply show what you "can do". But what you showed was smart things like the PS shortcommands and tips of what one should think about and other good pointers. I dunno, I just haven't seen a tutorial in the shape that fit me as perfecty as yours did, it just was what I would've asked for.

So thank you, thank you for making THE tutorial for me, will make use of your tips and later attempt to make some real painting approaches when it comes to digital media other than just linedrawing and my form of "inking".

I also now have a very nice poster of two fancy posh cats enjoying a cup of coffee framed on my wall :3

Glad to hear it! I tried to write down the process I use as simply but specifically as I could -- it's nice to know it came across as something useful to other folks, too ^_^

Thanks for the feedback!

Hey, if you ever released another book(let) of your stuff or another tutorial thingy I would most likely look into buying it :3

I am so there!

Woo~! Spread the word, bring friends <3

Especially because I think the panel itself is called like "Digital Zone: Photoshop -- learn the latest tips and tricks in Photoshop!" so it's super generic / doesn't mention general painting theory / color / composition / all the other stuff I hope to include in the program. The more people know to look out for it ahead of time, the more people won't ignore the panel based on a lame description in the con book ^_^

I think people will come because they know it's you. You've got a reputation! You're in a lot of my top five artists' top fives, if you catch my drift. So you're in my top five twice, but hell, who's counting? XD

Hopefully they will! And thanks <3

I just want to dabble, I'm not ready to spend $200 on a tablet just to putter around with digital painting. So mause techniques and shopping for a tablet on a budget would be two topics I'd be interested in.

Hmm, I think there's actually another panel happening at the same time as mine that's specifically about doing digital art on a budget -- you might check that out!

Mine is going to be more focused on art theory and how to apply that in Photoshop than it is about specific techniques or shopping tips ^_^

Digital texture and using colors! Also, will you be recording the panel to put online? (That would be very cool.)

Thanks for the input! And I'll def. look into it <3

If anyone else has experience with that sort of thing / advice on how to best go about it, I'd be super game to hear it!

argh >.< I wish I could good and see it.

Maybe next time!

I wish I could go but I'm a broke college student. Although I might be able to go next year.

Maybe see you next year, then!

i know i cant wait.

For an amateur like me, this panel is an incredible opportunity to learn from a really smart and truly talented artist. I will be there, notebook in hand. As for what I'd like to see, I very much admire your use of textures and your nuanced palettes; some explanation of your process in choosing colors and textures would be welcome. See you there!

Sounds good, dude <3 I'll add that to the list!

Awesome! i can't wait!

Sweet! See you there ^_^

That was absolutely the best panel I've ever been to!

That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed it ^_^
