Tablets ...
15 years ago
... damn, no one mentioned to me that these things have a bit of a learning curve to them ... don't rest your paw on it (that messes it up some), don't try to watch what you draw when looking down (that doesn't work for this cheepy tablet that doesn't have a built in screen), don't try to do a finished piece of artwork the first time you take the damn thing out of the box because you're gonna head-desk yourself to death ...
well I guess the whole idea behind these images I'm doing is to ...
a) apparently learn to draw again since to my mind this thing is WAYYYY different that what I have been used to ...
b) oh dear god, I have to color with this thing too? ... how the hell is that going to work ...
c) learn how to use Open Canvas better (yes yes, I have photoshop CS4 but I opened it, got lost with all the toys - I think simpler is better right now)
d) give up on perfection on the first damn image and stop erasing half of what I draw after I draw it because it's not quite right ... I can always re-do the ones I hate the result of later after I improve ...
So, while I'm on the randomness and bitching ...
Does anyone want me to make an attempt at streaming while I doodle?
and
Are people interested enough to want me to post the huge excel spreadsheet that has this list of comissions on it? (and no, I'm not doing them in any particular order, just whatever strikes my fancy first, or the random ... THAT ONE!!)
actually does anyone have any questions at all? ...
... no I haven't managed to complete any of them yet :p ... new equipment, learning curve, remembering how to draw decentlyish ...

I use the "pen tool" in photoshop, some people call that cheating, I think it's awesome, since I don't have a tablet, scanner or even a mouse. It's quite easy to use. Give it a try!
Also, when you mentioned head-desk, made me think of martial artists breaking a tablet with their head. Try it lol
*whines* noooo! I just bought this thing :/
and I'll figure out something with the spreadsheet, there has to be something somewhere to make it all txt file like
J/K :)
Thanks for the offer - I'll be bugging people for advice as I run into technical hurdles :)
