My trial of SAI ran out, so I'm back to using photoshop elements 7. Which really isn't that bad.....at least for right now

But the thing is, drawing with a tablet is exponentially harder than using a traditional pencil. It took me almost an hour just to get a sketch done, and that's not even adding the levels of color and possible detail, just a very, VERY basic sketch. My eyes aren't hurting too bad, though, because I haven't used many screens today(thanks to  taasla and  LCPatch for the advice about that)

But even so, I'm having to stop, and I'll come back tomorrow, and i I really wanted to I could make this go all week, depending on how much I try at this one thing. I know it will take less time in the future, but the amount of extra tings I'm doing to try and get this to work seems unprecedented right now.

I know I'm bitching about nothing that big, but I wanted to get it out there.

On a separate but not entirely unrelated note, I want to use my tablet all the time now so I can color, because I am sick of grayyyyyyy I WANT SHINY BRIGHT DANGLIES!!! not that gray shit.

Plus I think that adding the element of color will make you guys happy too. So that's what I'm up to
