I find it awkward that my preferred method of drawing keeps changing. By that, I mean that I seem to go back and forth between what method of drawing is easier for me.

Though I've been pretty inactive for a few years, I've been doodling every so often. However, I keep switching between tablet and pencil/paper, I find one to be easier than the other, but then, there will be a reversal. It's more annoying than anything else, really.

I also found that using VGA as an aid does NOT help me. When I draw on my laptop, but am looking at my HDTV screen, my eyes get strained very quickly--more quickly than if I look at my laptop screen.

I've been doing a fair bit of practice with human figures. I'm trying to better myself in regard to drawing anime-style figures, but I'm doing it without any sort of aid (at the moment, anyway).

I'm still dealing with the block, but I'm going to try to break it... It's been a huge issue for me since the 8th grade.

  • Mood: Hope

Wow, the GIMP is so much better than Paint. It's much more similar to that ridiculously expensive program that the professionals use called Photoshop, but it has better support - almost anyone who's heard of Creative Commons can help you use it.

If you need help, just Google your question, and I bet it's been answered. If not, feel free to ask me and I'll try to either find you the answer or answer the question, whichever is easier at the time.

Switching from MSPaint? I'd say get familiar with opacity and layers! They're fun! You can now make images that don't have sharp corners! ^^
