K, I added some art work and I must admit it was kind of cool to see your own stuff on the computer and uploading it. I realized that I need to start taking better care of my sketches and that I would really like to get some of my work inked and colored. I think that would encourage me to complete my sketches instead of leaving them in limbo. If any of you out there are interested in coloring any of them, let me know and it's cool as long as I get a copy.
Also if any of you know any cheap (CHEAP)coloring program let me know. I'm new at this and I would like to try my hand at inker and colorist. Until then, I'll just keep adding more pics.

Becoming A Better Artist: Learning to Not Copy
Well it's been a while since i have done a journal. In fact usually, I disappear from DA during the year because of my work and how much time that it takes away. So I finally decided after years of not watching my work go anywhere because I wasn't spending much time getting better because I was never getting the chance to practice that I had to make time if I really enjoyed this as a hobby.
I began with the idea of well maybe if I only get on here once a week that I would be doing better than I normal did in the past and I could use this time to look on here and to also do a little bit of artwork myself while doing so. This quickly turned
Learning To Color Can Be A Real .........HHhmm...!
So it has been a lengthy long drawn out process that throughout the year I have been studying. Due to my work and how extensive it can be I can not get the practice for drawing or learning to color in. So throughout the year I have just been compiling, reading , learning (I don't have a full Photoshop, just elements). So whatever I would learn about through Photoshop I would then have to go and learn about it on my own on Elements. Finally I started finding places online that would explain Elements which made my life so much easier.
I swear it felt like learning a anew language all over again and learning how things work. Sometimes it w
SKETCHING CLEANER LINES HELP!!!!
So it's been a while since I was on here because I had some problems with my right hand and have been wearing an arm brace to see if that would help to fix things for me. Luckily it has worked and since then I was suppose to ease back into using my right hand again so that I don't put too much stress on it.
I have found that a little break really has helped out a lot. I have recently started sketching again and believe it or not my sketches have turned out better than my previous ones. I have had to take it slower with the pics so that means I could spend more time making sure that I clean up a lot of the things that I usually never clean
LEARNING TO COLOR HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
Well so I have finally lost my mind and for some reason decided to learn how to ink color. Because I am broke as a joke I downloaded Paint.net ::w00t:: and have been trying to learn of of that.
First I want to say that this is some hard crap and really am confused. In most of the tutorials that I find here and on youtube people tend to think that others can read at the speed of light and they take off doing rather than explaining. I guess everyone wasn't meant to be teachers. Anywho, I bought a Bamboo Pen and Touch Tablet hoping that that would make things a bit easier but so far not seeing the advantages of it yet.
Coloring is the hard

You can try Open Canvas 1.1 which is completely free, but its got kinda a high learning curve and its easier to use if you have a tablet. There's also Paint.NET which is a free paint program for Windows. It has a lot of the same features as photoshop, but you must have a legal copy of windows and they require that you also download the .NET Framework to run the software(free as well).
