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 :
: 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 part. Every freaking tutorial I read shows this color this color this color but what I'm looking for as a novice is what icons people are clicking on, how to get different paint brushes so that my inks look more natural. Stuff like that would be a great help.
So if anybody reads this and you know some great tutorials here or even on youtube please hook me up because I'm really into this coloring thing or I plan on getting as good as possible and I'm not interested in upgrading to Photoshop LOL atleast not right now.
Oh props to whomever created this skin.

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
WORK WORK WORK
Well I have been away from the art scene for a few months because work has gotten kind of heavy. I must say that I have missed it sorely. I didn't have much time to do any sketching because by the end of the night I was so exhausted I just clunked out! We summer is here and the work schedule is a lot lighter now and I am able to get back to my passion of ART!
A lot have been going on here since I was last here and a lot of really good artist out there. Man I feel like I haven't worked as hard as I should have and a lot of these beginners are just freaking amazing. I wonder if some of you have real jobs your work? LOL
So with the last w
