You know what I hate about actually getting around to reading stuff? It's that whenever I do have time to go and read a book or a comic or what have you, I completely forget that I've got stuff to read. So what happens is that I end up dicking around on the computer for a few hours and then when I look to the books on the nightstand by my bed I want to smack myself. Luckily I haven't got that many unread books lying around at the moment, but the unread books I've got lying around are pretty long, and that's a bit intimidating. I find longer books intimidating, during the times when I find myself not reading so much. For the first four or five months of '09 I had a ton of reading mojo and found myself just plowing through a ton of books, and long books weren't nearly as scary then. Then my reading spree came to an end while reading The Picture of Dorian Grey which somehow took me twice as long to read as most books thrice it's size. Ahh I dunno. Have you ever read that book? I was expecting to enjoy it more than I actually did :(

ahhh now you're going and making me all jealous with that class ;___; don't tempt me into doing English, man. Well, you probably won't be able to, but iaojaotej whata class.

But but Paint Shop Pro wasn't even made for photo editting?? Not in the way Photoshop was, at least. And I mean, it all depends on what you're using it for. I can't diss SAI or something with regards to how well the watercolour tool blends colours by saying "you can't do photo manips with i!!!" cause dude, that doesn't even have anything to do with what you're using it for.

I remember checking the price for Photoshop around '02, '03 or something, and I think it was well around six hundred dollars. I think SAI goes for about $40 though and I should probably shut up about that program already but it is the love of my life, if you can't tell already. SAI/Photoshop is my otp.

that's why you make palettes and use the eyedropper tool buddy :)
Having a tablet to piss around with is really nice too. Just to doodle whatever the hell. And you know what's also great about tablets? You don't get the materials all over the side of your hands. Man, sometimes when I start doodling in school, I find myself at the end of the day and the entire side of my hand has gotten all grey from the graphite rubbing off on to my skin, from the paper. Well, this happens when I'm alone at home drawing something nice too, but sometimes having half of your hand shaded in really confuses people.

And don't even get me started on the dude that said my art looked "amateurish" because I like to use bright colours...
WHAT. WHAT. WHAT THE HELL. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT, EITHER. He didn't even say that to me and I find myself ~raging on the inside~ because goddamn, that is one hell of a stupid thing to say. As if people who've been making a living of art for decades don't use bright colours, ever, nope.
(. . .seriously ???????)

hahah aww. did you meet her when you got it signed, or was there some kind of deal at her site going on? I'd bet that a house that had her work all over it would be quite an, err, eccentric kind of house indeed. Does she have any prints bigger than 13x19? Cause that's not overly huge, I think. Or maybe my mental-ruler is failing me and I should go use the ruler that's right in front of me to figure it out. . . I'm just thinkin' it'd be nice to have a HUGE picture of a smiling pear up on my wall, 's all. Or maybe the bighorned pear, because for some reason that actually made me go buhyooo. Mind you, I don't buhyoo too often because I have no soul

Well it makes me wonder, how often do you draw anyways? Like, every day just a little thing every few days or. . .? Don't be discouraged ;___; the only road you're on is the road of IMPROVEMENT, which might be a rocky road with lots of bumps and cracks but I assure you that you'll see some wonderful scenery on the waaaaaaayyyyyohhh god remind me never to be a motivational coach /headdesk seriously though quitting is just not cool. not that i'm telling you to make it your number one priority but ah, well, don't stop believing yeah? :)
