@Valefor: yeah its a slow process, but I learning..slowly haha. It's even more slow because I work so much and such long hours so I barely have free time for myself xD

@Valefor: it's going alright. I posted two I've done so far, one of my voodoo dolls and one of just a practice. It turned out actually better than I was expecting considering they apparently can be hard to get used too lol. I'll figure it out, and learn as I go. It's a process xD

Yeah I miss the mouse pad cause at least I knew what to expect, now im.learning all over again haha

@MoodyB: that is beautiful! I love it! The highlights are perfect! I haven't been overly motivated either, I don't know why, I love to use the new tablet but I've just been mainly doodling trying to figure it out lol. Nothing spectacular from me. I did do this little pieces I can show you below, nothing fancy lol

@MoodyB: I had this whole week off work, but I'm always so behind of everything cause I work so many long shifts that I still didn't have time to just relax and I go back to work next week xD I swear I need a two week vacation just to get some actual rest in haha

Oh, I hope you share here when you are done! 🥰

@MoodyB: yeah, maybe true. I'll try something different soon and see if there is a difference lol

@MoodyB: it's an oldie, not even popular, I bought it years ago lol but I know it so I figured I'd use it first to test the waters haha it's called photofiltre studio lol

@MoodyB: does clip studio cost money? If so do they ateast have a trial before buying so I can see if I like it enough to pay for it? Lol maybe it is the program I'm using. But like I said, at the very least it's faster lol for now

@MoodyB: yeah that makes sense, we'll I'll keep playing with it and my brother in law was telling me about a few programs online I can use too as a trial and see how it goes lol. For now I will say that even though there isn't much difference it took me far less time than with the laptop and mouse option lol

@MoodyB: yes, it wouldn't work without it. I was using my same program but honestly the lines are a little more rounded, less choppy. Although for my first one I should expect it looks similar as my hands aren't used to drawing on the tablet yet so I'm still a little shaky. Probably why it's so similar too. We will see. More time and practice will tell haha or maybe a new program 😅

@MoodyB:

I don't know that I see much of a difference to be honest xD maybe I'm doing something wrong haha

@MoodyB: I'm lucky I have my laptop from school, it's only a year old and amazing so I just have to get the drawing tablet. I'm hoping it goes well honestly because if so I'll be more willing to spend a higher amount of money on an even better one lol but hey it's a start! Pick it up tomorrow and I'm so excited but also trying not to get out of hand cause I know iysgoing to be a curve ball figuring it out and adjusting lol I don't want to be disappointed haha

I wish I had the time to build a PC, I've seen some Stellar ones from friends of mine and I love how personalized they are.

@Valefor: yeah I am old.school! But you can see in my lines of the art I do that they are choppy and less clean. I don't mind, but I would really prefer smoother lines.

Hahaha! Yes a mouse, and actually if we are getting technical here it's a mouse pad, cause I use my laptop now. Before my laptop it was a mouse, now I use the mouse pad which I found much harder on my fingers xD I just won a new drawing tablet on lur local auction so I'll see how it goes now once I get used to it lol

@Valefor: yeah thats true, honestly it's sad cause they were so much fun to get to know people from all over the world, all different walks of life. I think the younger generations could use that these days lol

@MoodyB: I ended up winning on at the auction. It was a Wacom one digital drawing tablet with screen. I was hoping to win the other one but in all honesty I'm glad I didn't. I'd rather spend a little right now and see if it's something I actually like and want to use and then slurge more later. But I'm excited so I'll have to play around with it soon and see how it goes haha

@MoodyB: that's true, but it's still nice to be able to show before and after. I'll have to remember to save one of my first ones once I get the tablet and then later on once I've mastered the tablet lol

How's your week going? Mine has been brutal.. I was in emerg last night in so much pain, apparently when I was at physio trying to get my back better I ended up hurting my inner thighs..go figure.. so now I have a straied muscle in both my thighs and my God does it hurt
