Artist's Comments

Soooo I want Photoshop so bad. But CS4 is like $700. :ohnoes: I don't have that much money to freely spend it on Photoshop. I have schoolbooks to get in a month for my summer class which will cost about $200. For math books. What could be so expensive about a math book I'll use for two months?! I don't know. But they're taking all my money. Urgh.

But I've been looking around devA lately, missing making art, and I've found tons of cool stuff, vector, vexel, photomanips...it looks so fun! And so many people have learned it by themselves! I don't have Photoshop though; the most advanced editing program I have is Paint.Net. Which is awesome, but I'd love to do tons more.

So I was looking for a basic vector tutorial so I could get some sort of idea what it is and how to do it, and I found this one: [link] So I ended up doing somthing sort of similar to it. It's my first one so it's not as good, but I don't think it's hideous. I hope not. I'll probably scrap it later. I just love that kind of stuff though, with bright colors. :D Hopefully I can get CS4 or something for Christmas.

Sooo yeah...hope this isn't too embarrassing to post. :XD: The tree, person, and bird I just used Microsoft Clip-Art. I got brushes from here: [link] I used brush types at the roots to reflect my interests. :D And...that's about it!

(Hope this is in the right category, correct me if I'm wrong I wasn't sure)

I've heard the GIMP works really well. I'm just hoping it won't put any viruses on my computer, but so many people use it I can check it out. Thank you!

When you're close, I can't breathe, I feel sparks :heart: Say that it's gonna be okay...

It doesn't. You should be fine. And it's almost as good as Photoshop once used correctly. If you're so worried about viruses you should try the free version of Avast! or ClamAV if you're using Windows... If using Linux, I recommend KlamAV... I don't know what to tell you if you're on a Mac...

Okay that's good. I didn't think so since it seems so popular and pretty well-known. I use a Sony Windows laptop, Vista. Thanks for telling me about the other versions too. Appreciate it :)

Thanks Sarah! :hug:

Yeah unfortunately. Get used! They work just as well and will save you tons. My books for each semester cost around $300-$400. Per semester. :wow: So get used if you can!

Aww thank you! :hug: I've always admired vector art and have wanted to learn how to do it for a long time and create my own style. Hopefully I can now; I downloaded GIMP awhile ago and have been able to do some stuff.
