Arts

I've spent pretty much all day trying to understand how to draw in Photoshop. Here, have some digital arts:

These are great. How do you like the software? Tell Edward mine would be a tea pitcher.

Hey Laurie, if you're wanting to learn more about digital drawing, I'd highly suggest trying Illustrator. It's a vector-based program, meaning you can expand your artwork to any size you want and it will never look all fuzzy (like a photo does when you make it too large). Photoshop is pixel-based, meaning your drawings won't be able to expand any larger than the size at which you first created them. Just a tip!

I only recommend this so early on in your digital adventures because while I've been working in Photoshop for years, I just began using Illustrator a few months ago and the switch was pretty tough. It was like trying to learn a whole new language, so I wish I'd gotten into it earlier!

Wow, I'm stunned. I think the top one is on par with any other digital drawings I've seen and loved. You are going to be a bad-ass digi-illustrator in no time!
