Cartooning

Who knew? This took some serious time, but I do not do things lightly. Usually when I head out to do something new I take a big bite. Some say more than I can chew, but no – I learn, I do, I finish, I show. I also tend to fuss and fret or fume a long the way filling the cuss jar to the rim at times with some projects, but I still learn and love it. I got a little invite from BethanyActually to join the cartooning group at flickr that she started.

Here I have painted the picture (px by px) that is currently in my sidebar. Here’s a link to the original in my flickr (in case I take the one in my sidebar down someday). I am quite pleased with the outcome. A lot of the people uploading to the pool are doing some really great stuff. I still have to learn how to do a few things and my program is a bit limited on some of the filters. The next big thing I really want to learn how to do is design and draw from scratch.

This was a fun project. I plan to do more, but maybe not such large projects. I still have a lot to learn about PhotoShop, and I can’t wait to learn it. I only have the little program, but I so wanna get the real thing.

I also want one of these. I keep thinking how awesome it would be to have this for pattern brainstorming and designing. OH. MY. STINKIN’. HECK.* the fun and work I (think) I could do. And now with my Vista Laptop (I’m falling in love with what I can do on this machine) – I am such a techno geek. Just call me Geek Girl.

Anyone wanna pay me some money to do some photo work for you? I can do a lot of other things already. Then I can get my heart’s desires faster. Bwahahaha.

*Thanks to Heather, I’m saying this all the time now instead of other things.
