I like trees. Lets put a happy little bush right over here.

The zen pictue came out better than I had thought. See the sort of aura thing. That is a garage light in the ceiling. I didn't even realize it was in the shot, much less in a great position.

Reed, you're silly. But it has been helpful in various unanswered questions. But I must ask, is PhotoShop like Fireworks?

reed682 In reply to BobHonors [2006-02-21 13:23:44 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but better. Fireworks is mainly designed for web graphics. It has vector tools and a few photo adjusting tools, but nothing like Photoshop. I use Firefox for making web graphics or graphics to use in Flash (because they get along best).

Ooooooooh....I get it. What about FreeHand? Is that like PhotoShop?

reed682 In reply to BobHonors [2006-02-21 15:55:37 +0000 UTC]

Free hand is sort of Macromedia's version of Illustrator, but it isn't as good and they aren't really updating it.

Ooooooooohhhh.....what about DreamWeaver? I don't even know what that program does.

reed682 In reply to BobHonors [2006-02-21 21:06:53 +0000 UTC]

Dreamweaver is an HTML editor.

Mar!!!! It's too dump complex...Is there an equivalent of PhotoShop that's not an Adobe product?

Um, not really. Nothing is a good or as powerful.

You can get the education version of the entire suite for like $500 [link] hotoshop&x=0&y=0 that is stilll a lot of money, but a lot less than the regular version.

Favourite part of the tut? The cycle of drawing, no doubt. "Find Zen..."

Truthfully, I found the 'frankenstien' technique really interesting. I've never thought of doing it that way, and I'm totally intrigued now. ^^

reed682 In reply to reggie-san [2006-02-21 02:37:10 +0000 UTC]

I was pleased with the photos. The zen was a happy accident. The light right behind my head is a ceiling light that I didn't plan for, but it gave me a glowing feel. :d Happy accident.

I am glad I was able to get you thinking. Try using the technique. It'll be more useful and make more sense once I do the second tutorial.

............... *keeps rolling about on the floor laughing until rolling off the edge of the world, still laughing, and laughs all the way into eternity, all the while thinking, "Hey, cool, maybe I can draw better now" *

I feel so informed.

Okay, things that Reed could be when he, well, "grows up" , in no particular order .......

1. Voice actor
2. Professional cartoon artist
3. Successful children's book author/illustrator
4. Author of "Sketching for Dummies"
5. Evil genius mastermind
6. Teacher

My favorite part: The Cycle. OMG YOU'RE SO HILARIOUS!!!! One of the greatest people I know!!! *death by laughter again* Dang, and I just got back from that....... *decides to haunt Reed's sketchpad.... somehow*

Okay, all done being crazy. For now. AWESOME JOB!!!

Thank you. The cycle is my favorite part too, it was a last minute idea that turned out rather well.

I love the artist cycle...how true that is.

You have no idea ho timely this is...right when my best friend told me I needed to shut up about how much I suck at Photoshop and how I need to sit down and read some tutorials...

You may save my characters from an eternity of sucky coloring-jobs yet!

Ha ha ha! Thanks? I guess.

I was pleased with those pictures. I had to set the camera on a shelf and use the timer to take them. I love my new digital carera. *hugs camera*

UrbanWarrior23 In reply to reed682 [2006-02-24 14:45:10 +0000 UTC]

Okie yeah... sorry... i was kind of hyper that day

LOL! oh my yes the 'timer'... I have a digital too (well i stole it from Ma) but it isn't that great, i know of better ones. But they are cool. And yes you should be pleased with those because they are very amusing and not crappy.

Yes yes hug your camera now before you get pissed at it. But maybe you'll have a more loving relationship with your camera than my stolen one ^_^
