Happy New year everyone.
I started off this year really bad but hope everybody else had a good start. I was sick for more than a week, and I couldn't eat anything in the beginning. I've never been sick for such a long time. I just hope this means there's one less bad thing I have to go through this year. I finally feel like I'm fully recovered, and to celebrate that, I cleaned up my room and tried to draw. My cintiq has been functioning as a simple monitor most of the time, and I'm trying to change that. the painting above is some random character I drew, and I tried using the oil brushes in corel painter for the first time. I'm very new to this software, and up until now, I thought no other softwares could top photoshop when it comes to painting, but that's about to change. I love how it makes me feel like I'm actually using the traditional medium and I don't have to worry about getting my hands dirty. even though there's a lot for me to explore with this software, I think I'm going to be using this very often from now on. It just makes painting so much easier and faster. and I hope this means that I'll be updating my blog more often. There's so many softwares I want to master. 2010 will be a very important year for me and I better well spend it.
