I won't be coloring my pics till I can get a new moniter for the 'graphics computer', I think something's wrong with it.

I'm off to my Dads for three weeks so if you need me, PM me on Gaia (Neith-Kia), leave me a message on IMVU (Neithie), or email me- neithie@gmail.com

I'll still be able to come online and do art thingies But that's the best way to catch me.

Omg. New (to this house) computer that'l last me the summer, I hope, and a tablet. Tablet. Tablet. Tablet!

Okay, so money's still a problem, but we managed to get enough and borrow enough for a hot water service. And I'm sure I can learn some handywoman skills for some of the other problems. Besides, the computer was from a charity (they help people out with limited income) and the tablet was $50 AU so it's not like it was too hard on us.

Omg, tablet! It's so weird! The pressure thing is really...well, fun. o_o The mouse is good for some things but I'm getting more and more used to the pressure so I don't use the mouse much now. And coloring/shading is so much easier. The lines go where I want them! I don't have to worry (as much) about dog hair in the mouse's lazer thing where it makes the mouse do weird jolts! I still haven't figured out how to do the cleaning thing... maybe I just need to retrain my hand so that it is more steady.

Yay! Now I just need to practice, practice, practice.

Computer broke so we have a replacement till I can afford another one. (Might be a while!) And the hot water service has also broken down, it's leaking, we can't fix the tap so we have to turn the general water service off to stop it from leaking too much water.
And omg. Washing hair in cold water that's been underground all winter... it HURTS.
Plus I need to pay for next year's TWO diploma courses.

So money is a problem right now. Even though I have a computer online again, If I seem stressed, distant, ect... it's nothing anyone's done.

But hooray, I'm 22 in a week!

Borrred. Still going with tutorials, mostly just for the hell of it, and trying out different styles. Still only drawing my own characters or fanart. I suppose I could try another person's character though sometime. Did a piece for a contest. I might upload all my 'for the hell of it' piccies sometime, there's at least six so far.

As for sketching... I found that if I drew with a green pen and did as much scribbles/editing as I wanted... then traced over the finished lines with a black pen, then I could scan it and only the black would show up. That's made things a whole lot easier than a pencil! And so has getting a lazer mouse, now all I need to worry about is cleaning my dog's hair out of the lazer part.
