Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there. :D

And as this year my stepdad is now on dA I can do a feature of some of his work as a tribute. :)

Happy Father's Day Rob!

He's also dabbled in flash animation, the end scene in this one makes it for me. :D

nope, I'm a lazy procrastinator. :)

you know I think teachers go to teacher training college to learn different ways of saying 'must try harder' and I got C's like you, I got a D for art and a U for history in my final exams :lmao:

It was tongue in cheek - you seem like someone who is really "driven" and full of energy.

"has the ability, if only she'd apply herself". He, he. When I married Adele and saw her old school reports, I saw such comments: up to then I thought it was just me. Still - I bet you were like her: you got A's with such comments - I got C's :)

It can be a bit of a learning curve to learn a drawing program ... a lot of luddites :) like corel painter because it takes an approach that mimics traditional materials. If you didn't get a copy, then ArtWeaver is a free program that has a similar philosophy. Personally though, I'd choose GIMP or Photoshop. IMO there isn't really anything to learning the tablet - it's like playing an electric guitar. Before you pick one up, you think it's going to be really weird to pluck a string and have the sound come from somewhere completely different, but when you actually try it, it's surprisingly natural.

ooh shhhhh!! :blush: I only plugged it in a few weeks ago, tried a pic that was completely the wrong thing and have been using it to play spider solitaire since. I'm kind of at a bit of a loss as to where to start to be honest...any ideas? You're absolutely right though, I should pull my finger out, I entered that contest with winning it as my goal and it's bad of me to not put it to use. All my old teachers were right about me " has the ability, if only she'd apply herself"

Didn't you realise that creatures like meself need to hibernate?! Well, my old job kept me quite busy.. then I decided to give it the ol' one-two and got a different job as a graphic designer at Dubai. It's been a coupla months since I switched countries. Thought I'd pop in and say hi to y'all :)

:giggle: dA might have dropped me from your watch list (glitchy thing that it can be), because I think I was on your list before (so hard to be certain anymore, though). I've had that happen with a couple different people, and it also makes me worry that I might have lost someone I liked seeing. None that I've noticed yet, though....
Still, thank you for your continued interest in my art. I see that you are still on my list, so we're all good. ;)
*RTyson:iconRTyson: Jun 21, 2008, 2:05:55 PM
ah that was an oversight on my part....It wasn't until I realised I hadn't already seen your piece at the pencil club the other day that I discovered you weren't already on it. :D
