I got my liscence when I was 20 and my first car when I was 21. My mother just never let me learn in highschool because we couldn't afford insurance if I had gotten my liscence. Then I went to college and never had time to learn...it was a pain D: But I finally did luckily D: I was tired of asking friends for rides to places D:

Cora got her license at 18.....so 7 years now. She lives in the country....she had no choice.

It was just annoying for me because I was sent off to college without a way to get around. I would go grocery shopping with my friends when they went. and if I had to go off campus for anything school related, I had to beg them to take me. It was so annoying D:

Rawr! :B Morning everyone.

hi Vixen, how are you? ^^

Not too bad. XD Just woke up.
I'm breaking out the tablet for the first time in like a year, so I'm trying to find a free program to use with it.

you lucky you have a tablet T^T
for drawing I use my mouse -.-'

I would never have the patience for that. XD

I wish I had a tablet D: *uses my mouse*

Hey guys <3

What programs do you guys use?

hi Lavinia!
and yeah I sometimes give up on mouse XD
you've to think this: when I've to make Wallpapers with mouse... that SUCKS!! -.-'''

edit: I use GIMP 'cause I hate Photoshop

Lavi can't draw on anything xD

Wish i could though D=

Im so creative, but the talent isn't there haha.

I used to trace doodles on everything like school work though, in the borders to make it pretty <33

I just tried to download GIMP and I got all these stupid add ons instead. x-x I hope I don't get a virus.

I use Paint Tool SAI primarily. But I also use Open Cancas 1.1 (the free version) because I love how it blends colors so well. I also have a very old photoshop: PS 5.5 or something like that. It's horrible - I don't use it too often but every now and then I try to use it XD

This is my SAI work: Spades 020610 by *Maria-Minamino on deviantART
compared to my photoshop work:
They call you Lucifer's Angel by *Maria-Minamino on deviantART

I feel like it's different - I always end up drawing more muted in photoshop than in SAI. And OpenCanvas I'm more muted in color as well for some reason.

Ooh thanks, Maria. Those are really pretty too! I love the colors in the first one. :3
This gives me something to experiment with now. xD

These were the last two things I did on a tablet, I did it in Coral Painter but I can't find the CD for it anymore. xD

I prefer Sai.. I tried it on my friend's tablet...
and I did a nice sketch!!
but I need to buy a tablet XD

and well GIMP is free... and you should find the GIMP pragram without the addons..
at least I used pirate.torrent XD

Thank you <3 They're both rather old - the second is much old than the first XD I haven't CG'd anything since april of 2010 D: *probably sucks now* XDDD I apologize if the pictures for our vday thread suck XDDD

I hope your experiment goes well - I want to see it when you are done :D XD

EDIT:

OMG those are awesome vix! I love them! I'm jealosu you had corel painter - that's one program I've never tried and I really want to!!!

Yeah that's how it is for me. XD It's been over a year since I made those drawings, so I hope I'm not too rusty.

I'm going to buy a tablet at some point - the wacom bamboo tablets are good for people who do art as a hobby - they are good quality but cheap. <3 Everytime I saved up money for one though, I ended up having emergency expenses and ended up spending the money on other things D:

Wow they're great Vix!

Yeah I have a Bamboo tablet and the program came with the tablet. ^^ I loved it. XD I just need to find those silly CDs now.

Thanks guys. ^^

Well I'm off to shower, eat lunch, then go to work! Sorry guys! :( Wish I could be on more! <333

WTF!! they're great!!! OO

Take care Maria! <33
