Because I was in a pretty bad mood last night, and because liver metabolism turned out to be boring as fuck, I decided to spend a couple of hours drawing. I decided I wanted to color my drawing- and I actually want to color a lot of my drawings, but I fail at using software and using a mouse to draw is really, really hard. After being on tumblr for a bit and getting depressed over the fact that my own drawings look like shit in comparison to most of the things on there, I decided that I could maybe redeem myself if I figured out how to use one of these fancy drawing programs.
I got as far as locating the paintbrush in GIMP 2.0. After seeing the complex series of steps that went into creating an actual image, I basically went "nup, fuck this" and splashed some monotone colors. It actually looks cool though. Well, it's the coolest thing I thought I've drawn in ages.
And after I've said all that, I don't actually want to upload my drawing...
Anyway, so far I still haven't given up on my plans to buy an expensive tablet at the end of this year. If I can go back to my previous Christmas casual job or find a new one which pays at roughly the same rate, I should be able to make it. Yes, it would be cheaper if I just kept on buying sketch books because I can buy 250 sketch books that'd take me a lifetime to fill anyway, but I hate how messy it is when I'm trying to draw.
Right, gotta make money. Gonna buy a tablet. Gotta find time to draw. It will happen.
