So lately – because of my schedule which consists mostly of sleeping, web surfing, eating then sleeping again – I found myself trying new stuff.

I have been introduced to Adobe Photoshop just last semester when I joined a small web developing team for our school. I joined without really knowing what I could do for the team. I had a lot of ideas for articles to post but I just wasn’t sure if I was up to that kind of thing, then I thought maybe I could try out as a graphics artist – problem was, I could hardly even draw a cartoon dog. As it turned out, I was made both graphics artist and article writer because there were only nine of us.

In three months I was able to submit – I think – five articles and twenty drawings. I was asked to make anime copies of the teachers in the Computer Science Department, the drawings turned out well with a little help from my highschool friend. But that was all they were, scanned plain black and white sketches. Then one of the advisers of the team showed me how I could use Photoshop.

He showed me some of the basics – brush, blur, smudge, burn, dodge and sponge. With a little reading from the thousands of tutorials on the internet, now I find myself addicted to making CGs – though I’m still not sure if that’s what it’s called. Anyway, I know I still have A LOT to learn, but with barely four months of experience on Photoshop, I am pretty satisfied with my drawings. I have heard once from my teacher about a graphics tablet, having seen artworks made with it on deviantart, I just can’t help but wish for one. But I don’t know, I don’t really think that my drawings are qualified already for me to want a graphics tablet this early.

Here are some of the drawings I made last night:
