Art and gloves
[001] Didn't expect any qs on formspring but was happily surprised :D
[002] I adore the movement in this particular commission done by samurai-pet on DevART. I've always had a thing for knights/swords et all but there's something about the character that has me staring at the picture for ages. It's one of those pics I wish had a story (preferably slashy haha) about it *sigh*
[003] Will be trying out Paint Tool SAI and Flash for inking images (lineart). The latter is 'cause of this tutorial I stumbled onto. Hopefully one of them will work out well...
[004] On the issue of tuts, there are some spots worth checking out: the photoshop tutorial group on DA and the tutorials section - always mean to look at them in more detail but never get around to it.
[005] Artists on the flist: how do you usually figure out poses? I like the stock!photos with poses on DA, but I was wondering if there are other sites that are generally regarded as the go-to places for figure drawing.
[006] If you adore Duo Maxwell,
maxdasuki is one of those artists worth friending 'cause the art and close ups are just, wooooow.
[007] I 've got basic gouache, watercolor, acryllic and oil paints which I plan to try out at the end of March - was wondering if people have any tips for newbiews? Am looking at tuts for future reference at the moment :)
[008] Watched Eureka again and JO IS SO AWESOME, OMG
[009] Got my gloves this past week fromdarchildre and they are PERFECT \o/
[010] Ten days of hell and then a break for all the things I want/need to do but haven't had the time for. Wish I could fast forward to the 19th so I could get some sleep already ;_;

I wish Spring Break was here already. It's looks like I'm going to be pulling a 2nd all-nighter this week due to a project in Design 2. x_X
It's ridiculous when you go to the class and it turns out nobody got more than maybe 3 hours sleep the previous night, if that D:
What keyboard shortcuts do you tend to use in it? In photoshop I've set my tablet with easy access to the following: undo/state backwards, pan, color picker, zoom and colorpicker and brush menu. Not sure what shortcuts would be most important for lineart work in SAI though...
I almost never use my tablet when inking with SAI. You actually get better control and smoother curves using a mouse!
Find an art-supply store that sells for students and look there first before you look at expensive chain stores - you'll have much better luck and prices there!
