[N3W8I3]

ok i just started seriously sketching directly into my machine with painter and this is my first evening on this site, after seeing everything on here i had to do something ... so i whent away for 10 min and came back with my first painter creations.... :) anyone else want to post stuff go ahead i love to see other peoples stuff!



ok i just posted this but no image... how i get images to upload here?

When you post choose the button up there ^^^ that says IMG, when the box comes up put in the address of where your pic is. U first need a host. The host holds your pics for others to see. If you don't have one try fortunecity.com

There is also the great Deviantart page, a place where you dont need to use any ftp-program to post pics, and its account is huge (i dont even know if it has any limits), making possible to run your own site with journals, possibilites to comment other's pieces, everything like renders, photos, winampskins, poems, paintings, zip files and doodles, without knowing anything about html-code.

http://www.deviantart.com

Their database is huge, and the page keeps evolving, you can even list your piece to printlist, and buy it for yourself or a friend from there, but i dunno if that requires the full membership. I recommend it due the numerous great (TOTALLY FREE!) abilities, though its quite heavy-built and confusing sometimes.

cool! thanks for the input .. i do alot of sketching so its useful to know of anywhere i can post ideas and get feedback..
i may try deviantart (i have grabbed quite a few skins and a couple of litestep themes from them before) hopefully ill have some stuff for you to look at soon! :D

Don't feel bad about no one replying to your posts, man. I've been here long enough to have Art Squad Leader under my avatar and still no one replies to mine lol. Anyway, about the sketches...I like 'em. Especially the green dude with the lollipop. I'd like to see some of your finished work. :)

[Cuddly]

Excellent start on Painter! I love the energy of your brush strokes. Your use of color on the faces is really cool too! Keep 'em coming!

[N3W8I3]
