my birthday.... -.- wooh!

a few side questions...
whats the best photoshop? CS3? or is it opinion... which one uses the least RAM? or runs as smoothly as possible... i have CS5 and the preformance preference function seems to do a little... running on windows7...
wacom inutous3

Ah~ Your gesture drawings are looking goood~ ; u ; And I'm loving that first picture in post #3, the shading is amazing~

Also Happy belated Birthday ; u ;

[Cyberman]

well your on the right track with the gesture drawings, it looks like your just
wanting to get on the right track and to that extent I would suggest just keeping
your work to just value and line work, learn lighting, tonal layout and composition,
and just get good at drawing in general, ateliers will make you just draw in value for the first two years....then comes color. as for the cintiq I hear it is great, however I hear some people have an easier time with the intuos, honestly
I like the bamboo it is "light" I prop it on my knee. doesn't handle much different
than and intuos either, in fact if you look at the first sketch in my sketch book of batman that was done with a "mouse," sooo...really it comes down to skill. that you can't buy.

Cheers and keep it up!

[ladyknowles]

Good sketchbook you have going here.
I'd suggest studying some Loomis and Bridgeman there are some free PDF book you can find on the net. Try and just think of everything as simple shapes. Hope that helps
keep it up

The alien looking creature is awesome, man. The colors are great! Also, i really like the mannequin sketches. It looks like you're really capturing the form. I suggest some shading for you can really give yourself a lesson in capturing the form. Keep it up.
