Digital Art

My first feeble attempt at drawing in Photoshop with my Wacom-board. Correction: My first feeble attempt at drawing in Photoshop and not giving up after 5 minutes due to boredom.

There are some really amazing digital artists out there like Alexia Sinclair and Linda Bergkvist, and it seems to me the art of the next century is going to be dominated by digitally made art. So of course my curiosity has been triggered, leading me into Photoshop to see what all the fuss is about. Hence the drawing seen above - just me messing around with shapes and colours trying to create a face which is nothing in the league of what Linda Bergkvist can procure, but still a pretty good face for a Photoshop fresher I think.

However, I think I shall be sticking to my paint and canvas. I love looking at digital art, but I don't enjoy creating it. I don't know why - maybe I don't feel as connected with what I am doing when I am looking at a screen rather than feeling the canvas and paint brush in my hand. For some reason I feel as if the computer is drawing, not me.

Oh, and Harry says hi. Drew him like...3 years ago probably, but he is still alive and kicking and wants to be published:

Thank you!!:D ^_^ I've always been crazy about drawing hehe. Considered doing fine arts for several years...but well, in the end I decided it was too risky in the sense of career prospects...:) Decided therefore to do art history, which I am also passionate about + it will give me something secure to fall back on...just in case!
