Digital Art is Exciting Again
When I first embarked into the digital art world about seven years ago, I had no idea how amazing it was going to be. I got my first digital camera and I was ecstatic that I didn't have to buy film and take it to the photo lab anymore. And now all the excitement is back again with the arrival of my new Bamboo pen tablet. I felt like a five-year-old on Christmas Day as I opened the box and unwrapped this little tool. It's the little things that make me happy :)
With this pen tablet I can create freehand digital drawings and hand-write notes which can be turned into text documents in Word (although I still prefer to type...much faster). There's a great deal of other stuff I can do with this pen tablet that I haven't explored yet. However, the main reason I bought it was to draw freehand in Photoshop. I bought the small version, but I know pretty soon I'll want to go "pro" and get a bigger one.
So I unleashed the creative juices today and created a couple pieces which I turned into Mother's Day greeting cards. They're available at my CafePress shop. Stay tuned for more!
Well, now it's back to the "drawing board" for more practice so I can start creating art like this "Cherry Blossoms" piece by Esther Kirby...
