Hey, everyone!


Hello, All! I am still here and taking notes from all you awesome illustrators. Also, I am still learning about illustration as well as watercolors. I sometimes get frustrated but I am still moving forward. I finally bought Photoshop CS4 (as suggested by Vanessa) but have yet to learn how to use it. I'm sure it will be fun once it's mastered.

I hope you all have a great week.

This looks like something that could go in the SCBWI bulletin...very nice. I had the adobe trial program and couldn't figure it out before the time expired. I do have a free software program that I use occasionally but it is cumbersome. I think you have good drawing skills and a desire to learn and think you will do well....

What a cute, cute illustration he he he he! I love the illustration. It's beautiful. All you have to do is keep honing your craft. Draw everyday. Anywhere and everywhere. There are all kinds of wonderful online, youtube tutorials on how to use photoshop. Please don't get frustrated, but take the time to go and watch and be taught as well as inspired. You are so talented, I don't learn Photoshop over night. It's still a learning thing for me. Keep moving forward my friend. It will all come together for sure.

I adore this watercolor. It makes me wish I could paint. Being an avid reader, these types of illustrations always catch my eye. I'll stick to photography, but dream of painting.

I also agree with pat, who said it "could go in the SCBWI bulletin..." Consider it!

Cute drawing. Nice feeling of the fantasticle.

I have one thing to say about Photoshop.
No one ever masters it.
But we have a lot of fun using it.

It's really cute and the simplicity really works. I am allergic to bees so that sting is making me nervous!
