This is what I've got so far....just the sketch... share it on ur myspace, k?  This is really just a rough draft and I'd rather it wait til it's done

Thanks

The only reason why there are dark lines is because this is line art to be coloured in - I'm going to be changing the opacity on that layer when I go to colour it That's why some lines need to be dark, so that I can see what I'm doing LOL

Ahhhh gotcha! you're gunna be using that new-fangled computer drawring stuff!

Unfortunately all I know how to use is a wooden pencil

and sometimes paint...

I SHOULD PAINT GEDDY! *has a vision*

yup yup - this will actually be my first digital drawing project I'm excited to do it, but nervous as all hell that I'll fugger it up I'm totally just used to drawing with my pencils too.

I would LOVE to see a painting of Ged! What medium do you use? Oil, acrylic or watercolour?

I've tried oils, but... It's...difficult.

I used tempra, acrylic, watercolor, and guache! (I'm an art student! )

Mostly acrylic and watercolor... I might bring the guaches back out though but I'm not sure they would be appropriate... I would also have to buy a new canvas... I don't want to stretch my own, I'm lazy.

Probably will use acrylic because I'm most comfortable with it but I think I will also work on a watercolor as well.

Oh busy busy! *excited!*

Oh and -- digital drawing is muy difficult... I have a tablet but its kind of sitting on my desk...collecting dust after my first attempts were... I don't even know.

But I don't have photoshop or any good programs like that to work with so I think it might have been that.

honestly the Adobe programs are great - PM me and I'll let you know some interesting info about them

I love paining with acrylics - first off, they dry SO much faster than oils...second, you can mix water with them to get a watercolour effect They are SO easy to work with....I miss painting...I need to get into it again!!!

Acrylics are lovely... they are just so versatile... I've used them on canvas, watercolor paper, board... they just transfer to anything and they can be as thick or as thin as you want them to be! Fast drying time is a plus too.

And I lied... I did do some digital art I liked...on MS paint lol...with a mouse of all things.

I should try Geddy Lee in MS paint!

Good luck with that, eh? I guess if you used a tablet it wouldn't be so bad - but a mouse Just TOO difficult for me...this is about as well as I've done in MS Paint with a mouse:

Last January... after I got my Wii for Christmas.

Very tedious.

No shit! I didn't know you were on dA! Me too! Most of my stuff is photography, but I do have some digi art, and one of my other drawings too

That's all us Rush fans who are on dA

Holy fuggers, that Wii looks awesome! I can't believe you did that in PAINT!

oh yeah, pea green with jealous envy over here that you own a Wii...

I SO WANT ONE!!!

Yeah I have a wonderful mother that stood in line for 3 hours to get me that Wii...

And wow...nice plates! Envious!

Deviantart is sweet, but unfortunately mine is way outdated as I kind of forgot about it until last week... >.>

I got about 1,000,000 new things I need to put on there. *sigh*

I'll take a look at your stuff for sure though.

I haven't posted much lately - been kinda uninspired, sadly. I really want a new camera - cause the one i've been using, while it's better than my old one, it's still not up to par with the newer digi's out there. I really want a DigiSLR, but I just can't afford it...

Ah, well, c'este la vie

I'm off to bed, hon - it was great talking art with you!! - have a great night

Sweet dreams! Had a blast talking with ya!
