What's up guys! I thought I should leave some initial disclaimers about my blog before I really begin. This blog will be updated daily. I will try my best not to miss a day even though I am a high school science teacher (physics, chemistry, biology, and physical science). By the way....Q: How many physical chemists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one, but he'll change it three times, plot a straight line through the data, and then extrapolate to zero concentration.
Wait! Don't shoot! That was not my joke! lol!
I believe in the power of consistency when reaching a goal. I also believe in substance and will therefore try everything in my power to have interesting topics for you to discuss. I am not overly sensitive, so I do appreciate jokes and humorous comments about my cartoon art. All I ask is for some honest feedback about how I can improve or how I have gotten better. This will help me solidify what works and toss out what does not work.
- Does anyone have a recommendation for a list of COST EFFICIENT beginner art materials?
I'm honestly thinking that a graphics tablet and external hard drive would be the most cost effective.
ReplyDeleteYou could draw tons of images at any resolution and size and save them all in one place, for a one time cost.
If you don't have the money for a commercial image creation/editing program, there is a free image ceation/editing program called Gimp that can be easily found on the internet.
I saw a couple of clips on Youtube where people were using the tablets and it seemed pretty efficient. I would love to use one of those! I'll also check on Gimp because I'm not familiar with that program yet. One time purchases are always a good thing. Thanks a lot, Afrikan God.
ReplyDeleteOk I just finished reading about GIMP (wiki.com), the image creation and editing tool. That's a mouthful! lol! I did not know that it was originally a semester long project two guys from UCA-Berkley developed! Talk about A+! lol!
ReplyDeleteI am not a techy, so all that computer lingo flew right over my head. But my cartoon-crazy brain was able to understand that GIMP can be used for resizing, cropping, and editing photos and creating original images (which is my focus). Good suggestion Afrikan God!
If I'm going to be old fashioned and use pencil and paper, what drawing materials do you guys suggest I start with? (i.e. types of pencils, erasers, tablets, etc.)
