Free Time!

Journal Entry: Thu May 17, 2012, 10:13 PM
The spring semester is finally over. Four more classes are done, and I don't have a job anymore (the school doesn't keep tutors over the summer), so I have free time until the summer semester begins in June.

Until then, I'm going to work on my hobbies a little. This includes digital art. I've wanted to try my hand at speed painting ever since I saw a tutorial weeks ago. Heck, I'd like to do more digital painting in general. I also want to keep brushing up on my web graphics skills.

Unfortunately, I've been having some trouble with my tablet pen. Somehow the pressure sensor inside it got messed up, so now it thinks I'm always clicking on stuff. If I try to navigate my desktop with the pen, it drags a box around the icons. If I try to use the brush in Photoshop, it gets lines all over the place. This has made drawing a pain in the butt.

So I've ordered a new pen. Wacom doesn't sell them on their site, but I found a replacement on Amazon. My sister is letting me borrow hers until the new one arrives. :D

I spent a few hours working on some Skyward Sword fanart. I might post it tomorrow.

I am currently a Web programming major working on an associate degree somewhere in the Midwest. I also draw and write sometimes, and I enjoy customizing my own journal skins as fun little CSS experiments.

When it comes to graphics, I tend to work in Photoshop CS5, which I grew familiar with during a college course in 2010. I love to find ways to make spiffy Web graphics and other digital art.
