Drawing Experiment no. 1
I did a drawing entirely on photoshop with a mouse, as an experiment to see how well I could post pictures from home again. That’s why it’s a bit “iffy”, in my opinion. If this works, I should be happier doing my blog so that I can finally show the efforts of my drawings. We don’t have a scanner but maybe we’ll get one sometime. Then I’ll be feeling even better. It inspires me to draw more when I can post things up here.
Things have been going O.K.
Honestly, I’m still depressed..I can tell because I sleep longer and my mood is generally low, thinking about a lot of the stresses I have. So, I’m seeing the doctor at the end of the week and he’ll see how things have been. They did adjust my medications which is good. I should be getting to see a psychotherapist sometime too. I greatly miss the ease of the health care system in Australia. Not much waiting at all.
Talked to Cameron on the phone a couple of times, which is good. I miss him heaps and things are still up in the air, but it’s not so bad to have a break I guess. Maybe we both needed it. Anyway, I’m enjoying my time with my family and my nephew. This is a drawing I took from one of his photos. Please excuse the wonkiness of it, as it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to even concentrate enough to draw.

Hey mate, that’s a pretty good effort using a mouse! Take my advice and get yourself a Wacom tablet (that is if you intend to keep drawing using the computer). The Graphire 3’s look good (I started with a Graphire 2 and upgraded to an Intuos 2 ages ago) Once you use a tablet you won’t look back! Stay well and keep up the great art.

Thanks, Cam! Was going to stop by your site today..I’ll have to within the next few days..busy with family stuff at the moment.
Thanks for the advice..I’ll keep an eye out for that! Yes, in the meantime I’ve got to draw using the computer if I want to post artwork.

That’s a great drawing! We’ve got one of those tablets and they’re cool. It’s for my husband to use but I fool around with it too. At least it’s shaped like a pencil.

Thanks, Kirsten! Yes, I’ve heard of those tablets, it’s just waiting till I can afford to buy things for my artwork. Maybe I can make some money through my regular artwork soon, now that I’m able to concentrate better.

Yes, unfortunately that stuff can get pricey. :/
