Yesssss

Flawless Victory!

Come on, let's see it, LR! Also haha for making you guys look it up.

\O Fenghar.

I was going to say "I don't remember where I put it" and then I remembered that I actually drew it on a birthday card. So I don't have it. But I promise to draw something hideous and scan it later.

Schweet! I will be awaiting the beautemous drawing!

I'm drawing the Agents of Fortune album by Blue Oyster Cult in Adobe Illustrator (using my laptop touch pad, no less); here's what it looks like so far:

Here's the original:


Sigh. Easy part's over.

I drew a crapper-thing of the Skeletal Lamping album cover. I only drew a few of the people and they are fucked-up looking. I fail. I can actually draw quite well on paper, but not on the computer. Also, don't have a scanner. Also, don't have Photoshop.

If you want to draw, Adobe Illustrator is a much better program. Photoshop is for editing.

It's here if you want it.

Coo'! I still can't really draw with a mouse. I guess I could try to get better. Is this file one of those ones that is a bitch to get working? I have had Spore for like a month as just a file because I hate figuring out how you open it.

[mountainmage]

It's a .rar file. If you have winrar, you should be fine. According to the torrent uploader and comments left by some of the people, it's an easy installation.

If you have issues with drawing with a mouse, simply feed a rough pencil/pen sketch into your scanner and poof! It is on photoshop/illustrator ! Then you can add another layer and go over your lines with the mouse to train yourself to do mouse drawing. Or just get a tablet which is the most awesome item ever.

That's another thing, though. I thought I downloaded winrar, but I'm not sure. Apparently I need that for Spore, too, but I can't figure this stuff out because I am challenged. Explain this all to me!

[mountainmage]

Tablets are expensive as hell. I don't usually draw freehand with my mouse anyways, I use the pen tool, which connects your points for you and allows you to curve it to any shape you want. Or, if it's a regular ol' shape, I just use the shape tool.

If you have winrar installed, just double click the .rar file, click "extract to" and point where you want it to be extracted to. Bam, done!

[Rainbow]

Don't gotsa scanner, man. 'Sucks.
I just can't draw lines the way I want them on a computer. On paper, I can control my hand and curve things the right way, but on a computer, without a pen, I can't really do much. 'Sucks.

[mountainmage]

Did I mention there's also a line tool?

Also, I explained winrar if you didn't notice. I edited my answer in.

Thats cheatin! Every pic I have done for the lexicon so far have been done freehand mouse with a bit of help from a rough sketch, and in Photoshop no less. Only time i ever use Illustrator is for backgrounds or buildings. And yeah, tablets are 'spensive as hell but I am still gunna get me a nice 10in one for myself this Christmas.

But, that's like cheating! Also, you can't draw everything with straight lines.
