When traditional and digital collide...
Mar. 11th, 2009 06:17 pmGod, I have no patience with technical thingies apparently. If it's not pretty damn straight forward or come with a For Dummies book, I get so mad when trying to figure things out.
Take for instance the screaming fit I had trying to figure out how to upload pictures from my digital camera onto the computer. I feel kind of embarrassed admitting it, but I usually have my youngest sister help me because I'm no good at doing it myself.
I would have asked her for help today, but she was in her room sleeping and if you try to wake her up she becomes bitch-zilla. No kidding, you take your life into your own hands if you try. Figuring that if she managed to do it, I could to, I gave it a whirl... and now I have a headache from all the yelling I did and my throat hurts.
But I got the pictures uploaded... just don't ask me to repeat the process any time soon.
I kind of feel the same way about that tablet I bought. I get so angry trying to use it, that I just stopped using it altogether and use the mouse because drawing is supposed to be about relaxing, not getting wild-eyed and upset. So now I just use a good old fashioned sketchbook and pencil - and then scream myself hoarse trying to upload it. haha. Technology sucks sometimes, really.
Anyway, I want to try coloring this sketch in ArtRage. But here's a photo of the original sketch.
(And yes,
not_cynical was right, I need to get a scanner... but I don't have the money right now. Maybe after I file my taxes.)
