@MoodyB: I'm lucky I have my laptop from school, it's only a year old and amazing so I just have to get the drawing tablet. I'm hoping it goes well honestly because if so I'll be more willing to spend a higher amount of money on an even better one lol but hey it's a start! Pick it up tomorrow and I'm so excited but also trying not to get out of hand cause I know iysgoing to be a curve ball figuring it out and adjusting lol I don't want to be disappointed haha

I wish I had the time to build a PC, I've seen some Stellar ones from friends of mine and I love how personalized they are.

@Valefor: yeah I am old.school! But you can see in my lines of the art I do that they are choppy and less clean. I don't mind, but I would really prefer smoother lines.

Hahaha! Yes a mouse, and actually if we are getting technical here it's a mouse pad, cause I use my laptop now. Before my laptop it was a mouse, now I use the mouse pad which I found much harder on my fingers xD I just won a new drawing tablet on lur local auction so I'll see how it goes now once I get used to it lol

@Valefor: yeah thats true, honestly it's sad cause they were so much fun to get to know people from all over the world, all different walks of life. I think the younger generations could use that these days lol

@MoodyB: I ended up winning on at the auction. It was a Wacom one digital drawing tablet with screen. I was hoping to win the other one but in all honesty I'm glad I didn't. I'd rather spend a little right now and see if it's something I actually like and want to use and then slurge more later. But I'm excited so I'll have to play around with it soon and see how it goes haha

@MoodyB: that's true, but it's still nice to be able to show before and after. I'll have to remember to save one of my first ones once I get the tablet and then later on once I've mastered the tablet lol

How's your week going? Mine has been brutal.. I was in emerg last night in so much pain, apparently when I was at physio trying to get my back better I ended up hurting my inner thighs..go figure.. so now I have a straied muscle in both my thighs and my God does it hurt

@MoodyB: I wish I kept my older stuff, I never thought about maybe wanting to see or do.comparisons later on in life, to see the improvement lol I love all the videos though, it's crazy lol before and afters, they are my favorite

@Valefor: well, all we can do is really post on here as often as we can, other than that, I wish we had a way to draw in new people. I find avatar sites like here and Gaia have become less popular with the younger generations lol


@MoodyB: I'm a huge procrastinator when it comes to things..I really have to work on that. I did grocery shopping too, had to take my cat to the vet to get his paws looked at and then physio to help my back. It feels like I'm making progress but then days like this he gets me to do things and I struggle, like I lifted 20lbs and after 7 reps I had huge cramps in my upper thighs..deffinatly over did it.. ugh..

Yeah thats true. I guess for now it makes sense to just focus on getting one and then worry about the function and how bad I suck at it later haha xD

@Valefor: honestly I'm still trying to figure out what one will work best for what I want it for lol. Just casual sketches, so I can do my voodoo doll art a little faster and cleaner lines, but I'm still researching to see what the best options are for me. I need something, my lines are so rough using a mouse and it's painstakingly slow going centimeter by centimeter to create curves lines and edges lol

@Valefor: yeah unfortunetly I think a lot of the older users stopped coming on for a long while, myself included. It's sad cause I miss how active this place used to be! We need to find a way to bring back users lol or steal the active ones left on other sites xD

@MoodyB: me too, then I can start practicing and getting used to it. Lord knows how Ling it will likely take before I know what I'm doing with it haha

So how is your week going? Any plans for this weekend?

@MoodyB: yeah the auction has a few, so I'll watch this Sunday when they end to see what they go for, if it's decent I'll bid and see I'd I can score one cheaper lol

@Justice: yeah?! I look forward to seeing it, now im excited! Haha

I really should do another voodoo doll soon!

@Valefor: yes, I need something so I can do my art faster and not so inconvenient lol

@Valefor: yeah I get that! I try to remember to come on for the daily bonus so it gives me a reason to remember to come check if I have anything to respond too haha

@Justice: I look forward to seeing more of your artwork! 🥰

@MoodyB: yeah I'm watching my local auction for some, they had one last week and I missed it so lol hopefully again this week they will have one. It's always different though lol would be great if it's on there cause it would save me so much money

@Justice: so cute! I think you did a fantastic job! Loving the colors and the fact he is pink! Lol

@MoodyB: so much to know before buying haha. It really is alot of important information. I was going to just buy one online but I'm thinking maybe my best option is to go to a store and talk to someone and let them explain things to me before I buy, especially since they probably know more about the products than I do! Haha I'll just explain what I'm looking for xD

@MoodyB: I've noticed that on my own laptop. I do photos for family and I edit them to be so beautiful and then I look on a different device and I have to take a second look! It's so obnoxious, takes twice as long to do anything lol

Hmm, okay ill have to keep an eye out then, I need something that will give me smoother lines and better details. Even if it means starting over and my drawings being a bit crappy haha
