@starshine
I'm out of here. Bye. If you want to chat with me, you can find me on Skype.

@thelastgherkin That's entirely fine. Pizza is definitely important. :)
-
@thelastgherkin So you draw all your stuff on paper and then what, scan it and trace over?
-
@thelastgherkin I'll refer you to my earlier comment about reams of paper. I think I used 'undo' about 100 times for each visible stroke there. :\
-
@flaxx Yes, and I don't want to discuss it.
-
@redenchilada @flaxx :C neither of you are helping me not be depressed about how much I completely suck at drawing, OR about how much I wanted to take a Flash course and can't.
-
well, this took me an hour and it's an atrocity. I don't know if it's because I need a TON of practice, or if I should just stick to other things. http://ur1.ca/4y2ww
-
@flaxx ummm... I'm not sure if you're doing that on purpose or not so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but that is a really sore spot for me.
-
@thelastgherkin You should watch this because it's turtles #mlpargument ;) (just kidding)
-
@thelastgherkin Have you ever done animation? It would be so cool to see that strip properly animated, as well as being *perfectly* voiced :D
-
@retl Gimp, yeah. But I'm more whining about the lack of tutorials on ponies than about how I suck at circles.
-
@retl I'm using a tablet. If I'd been using paper, I would have gone through about six reams by now already with the amount of use that the undo button is getting.
-
@redenchilada I have seen all sorts of "how to draw" guides in bookstores that are at the level I'm looking for. None of those, of course, have anything to do with ponies.
-
Urgh. All these pony drawing guides seem to assume some pre-existing basic level of artistic competence. Does anypony have one that's more at the level of "draw two circles, HERE IS HOW TO DRAW A CIRCLE, now draw a line between them" with pictures of every step?
-
@fnordly yeah, um... I mostly just use my computer. :P
-
Holy crap that is really neat. It keeps separate tool settings for every individual input device. So I can move layers with the mouse, draw fine strokes with the pen, and erase huge fat segments with the eraser. This actually makes the Gimp seem ... sort of usable.
-
@colfax Haha. At the moment, everything on my computer works except Java, so I am not even going to touch anything. And if that means no Minecraft, so be it. I'll go upgrade and lose my tablet once I get bored of it and remember that I'm a crappy artist.
-
@fnordly I had a horrible experience with trying to debug the driver for my old PCMCIA ethernet card back in 2000, because it had a strange bug that shot the load average through the roof after a few minutes. I eventually gave up and bought a different card that worked. Haven't tried since then. I hate hardware.
-
@fnordly no, they really are. :) Up until today, every time I tried plugging it in, either X11 would segfault, or I'd get a kernel panic. This is the first time I have actually seen it work outside of OS X.
-
... Aha. Have to actually go to preferences and tell it that a tablet is plugged in first. Weird.
-
Hmm. It doesn't seem to be picking up pen pressure. Well, it at least recognizes pen position (and doesn't die when I plug in the tablet), so that's good I guess?
-
@starshine .... OH MY CELESTIA. IT IS WORKING?! Brb, going to go spend the rest of the week playing with this.
-
It just occurred to me that I haven't tested my drawing tablet in a while, and I'm running Linux 3.0 now. Wonder if it works yet, or if it still locks everything up and causes a kernel panic. #fatchance
