i get the opposite most days. 90% of the kids in my school don't draw past stick-figures, so my finished works and my li'l doodles get the conversation:
"You drew that?"
"uhh...yah"
"that's good!"
I nod and mumble appreciatively, then go back to drawing.

yes, i'm complaining about compliments. i feel like i'm getting complacent and not learning.

I often feel the same way. I generally am very embarassed when people notice and compliment my work.

jesus christ I hate this. It used to happen all the time when I was in high school. So damn annoying when you're drawing something and they ask me if I drew it. "well...I am currently drawing it, SO YEA! I FUCKIN DREW IT!"

lol, I'm like the exact opposite of you guys

getting someone to even take notice of my stuff is tough, let alone getting a compliment.

roflcopter, I guess kids think you have to be in your late 40's and have a masters degree in art to be able to produce something more than a stick figure.

Also, hello everyone. I never knew this lounge existed, so uhh...yeah I'll be posting here some times :D

I'm sad no one is voting for me, hey Kraig maybe you should put a "most assholish artist" on there.

There's still a lot of time left. ;] I wanted to keep the cateories positive (I think I might be in the running for "assholish artist" too).

Narf109 did vote for you for "Most Improved Artist," that's something, if you ask me.

NOT :P ...you are <3'd!! I need to collect my thoughts a post my votes! ...but it's such a whirlwind of activity 'round these here parts! lol

I just wanted to add: ooOOhh! pretty side banners! I feel all warm 'n toasty!! Totally diggin' it! :D

so much is happening at the same time XD

The past couple of days, I did the greatest thing for my computer. I downgraded back to XP! I decided to give CS4 another shot, and everything works so damn smoothly now. Things were really frustrating with vista that I gave up on drawing in Photoshop and Flash for a while.

Edited for accuracy! :P

haha, i don't really have the problem with people asking me if i drew something, but that's largely because i tend to keep it to myself unless i'm showing it to another artist. I always feel awkward when confronted by a random person asking "How you do that?" or "Why you draw that crazy shit?" it's always more trouble than it's worth describing a process and i can never explain why i drew something.

Man i'm tired i'm banking on a snowday tommorow, but it's all okay i'm in a good mood because i have one vote for me in the awards, it made my day i feel loved

Anyone else going to vote on the Art Forum Awards (I'm looking at you ReNaeNae)?

I've done so already, and I still haven't received my bribe. I mean, incentive.

Dile was is an awesome artist, and it's a loss to the forum that he doesn't post here anymore. I never interacted with him on a personal level, though, unfortunately.

if it makes it any easier you can just choose me as your choice in every category.

I joined just soon after Dile and new nothing about him. Then Neolight told me of him and I am amazed by his stuff. I miss him and didn't know him :(

The very mention of his name makes me weep.

My scanners sucks so iv been thinking about getting a Wacom Graphics Tablet but im not sure how good they are, does anybody have one or have some advice about them?

From what I've heard/been told/read/learned/experienced Wacom makes the best tablet peripherals. I have a (now ancient and no longer produced in it's current form) Wacom Graphire 3 and it still works great, but have upgraded to a Wacom Penabled Tablet PC. If you like to do computer art, but don't like the feel of using a mouse for it, definately get a tablet, and if you do, I would reccomend getting a Wacom.

The Official Tablet Thread has some info. Remember; bigger isn't always better, if you can try some out before buying do that to get a feel for it, see if you like using it and try out some different sizes. Good luck!

I made this awhile ago. Funny, right?

Does anyone here know about New Media? I'm thinking of switching my Graphic Design major to NM because I enjoy just doing digital drawing. I keep hearing that it's a lot of movie making and audio though (actually it's a bunch of crap for one major, which is why it's so confusing). I just don't think I want to go into GD.

Maybe this isn't the best place to ask, but it might help me make my decision.

It probably isnt, you should probably google it and research it before you change, you dont wanna get stuck in something you hate.

I've been researching it, went to a couple of lectures about it, discussed it with some NM students, and I still don't know if I should take that major.

Lulz...

I think I have my first imitator... unless this is some kind of insane coincidence. Weird.
