Just saw the video, very good!!! So you first did a sketch and scanned it onto GIMP?

samwhelan In reply to dragonwolfcat [2010-08-17 20:31:44 +0000 UTC]

yeah
I much prefer sketching in pencil
then scanning it in
partly because my tablet is tiny
can't wait to get a new one
I need commissions

samwhelan In reply to delade [2010-08-17 18:38:17 +0000 UTC]

its only practise really
I was never that good at art
but I use it as a break from schoolwork
and have really started to enjoy it
the main thing is just stay positive, experiment and do your best

if you want to ask me anything about the GIMP feel free

I had the sound muted! Sorry! I would have listened if you were talking over it, but as soon as I realised it was just music over the top I hit mute.
