Hello, Fluffsters!
So, I’m a bit annoyed. I cannot find the perfect medium.
Have you tried going for a perfect small or large instead?
…What? Oh. No. Medium, not medium.
I hope that wasn’t supposed to make sense. Because it doesn’t.
Huh. I guess it doesn’t work as well when typing.
What I was trying to say is that I can’t find the perfect thing to use for my doodlings.
Oh, artistic medium!
So, you’re ranting because you can’t doodle as well as you’d like?
Yeah. You see, I doodle a lot better with pencil and paper than I do with tablet computer and photoshop. But photoshop has layers. And layers are Ah. Maze. Ing.
Layers… Like onions have layers?
Actually, sortof yes.
Photoshop layers are wonderful. Basically, they’re a way of putting stuff on top of a previously drawn / designed thing, and not losing that picture.
Think of it as paper dolls. You can create the separate clothes, and put them on top of the doll. The doll is there, but so’s the dress. Layers are like that, except it has to do with the drawing itself. And it can be a lot more fine-tuned.
I’m a lot more precise with pencil and paper.
Seriously.
I just doodled this while I was procrastinating from other writing I’m supposedly doing.
This is actually much larger than the doodle itself.
I could never get that kind of precision on Photoshop.
But with pencil and paper, when I erase something, it doesn’t show a previous layer. It shows the paper.
So, let me get this straight… You’re ranting because a doodle you were making while procrastinating wasn’t as high tech as you wanted.
That’s not phrased as a question…
Right. I’m stating a fact. That is what you’re doing, after all.
Huh. I guess it is.
Well, it’s still rantworthy!
Clearly some think so, since you just ranted about it.
Exactly.
So, happy Saturday, Fluffsters!
