i wanted to clarify that i learned photoshop the way i wanted to learn it for my uses... and i am sure i'm not using it as it was really intended... i have arguments with pho-geniuses all the time about what photoshop "really" is..

Hello Tom. I guess toad is me,does'nt matter what I'm called as long as I'm called Very Happy

. So what area in your professional opinion is the best direction? Annimation, aprenticeship,graphics?

I want my audience to feel the caracter, that's wht I print the words by hand, I want to create an emotional bond,being a collector of hundreds of comics and satirical magazines, it's the beauty of the skill of hand that was the draw and the one constant is hand printing.

I apreciate your honesty, If I could make a little money, that would be all frosting and gravy. Toad.. Ron Leon..DaD O Matic.

Hey Tom! I think it's cool that you've learned to use photoshop so it works for you - to hell with the "experts". They probably couldn't do what YOU do.

For my uses, I don't think I'll dig around too much into channels. I have absolutely no interest in the pre-press stuff - tried to get interested in college, but I can feel my mind glaze over, and then I go draw a cartoon. Very Happy

It sure is fun to see how other people do their work, though!

it may well be that the best step a cartoonist can take is to look towards the gallery... original hand drawn art is more intrinsic.. framed drawings. maybe i'll go that way myself.
you know kathy... there's a lot to be said of working wiith boards, pens and watercolors. you don't even need electricity. nothing wrong with that.....
