<Sept. 2/2009> Recent additions: Drawsattention has been creating brushes to paint clouds:  Here is
another couple of cloud brushes
to put with the one I sent
if you want to. The "clouds" one
is
a heavier one then the original that
I sent. The u
 se of the
smudge with the same brush is ideal.
The cloud
gadget is just a way to add some
very faint whisps. If you like them
you can post them for others to use.
:D -daPS: I
am on a 'making
brush' kick right now. Too much
fun!!!

 Hello
there fellow wafflers -
I am 'drawsattention'. (Drawsflies was already taken!) I live in Wisconsin (right next to the big pond) I used to draw and paint in traditional media, but I do just digital now. Lot's easier for me than cleaning up oils and brushes. <<< click to enlarge I post my drawings online at RateMyDrawings.com (RMD) here: http://www.ratemydrawings.com/user/drawsattention/
as of mid August 2009 I have over 240 drawings there. This has
been a great place to do art
for me and let me learn to do
it on the
computer a lot better.
Also, it is great because they
will let
you know exactly what they think
of your art. RMD is
a
wonderful place to do art
online and meet a fantastic
group of people
who also love art and there is
some beautiful work
there. MY
thanks goes out to the
administrator and EVERYONE
for
all your encouragement and
all you have taught me
over at
ratemydrawings. Dogwaffle and
the online art programs there
are tops!.
Art is my escape and medicine. (I am disabled and have Arnold Chiari Malformation and a broken neck.)  I have played with Dogwaffle for many years. I used to do fliers for the church I went to. Made a lot of church coloring books that they printed out years ago and had one illustration in The Concord newspaper in NH many years ago. I have
gotten a website to
sell my paintings and that is here:
http://www.drawsattention.net/
I
have tried the Artweaver,
Twistedbrush,
the GIMP,
and Pixia
Paint (wikipedia,
japanese
site) and a few others but in
my opinion Dogwaffle is the one I
find to be the best for my needs by
a
long shot and easier to work with. I
really love the setup on it, the
tools layout and all its
capabilities, and those particle
brushes. That
said, that is my personal
preference, and it sure is great to
see so
many other affordable ways for
artists to be creative. Especially
when
some of them have made innovative
attempts to communicate with
eachother, allowing for example to
share Lua-based
filters created by a few for
the benefit of many. Granted, I may
not use it all, I just appreciate
that cooperative spirit.
 ^ click to enlarge I got a Wacom
board on Ebay last
year and it is wonderful. It is the
Bamboo and I love it. Tried to use
the mouse before that and thought I
did alright the Wacom is soo much
better! I did the pictures you see
here with a mouse a long time
ago.
I do not
drive due to my neck
injury. Not paralized, but cannot
drive due to that. Still blessed
though! I could have been paralized
at one time and it was only God who
prevented it. I love doing art so
much and I have that to be my
freedom. Not many who have all their
capabilities can say they are
happier then I am when I am doing
art.
Here's a little more info on me and my experience with Dogwaffle and other tools... - Been waffling and learning computer art since about 2002 - I love art like some people love air. Nothing nicer then having a picture come to life before you. I even love my flops. - I would like
to learn some 3D
stuff but mostly I love painting.
- I am hoping
to make painting my
main profession, or at least die
trying LOL
- I use a Dell
with XP, It has 4 gb
ram and 500 gigs
harddrive.2.31ghz, 3.50 Gb ram. It
is a year old.
(That took a while to look for,
LOL)
- What is
there to not LOVE about
Dogwaffle? For one thing it is so
very wonderful and even the free
one
kicks so many other art programs
out of the ballpark. It is easy to
use
and very fun. It provides enough
gadgets and filters that you feel
you
have a thousand dollar program at
your fingertips. It lets the
artist
in you have free reign to draw to
your heart's content and bring out
the best in you.
- What needs
improvement? Well, if
you guys could get it to do the
dishes once in a while that would
be
cool. :P
- Other
programs I've used: I have
tried Pixia Paint, the free adobe
Photo Shop special edition, Gimp,
and
etc, etc, etc. Dogwaffle was the
only one where I can use just one
program and do not have to use a
bunch of them to make one picture.
- Dogwaffle is the best art program out there in my opinion. Take it from a person who has disabilites. I think that more disabled and talented artists or even interested dabblers should know about this program. It is easy to use and has been a blessing in my life. |
