But this is what I did so far, and boy was this a huge to figure out. I used this picture I took a few weeks back (brick wall), and then I tried, tried and tried about two hundred hours worth to get the pencil effect to work. Sweet and tears and words that I cant repeat here was used during this grueling task. And then Bingo (or so I thought) I got it working, I was so happy, excited and proud, I finally had the pencil working and I could sketch on my photo. But that pride was short lived, because I soon learned that I was using the eraser rather than a pencil and that's whats showing (can you tell I got frustrated in the end, the poor bird looks like road kill). But road kill or not, here it is. My first Bamboo and Photo shop Elements creation. And the bird is still on the nest (and not fallen down flat on the ground), so I'm happy with it.

New toys, trying something new
I'm trying out something totally new to me, and that's getting out of my comfort zone of the very bare basic computer usage. I bought my self a new computer about a month ago, and along it a Bamboo tablet and scanner. And with the Bamboo came Photo shop Elements... But no instructions (I need visual clues and how to's), so I have been trying to figure this out and how it works. So far computer is working (that's okay), the Bamboo and all that neat stuff that comes with it (that's not that good, didn't even scratched the very first top layer of all the possibilities and fun stuff). And the Scanner, that's still in the box waiting to be hooked up (yeah, I know, sad eh).
