Drawing in the Stone Age / Digital Awakening

Remember when artwork didnt happen on computers?

Remember when ART was just between you and paper?

Remember when you had to color with pencil crayons and markers?
cuz how the f else will it get colored

Remember when you didnt have a scanner?

Remember when finally got one?  (or access to your friend's one?)

Remember when you didnt know what Photoshop was?

Remember when you didn't know what LAYERS were?

Remember when you didn't know what MULTIPLY WAS?!?! AKUAWKAUW
oh man layer styles you wonderful sumbitches

Remember when you found out you could post art on the internet?

Remember when you had to color with a mouse cuz no one told you wacom existed?

Remember when you tried to use a tablet the first time and it looked like a 2nd grader drew it?

Remember when you finally GOT ONE and it took you months to get as good as your own damn self on paper?

Remember when you realized you didn't need Burn and Dodge anymore?

Remember when you finally understood ALL the layer styles?

Remember when you used Brightness & Contrast to clean up a sketch and it looked like bright ass garbage?

Remember when you found out what LEVELS and CURVES actually did?
levels so much win

Remember when you realized you weren't drawing on paper at all anymore?

Remember when you started drawing on paper again just to compensate?   XDDD

Remember when you gave that shit up because paper has no ctrl+z ?

Remember when you thought maybe you didnt need lineart anymore?

Remember when you noticed that was just full of shit..

Remember when you finally learned ALL the best hotkeys?  

Remember when you found out there are better painting programs than Photoshop?

Remember having to paint in photoshop again after that and getting mad at it for being fucking stupid..

Remember losing a whole painting cuz you didn't save?

Remember starting it over again?

Remember when you started all this?
It's quite a trip

I was re-drawing an old drawing that I did in 2005 and all this came flooding back
all that there is my journey into the digital age of creating artwork~~

Photoshop..
I've spent so many nights with you..
I love you and I hate you
I can`t live with you,   and I can`t live without you...

..but thanks for the dance.
I learned a lot from you...
