Free hand horses and other critters

Thought I'd post a few drawings I did a few years ago in paintshop. Hope you enjoy.

OH wow!!!

I soooo cannot draw lol I can manage stick figures but that's about it.

[TikusMom]

Glad you like the drawings Halo. I bet you can do more than you realize!!! Do you like to doodle while you're on the phone?

[Halo]

Sometimes lol I've always got a pen in my hand. I did one of those drawings once for the art school thingies they used to have in magazines... I did really well but I sent it in and never heard anything. That's got to mean something

do you use a tablet?
those are nice ;)

i want a tablet
i cant draw for crap but i would love to try on the 'puter

Halo: I remember those drawing thingies from when I was a kid. I sent one in, and they sent some guy out (I was prolly 10). He talked to me and my mom.....Nothing ever came of that either! LOL! I think if you like to doodle, you are prolly hiding an inner artist that you only need to cultivate!

Geek: Thanks! I WISH I had a tablet, it would have been easier!!! Nope, it's just me, paint shop and the mouse. LOL!
Hubby keeps tellin me he's gonna get me a tablet, but as of yet, nada......Prolly 'cause I keep spendin all the money on the kids,and Fids, and hoof-kids, and fur-kids! ROFLOL!

They're really good! I like the white horse best I think. I find it easier to use the mouse than a tablet... I guess it'd take some getting used to.

N-I-C-E!
My turn to be impressed!

I find using a mouse sooooo jumpy at times...
It drives me crazy!
Especially if I'm working on a bigger piece!!!

Add my wish for a tablet too!
Just about everything I do is on a 8.5" x 11" sheet, so I'd need one at least that big...
and as we all know, they ain't cheap!!

Very nice, love the white horse too

Thank you so much everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed some of my drawings!

I can't tell you how many times I would have to go back, hit edit and undo something so I could go and try to get it right! I finally learned to save my work periodically so that if I wanted to edit out more than a few strokes (edit will only "undo" so many commands) and I would have to go out of the painting and come back in I wouldn't lose so much of my work.... If that makes any sense to anyone but me! LOL!

I hope to get one of those tablets someday. The medium I use most is Prismacolor pencil on illustration board, so I think that would be closer to what I'm used to and less exasperating for me than using the mouse....and you're right Jim, it isn't the smoothest thing to draw with!
