I'm using Photoshop 7.0, with an excellent scanner.

What tools are other people using, and what auxilliary tools should I use? As of now, I think my colored pics are improving at a nice rate, though of course they still are below average.

I'm really looking for tips on what to draw and how to color. As a newbie, I've already browsed all the commissioners and all the art tutorials, which are wonderful, but what specifically do MY pictures lack.

I'm overly self-centered and selfish for the moment, mainly due to artist block and frustration.

On a tangential note, high school is getting really annoying, as it always does during spring. Tennis season is up, as well as testing and rushing for those teachers that are behind schedule. *sigh*
Still, it maintains enough interesting happenings for me to be joyful about life in general. So many clumsy people, including myself. Ha.

To all who are Democrats: enjoy Obama's inauguration!
