Wow, this struck a nerve, but I am calm now. Some of you already know me and know that Poser came into my life in 9/05. "Point and Click???" Yes, that is what a lot of people think. Oh, no, no, no.....it is a LOT of hard work. I have dreamt of being an artist since I can remember. There used to be an ad in the back of my teen mags where you could send in your drawing of a pic they were showing and you could get to go to art school. I drew that profile until I was blue in the face. I thought I had perfected it....but I guess not. My mom is an acrylic artist and my son used to draw in different mediums. I wanted so much to do that. I couldn't even get the One-Stroke art right. Poser is the answer to a lot of prayers. I have the imagination and no talent. But, I did get a gift...understanding computers, programs, etc. Well, on a scale of 1 to 1 million of Poser knowledge, I am still in the negatives, but I cannot tell you how happy I am, and thankful, for what I do know. That's how easy it is!!! NOT!!!!!!!!!! Digital artists have many of the same things to learn as manual artists...shadowing, lighting, proper placement...the list is long... My scrapbooking group thinks I am taking pictures of things and tubing them. I might take days to do one thing...I have NOTHING against tubers...it is very hard...but it is usually of copyrighted art and that is something I am totally against!!!!!!!!!! Just one more thing....I am very thankful to all of the free products, the very generous artists, the reasonably priced products, and, oh my goodness....THE TUTORIALS!!!!
