I draw, I Paint, I use to be a photographer, I do alot of other stuff besides poser. But poser for me opened up so much. When I draw I cant get it to look the way I saw it in my head, same with painting. I would get so frustrated. With poser I can. allmost to the letter. I dont have the talent to make my own things so I do buy things to create my pictures. But I use those things to bring to life my ideas. It really bugs me when people rag on people like me because we didnt make the items we use. I mean did the average painter make his brush, paint, canvas, model? No. Did you make the film you use in your camara that you bought? No. I enjoy what I do. And I think thats important. I agree 100% with this thread blackhearted has started. One day I will be an artist, I just need to hon the skills that I have. :) Thank you for posting this.
