Hi, I am obviously new here. Just found this site by accident. I am new to the digital art community. I have only been doing digital art a little over a year and a half. I started by drawing online at a little site called sketchfu.com which was very limited, but for me who has no computer training, and didn't even know you could draw with the computer (ya really) it was a great place to start. I had first drawn with a mouse, not an easy task. lol. I did that for almost 6 months before I even heard of a tablet. Well now, there was a great invention, lol, I have had my tablet a wacom intous 6x8 since this past Christmas, but was so intimidated by it, I didn't even use it for 2 or 3 months. Honest. But once I got used to it I was thrilled, made a huge difference in my out put and work!  Once I had my tablet  I knew it was time to move on from sketchfu.com to a few more online draw sites that were a bit more complicated.

  I now draw on 2 sites that have the oekaki-shi painter, chibi paint and lascaux drawing applets.  All of my work that you will see displayed has been done on one of the above applets.
 
  I do have photoshop cs3, but it isn't on my computer, no space left, waaaa....but I am hoping that Santa will bring me the computer of  my dreams this Christmas...I have been a good little girl....til then I will draw online. I do have a couple of  paint/photoshop like programs on my computer, but I haven't as of yet become proficient at them. All my skills are self taught, including all my computer skills.  Computer/digital art wasn't available when I was in college, ya, I am that old...ahem...

  I am also currently a member of Deviant Art under the same name, Starzshine, that is also what I go by on all the different drawing communities that I frequent. Feel free to take a look at my account at DA that is where you will find all of my work. 
 
  I am also a fractal crazy person...ya, but again totally new to the genre. I am learning more and more. I use apophysis 3d hack and 2.08 versions, I have tierazon, mbflite, and ultra fractal. The later two I had to remove in order to free up space, stinks...my computer is that full!

  Well that  about sums up me...
