Purchased Artrage a while back and have hardly used it. I find this digital art world to be uninviting. Difficult. I started practicing with an eye reference from the stock area on DA. Perhaps it's the colors that are a hindrance. Things move along so slowly when I try to use color. Very difficult. Will have to keep trying. Perhaps something will come of it.

I've been reading a book called "Dear Theo" which is basically a collection of letters Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother during his hard years of learning to paint while barely surviving off of crumbs. He worked hard. Very hard. Wish I had that kind of drive.

I just reached 1000 pageviews.... Amazing...
