I can't remember the last time, I just sat on the computer and randomly surfed the internet. We only have one computer and someone's always on it. Between job searches and keeping up with email it's a hot commodity in the household.
Tonight once I finished up all of my homework, (jobs, email, moms club), I found some extra time to look over Photoshop Tutorials. I started looking at tutorials, because my Mom got me interested in Corel Painter X, which has an extensive collection of painting tools. As I watched the Corel Tutorials, I couldn't help thinking that certainly it could be done in Photoshop. So I started Googling like crazy trying to find someone that was creating, painterly photos in Photoshop and doing it well. There are very few.
It's sites like this one though, that make me yearn for the days when I could stay up half the night reading Photoshop tutorials, because, hell, I only had to WORK the next day. I've always wanted to really experiment with painterly effects in Photoshop, but lacked the images. I always felt like I had to take them myself in order for them to be decent. But now thanks to the recent emergence of super cheap stock photo companies, I can play and play and play... without having to wait until I have a decent camera.
I don't have much time to play right now because as I said, the computer is always in use for job searches and the like... but as soon as I do, this computer is gonna be smokin'. (Maybe even literally since it's about 5 years old now)
