Welcome to Drawblinky.com
I love the creative process and art is my passion these days. I have a broad perspective on art and I will show that to you on this website. I have designed and created the artwork that appears here.
I like to consider myself an artist or a digital artist. My medium is the computer. I am self-taught and learned techniques from reading tutorials, magazines, journals and books. I have had to learn about things that all artists need to learn, e.g., perspective and light. In addition, I have had to learn to use software and hardware to create and edit my art. It has taken me several years to learn what I needed to know. The learning continues today, as I develop new styles and techniques. And, the hardware and the software are evolving so I spend as much of my time learning about updates for these programs and peripheral devices as I do on art itself.

Tools that I use
Tools you will need to use as a digital artist include: a graphics editor; animation software; graphics tablet; scanner; and, a video editor. The graphics editor that I use is Photoshop and, Realdraw Pro. My animation software id Adobe Image Ready which is included with Photoshop. The graphics tablet I use is made by Wacom. I used to have scanners made by HP but recently, I have been impressed with and purchased an Epson scanner. The video editing software I use is Premire The Adobe software is expensive and there is a steep learning curve, But, if you have a burning desire to become a digitsl artist, Adobe software is the industry leader and they have versions for MAC and WINDOWS operating systems.
