I recently learned that IbisPaint does in fact have a PC version, which is great news for me since I was using it on a shared iPad prior to yesterday, which was really inconvient for like 4 reasons. It's kind of hard to make art when you have to stop every 20 minutes because your mom needs to check something, your younger sibling needs to text their friends, or your dad needs to look up how to stop sucking on one of the like 40 sports games he owns for some reason.

No longer will I face these injustices, I am finally free to explore my creative endeavors and also maybe learn how the fuck anatomy works. Probably not. At the very least I can draw whatever I want without having to do the blank canvas thing to hide all the blood and guts and such.

But that's enough about me, lets move on to some little doodles I did to test the program out. I only learned I could rotate the screen after I finished the second one, so hopefully it's all uphill from here.

Starting up, we've got Violet. Usually whenever I'm testing a new art program I draw her first. It's almost tradition. Seeing as she's the first character I ever made period (I couldn't even write yet, that's how long ago it was), it's kind of a miracle that I've kept her around for this long.

I keep changing my mind on whether or not her ears should be purple. You'd think after 15 years I'd have figured it out, but alas.

Next up I drew myself, because I'm a narcissist.

Well okay, not really. Quite the opposite. I just wanted to figure out how to draw myself with more exaggerated proportions. I kind of hate how the face looks on this but everything else is pretty solid. My wrist does this stupid thing sometimes where it just goes ballistic with twitches for no reason, and trying to deal with that and drawing at the same time is a nightmare. The stabilizers came in clutch though.

With those little experiments out of the way I can work on some real art now, and it'll probably suck less. No promises. Anyways, thanks for reading all of this. Until next time.
