Description Okay, to start: I have never, EVER used Photoshop before in my life. I drew the sketch you see above, and thought "Right, it's about time I learn how to use this expensive piece of kit."

So learn I did, through that brilliant medium of trial and error. That's right - blood, sweat and tears went into this image. 2 HOURS OF MY LIFE. Just because I'm a stubborn arse who doesn't want to resort to cyberspace for tutorials. I figured it out on my own. And I am proud. On the verge of a mental breakdown, but proud.

There are criticisms to be made: for starters, the colour is so painfully simple it's untrue. No shadows, no tone, no nothing. My apologies. I just gave up towards the end.
Also, the quality is dodgy in places, and there are these annoying white bits dotted around, most noticeably in the hair - that's because my scanner is bust, and I had to take a photo of the sketch I drew to get it onto my PC. Ay curamba.

However, personal niggles aside, I hope this is an adequate piece of"art" by a PS n00b.

Oh, and the person? That's Rachel
She's spent the past few days having fun with paints, until she had a bit of an accident.

As she so brilliantly put it:

"White Skirt + Paint = DAMNDAMNDAMNDAMNDAMNDAMN!"

In my defense....
...okay, I don't really have a defense.

But it was very accidental.
And the skirt only cost a euro.

So it's not exactly a bit loss....
....but still. I feel stupid. ^^

Oh, God, I know.
My cello almost got filled with sand before i realised what the little twits were doing.
"GET AWAY FROM MY INSTRUMENT YOU LITTLE....(*sees teacher watching*)....children."

I used to help out in the nursery class at my primary school...I haven't gone back since they took my favourite jumper and stuck it on top of the jungle gym like a flag, causing the sleeve to rip off.

bloody children! xD

(Heh heh -- the thing with Rachel that you have to remember is that, when it comes to her cello, it's like talking about her lover. They argue, they play together, cause each other pain...and make sweet music! )

I.
Hate.
You.



Allright, biatch, you know that this means war, right?

(It's quite amusing though. And amusingly accurate.)

Hoorah. Hatred is appreciated. War more so

And this way, our creative muscles will be flexed. I'll be amused by how you retaliate.

In the mean time, I go off to dinner. And then? Well, let's just say I'll be stocking up on ammunition...

Mufufufufufufufufufufuffu.

I hate you.

No, seriously, I'm not just saying that.
I'm going to ring you up tomorrow morning, at about 2am, and leave an annoying answerphone message that is me skating around my laminate floor with floor-wipes sellotaped to my shoes.

So I'd turn your phone off. *glares*

Oh, and I'm also going to draw an annoying picture of you.
And organise Be Nice To Tom Day.

Bwahaha.
