Description I'm playing with Corel Paint again after a year or so of not using it. I used an old sketch and painted over it. It was fun

Charlie and Clyde

That's adorable! Is that a quail? So how are you finding using it after a long time?
I like the action in this, and you added to that with the blurred motion in the background

Thanks! And yes, he's a California quail
I actually really enjoy it, I like having a new challenge with neat looking results. Its nice to do something different, I really enjoy it. I'll definitely do more

He's adorable with that feather
That's great then, the worst thing that could happen was you get annoyed with something new and never try it again

Hahaha I used to be that way but now I just challenges Part of the reason I took up unicycling But the painting is fun I'm still learning to use the program as I go. Lots of: "Oooh what does this button do?"

Wow you can unicycle? How long did it take to learn, and is it more fun that a bike? (what a question!)
I'm still learning how to use it but I'm not that adventurous in pressing random buttons

Haha a few days to get my balance and not strangle my friends neck since I was holding onto him. He's a really good unicyclist, he jumps up things and goes mountain-unicycling and jumping I can just go forward haha but I'm learning to turn. Its loads of fun but you can't coast like a bike so I get tired out really fast from all the pedaling.

Damned show off so basically you're alright unless something gets in your way and you need to do a sudden turn *laughs* I imagine you have to keep peddling to keep your balance, I don't like the idea of not having anything to hold onto either...

haha or if I go into grass then I just fall over, but since I'm only like... 3 in off the ground I can just stand up

Its really not that hard once you start going

Sleyf In reply to Ski-Machine [2012-01-14 10:52:10 +0000 UTC]

Hahah yeah but to be fair, riding a regular bike in grass is difficult so a unicycle is probably twice as hard as it has one less wheel.

I guess the momentum keeps you going your next goal should be learning how to juggle while on the unicycle, that'd be a real challenge

haha Juggling's hard! I tried to learn over thanksgiving break and the juggle balls went everywhere

I managed to juggle two bean bag thingies...but it was more like "throwing them about wildly and attempting to catch them" rather than real juggling
