Thank you everyone. unfortunately, i can't afford all the fancy schmancy computer programs that would take my art to the next level...and believe me, i would love nothing more but to have a chance to go to school, hone my skills and use that stuff. but as (almost) all of u artists know, sometimes ther's no money to b had unless u have an "in" or some kind of "x factor". Me? I'm just poor. All my money goes to paying rent and bills, occasionally some video games, child support and gifts for my gf and daughter. I can barley afford new pencils and art tablets...let alone stuff to color with. So, i gotta do what i can with what i got...some time
