Sijun Forums :: View topic - N00b (just recovered from injury) wants to learn Painter....

Nerdface · Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2003 10:55 am

Hey everyone,

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm a 15 year old dutch kid, and I got hit by car on Friday to weeks ago.
I got a broken clavicle out of it, and I promised myself to learn Painter once I could use my arm again. Well, that time has come, and I'm looking for someone to teach me.

I've found that looking at tutorials doesn't help me as much as actually talking to someone about the subject. I have some skills in coloring artwork with Photoshop, in a style that is similar to modern comics (Liquid! and Hi*Fi for example).

I'd really appreciate if someone could help me out with this.

Thanks for looking!

Hi Nerdface,

I must be way out of touch as I though everyone in Holland rode around on bicycles due to the fact that the land is very flat Rolling Eyes

I'm very relieved that you are well on the way to recovery. I think the therapeutic nature of drawing and painting is is often forgotten, and I remember that when I was in a period of depression a year or so ago, it was painting in Painter which gave me the lift needed to send those blues packing.

If you haven't alredy done so, please feel free to check out the free Painter resources on my site; Click here
I can also highly recommend Jin's Tutoralley classes and forums (url in previous post), and Jin's Pixelalley resources and links for everything Painter related; Click here

Painter can be an overwhelming application to learn, but I think the key is not to try and learn everything at once. Just concentrate on a small topic, keep practicing, then move onto the next topic.

David
