Ugh...
Not lovin' this coloring on the computer stuff. I was trying to find a technique on the computer that I liked, but seems like maybe I'm just a traditional gal. Hmmm.I don't mind creating from scratch in Photoshop or Illustrator, but if I sketch something and try to reproduce it digitally, I hate the results. Oh, well.
Could be worse, I suppose.

I'm back
I've been away from the drawing board for a while. It's been a rough day, and I needed something to take my mind off things, so here's my latest doodle.
Shockingly, I just learned how to color with the paint bucket in Photoshop. I had been coloring in Illustrator, which was OK, but sometimes a pain. PS is so much easier... assuming all your lines are solid.
So the rough day: At least three tornadoes touched down in my old hometown. The newspaper I used to work for suffered some roof damage, but the school that was up the road wasn't as fortunate. The football field is destroyed. One of the buildings lost its roof. Even worse, some nearby mobile homes were turned over and ended up in the middle of the road. At least nine people are being treated for injuries, 200+ are seeking shelter tonight, either because of damage to their homes or due to a gas leak in the area.
My family is safe and accounted for, thank goodness. And living in Ohio, I'm no stranger to tornado warnings. But this time it hit a little too close to home. It's scary, and my anxiety is at a level 9. The people of Southeast Ohio have always been a sturdy crew, however, and I know they will find a way to pick up the pieces and move forward. I love my little hometown, and the residents will be in my thoughts.
