# I know what you mean...
It's really quite relaxing.

And people who don't know that it's basically just tracing think you're actually good at something! :D

# yeah but the people who say 'oh it's just tracing' don't get that it's not exactly tracing and that there is a hint of artistic judgment involved.

# Nope.
Although what the FUCK that has to do with my pointing out people's lack of intelligence I don't know.

To be fair, I'm not in the best of moods.

# I was having a perfectly nice day
and then my client decided to be a cunt, my mate's been fucked around and my team are in a right sullen mood.

Fuck sake. MONDAYS.

# i'm with you on the first one (mine is mostly the same)
and i sympathise on the other two.

tbh, if clients weren't cunts though, it would suggest we were sucking up to them too much.

# At the moment I'm about I---I this close
to calling her, screaming down the phone, hanging up and resigning.

But I can't do that because of the mortgage. Bah.

i wasn't on that account for much longer after that... but that in itself was a blessing in disguise, and got me the role i've got now, which i love (relative to previous one)

# I have downloaded a couple of Walrus Man's piccys
And sat and coloured them in over a long and dull work evening...It was top fun and very theraputic.

# I did do vectors...
To start with... but you cant leave it at that can you?

It looked all wrong.

# Ignore me - just having a dig at all those overly serious arguments here about what is and isn't a vector ;)
I couldn't care less how it's made (unless it really is a technical marvel of thousands of nodes and curves - but that just gets my detail-cock hard) just as long as it looks great :)

made Tom O Bedlam laugh. I'll have to go look.

edit:// oh yeah "Vexel is another made up word
coined by people who finally admit they did not have a clue what a vector scalable image was but want to make it seem like what they do is something more than digitally assisted colouring book nonsense."

# Oh you and your vector pedantry :D
I did some vector work last night on Corel Draw and was getting right narked at my curves going all "curly wurly the wrong way". I think that's the technical term?
(I helped save b3ta! Dixipoos Bye Bye Blackbird, Mon 19 May 2008, 16:51, archived)
# pfft.
you have to learn to keep the pen down ( or left mouse clicked ) as you place the point then drag the handle in the general direction of the line you are following. Curly wurly means you have the wrong handle going the wrong way. It gets easy after some practice.

And again, I don't get pissy about the pictures, just the words that people use to describe them. We need to have laws or we'll end up speaking French.!

I still have essentials. I like the idea of the palette.

# Essentials came
with my Wacom but I've never took it out of the box. I suppose I should do some time just to see the difference as I plan to do a few tutorials when I think I'm capable enough and it would help to know the limitations.

Mixer palette is really good for quick colour picks.
