Creative Type Stuff

I finished my print last night. There was no shading but I think I made up for that with the background. The girl looks sort of... strange though. I don't know, I just don't like it... but I do like the background. My style is just... boring. If I could re-draw it, I would, but then I'd still be unhappy with it and not to mention I don't have time since it's due today at 6:00. Anyway, they're being critiqued during class and I don't do well with critiques. I mean, I don't get all angry and stuff... but I do get somewhat sad and/or depressed if I get a bad critique, maybe with some anger mixed in, but that's pretty rare.

Anyway, I did this last night on a trial of Adobe Photoshop cs5 because my copy of cs3 was accidentally stepped on and broken. I've been spending the past few hours looking for free or cheap alternatives because I can't dish out over 600 dollars for it. I've also been looking at an Illustrator alternative. The Illustrator cs5 trial that I downloaded was too laggy on my computer so I immediately removed that. I'm thinking about using Inkscape... but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it.

After doing this assignment, It's sort of taken me out of my block and I want to keep drawing and coloring. But, I can't do that until I at least find some image editing software that is NOT MS Paint. I also want to try out vector graphics.

Here's last night's image so y'all can make fun of it.
