<div class="IPBDescription">and things</div> ok, im really getting into photoshop, and loving just spending time creating stuff. although my free trial runs out in about a week, i might be getting the program at a student rate. anyways, thats beside the point.

i see so many talented artists around, and i was just wondering how you all got started? because im thinking about doing graphic design n such. so if any of you could tell me your "getting started" story, that would be awesome. im trying to draw more, and analise art, and im getting better. so im sure tons of it is just practice. but could any of you reccoment books or websites that specialise in art? how to draw, the creative process etc?

thanks guys.

    practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice

    You can never do too much, I haven't been making anything in Photoshop for a while, but a few months back every single day I was doing nothing but drawing absolutely anything to get practice in, you develop your own style after a while. I can't really give you pointers to help you other than practice like hell

    Photoshop is the best program in the market, it's pretty heavy compared to i.e PSP,
    but it's the best, and easy to use

    Websites Id recommend you take a look at would be www.rasterized.org, www.wastedyouth.org, www.phong.com.

    As for practicing play around, think of something in your head and try to recreate it as close as possible using different techniques each time.
