Dabble in different things, whether you're good at them or not.
This is me dabbling in drawing:
It's a pony.This is me dabbling in photo-editing:
Oooh, gruesome.But the most recent thing I've started to "dabble" in is this:
Silhouettes.Why?
Well, it never really hurts to learn how to do other things.
This is the first one I've ever done. It actually wasn't as hard as I expected it to be.
But why do I think it's important that I learn to do silhouettes?
Because the day someone asks me to do them for the layout and I say "I can't" will be the day I'm ashamed of myself.
That should be a simple thing for a graphic artist to do. But for the longest time I had no idea how do to it.
I'm not sure of the next thing that I should learn to do.
Obviously I can't draw. It's just not in my blood.
But I can't think of what else to learn. I even learned how to do minor animations.
It's not super amazing. But it can get me by when I need it.What do you guys think I should dabble in next?

Animation is what I want to learn how to do next..I just haven't had them motivation to figure out how to do it.
I got no suggestions..sorry!
I really have no artistic bone in my body.
Good work on the silhouette! Have you tried making vectors? I used to be able to do them decently... but if I were to try right now I bet I'd be awful lol.
That's really cool to figure out these things. I just figured out today how to crop in Photoshop and I was like YAY!
Wow you're pretty talented! I can't do any of that stuff. How did you do the silhouette? Are you using some kind of program?
I got Photoshop Elements for Christmas and I haven't had time to play with it yet, but I really want too!
I love the silhouette and the animation. You are really talented! I couldn't figure how to do any of those things if I tried.
Don't give up on the drawing thing! Through time and working on it you get better!!
How did you do the silhouette? I can do one by hand...not probably of a real person, but on PSP?
That is one nifty silhouette!
Have fun dabbling.
But I love your pony drawing! Don't give it up yet!
