Creativity has never been my strongest point, but over time I have been getting more and more into it. And just like programming I am slowly starting to believe there is not much talent required for the process of creating something yourself, just having a vivid imagination.

Yesterday I checked out the “From speedpainting to concept art” DVD by the Gnomon workshop a bit and I must say this is absolutely awesome! Although I haven’t checked all of it yet and I have sort of a handicap seeing as to how I do not have a tablet, I gave it a go and was able to achieve things in photoshop I could never have even dreamed of before. And although it didn’t look perfect or anything, it was a major achievement for myself and it definately starts to make you realise that in the end it’s not all that hard at all.

It’s like seeing Bob Ross paint, if you just see his end work it’s like “Wow! How does he do that?!”, but if you see him creating it it all becomes so much easier and some practise will allow you to do it like that as well.

Have your say

Like many others I'm a slave to modern society dominated by mass media, I can be hooked on the latest series for months without missing a single episode or simply having to see a certain movie.

And if you thought music wouldn't be included there, you're dead wrong! Practically non stop I listen to music from various artists, I just can't stand the silence anymore.
