Everybody's First Doodle

[Taron]

Oh, and you may want to rename yourself, hehehe!

Wow great painting ! And the light on the eyes is superb

Ok so strictly speaking this is not my first 'smear around with Verve' first doodle, but this IS my first 'sit down and try to make something' first doodle.

Totally counts! ...man, there are a whole bunch of great choices in it, very inspiring! Your color choices are fascinating to me... I think they're awesome, but it also triggers a totally unusual thought for me!? ...I'm baffled! It feels as though the forms- or size of the forms- fight their colors... as if the racing pod really wants to fill much more of the image and begs for a part of it to be thrown off, just so that its colors eat a bit more into the amazingly subtle colors of the environment. No matter what, it's an awesome first "serious doodle"! Fantastico!

Ah yes the Old Pod racer!

Yes! The last two paintings are really something special! Such a wonderful dog and speed racer! Very good work!

Yaaay! Thanks for commenting on my silly doodle. I've got no idea why I went with a pod racer vehicle thingy, not my usual go-to fare. I'm finding my limitations quickly in verve. I've become so accustomed to 'doodling with paint' in the digital world, that I forget to think like an oil or acrylic painter and lay out a drawing on a layer before jumping in. My usual digital flow includes grabbing an object scaling and rotating, perhaps skewing and jumping back to painting. I'm also really missing the concept of presets in verve. I have to remember what combination of dial settings does what, which is fine, but my brain is lazy and needs to get trained up a bit.

Side note: My silly brain wants you, Taron, to make a plug-in architecture for Verve (eventually). You could call it the 'variable input module' or VIM. That way we can have Vim and Verve! Haaa!

My very first doodle this program is going to be a lot of fun to use. Thanks so much for the program.

Cuty!
