Alright, it's the ultimate tool to illustrating, and even drawing with a tablet. That's cool and all, but just a couple leetle things that bug me, mostly about people that use it. It costs a buttload of money. I can do most of the stuff it has with Paint.NET, and it's free. That's fine, my choice, howeverrrrrrr...

Sharp edges won't kill you. There, I said it. Most people new or inexperienced with Photoshop will nearly crap themselves with the fact that there are tools and pens to blend. That does not mean that it should replace any skills you have or could develop by actually shading, and not sitting on your duff going, "Hurr hur, it's like that one Easy Button!". A lot of less...experienced Photoshop drawings/illustrations I see are the main culprit of this. Need shading? Just use that one, glaringly obvious and fuzzy pen/brush! No one will totally tell that you're basically coloring with blurred macaroni noodles. Please, for the sake of the dented desks you will create, by doing this, use multiple colors instead. Not that hard. tyvm

Not directed at anyone (COUGHMAPLESTORYFANARTCOUGH), just some observations. I really want to see some good artwork, not people hiding behind the program like it's some instant Awesome-ifier. Sharp lines are nice, and in fact it kills me to see people make hair out of marshmallows. And...big bug eyes and noodle limbs. People congratulate you somehow on this alone. That, or Mr. Basil's fail attempts to stop the long-fed trolls on his site have people giving them constant praise as a form of satire. Yes, a lot of the players of this game are young. That's fine. I'm still bothered by it, however. Like one of those things you can't stop, but you want to say something, but you know it'd kick you right back in the ass if you told them.

Also, colds suck. Die in a fire flu, before you ruin my job hunting streak. >:[
