Testing a New App

I downloaded a new app for my Mac the other day and finally tried it out.  I love the expressive line quality you get with this program, it has a simplified, design-y look.  However, its hard to control the brushes and there isn't nearly as must variety and customization that you get in either Photoshop or Corel Painter.  But I am still excited to see what kind of illustrations/designs I can produce with it.  So I present the first attempt at using Livebrush (with some new Photoshop brushes as well):

The downside to my week so far:  Photoshop has been crashing A LOT on my Mac lately.  I'm not sure why this is.  I'll probably have to connect with some computer experts and figure out what is causing it.  Hopefully it is a easy fix.  

Playing around with video making

Finally got around to downloading Screenium on my Mac.  So now I can explore making videos of my digital painting (I think its cool to watch.. they make it look so easy).  This is my first try at it so be gentle!
