Ok... so i went and finished artist school... not drawing school but we had 17hours per week drawing.
only programs im know 2 are Photoshop....forogot all ???-_- and corel draw...this program i do use even today.

Im pretty good at making things on the paper... but when i actually wanna make something that looks 99 % similar to it on the pc... I just fail

I need a little advise with which programs i can get my photos on the computer look same as they do on the piece of paper, and yes im thinking of doing signatures for my guild.

Corel doesnt help me lot ... doing 1 signature takes ages ... Background fails at time Letters are ofc the 2nd fail... evrything else i am able to get good looking.

SO PLEASE help meh im more or less getting unknown komplexes... btw my digicam gave upits life... gonna buy a 300-400euro new one 2morrw.

I think you're going to end up having to use a program like Photoshop and have to take tutorials until you can re create your artwork on the PC.
Photoshop is outstanding with what it can do

Maybe you can buy a pen tablet and use photoshop to recreate your drawings ~ paper ON the computer.

Then you'll have to learn stuff from tutorials for the lightsource.. flow etc...

1. Get Photoshop, there are trial versions scattered on the internet. You can even try downloading Gimp, it is free and a bit simpler than PS.

2. Watch/read tutorials, then attempt them. Repeat this xxxx times. <-- (this will make you a better artist over anything else.)

3. Tablets are very nice, but not necessary. If you can afford a nice one, go for it, but I dont recommend getting a tiny one as it will just piss you off.
