I have never used photoshop in the 8 years I have been making art, I found it difficult to use the one time and have stayed away since

I am scared to try new things when it comes to adding text to my pieces.

^ Interesting. I tried PSP for a while but I hated how it was set out.

That's interesting Kirsty as it's usually the other way around. If it counts for anything, your graphics are beautiful, and you obviously know your way around your graphics program. As for text, there's nothing to be scare of, you can always experiment and if you don't like it, delete the layer.

Any others?

It was the other way around for me, but with PSP. I had like two left hands when I used that program

It shouldn't matter really, whichever program you feel most comfortable using, then go for it.

I tried using GIMP so I don't have any Windows programs on my Linux. But the lack of adjustment layers was the dealbreaker for me.

I used to make batches of graphics and post them, and it is somehow lost its appeal for me. Now I'm only making icons for myself and its given me more enjoyment.

I used to make stuff and delete them instantly because I thought everything I made just sucked.

Theresa: I think I've noticed that as you haven't posted a lot of graphics like you use to.
Mel: Aw. They don't suck.

I like making banners more than icons.

• I have to control myself from overdoing it on the colors and textures even when I do a request where a person wants something simple and minimally altered.

Yeah...it used be to like 100 icons and graphics but I didn't enjoy it anymore...and I felt it was pointless so I'm sticking to just making graphics I really want to.

Same here. I make really few graphics now than before, especially now that I started on writing fanfiction.

I prefer making animations because I feel I have no creativity when it comes to normal fan arts.
