I started making FanArts about ten years ago. I had Gimp,Pain Shop Pro I had Photoshop and now I work with Photoshop Elements. My first graphics were okay but you saw the transitions between the pictures in a signature or a header for a forum.
And I practised the coloring of Icons and it got better. __________________

This is quite long...
I guess for me it all started in 1996 when my family got it's first windows computer ( we had a mac, then dos one for a bit beforehand) . I think in1997 my brother got photoshop 4 and put it on the computer. He was doing art at school so it was for that. First thing I ever made was a drawing of baby spice using the pencil tool. I unfortunately learnt that day the importance of saving as the computer froze I lost my picture. Anyway 2 years later I started really using it by making covers for my school subjects with my bro. Then I tried making art like my brother for a few months and he was making desktops so I tried that using random celebrity pictures i have most of them still. Then I remember finding a msn group that was making fanart so I joined that and made banners (mostly of lindsay lohan because she had alot of nice well phoographed photos) and I thought it was hard fitting stuff in the space if a banner (as my stuff so far had been very large). Then I joined a home and away forum and pretty much made my first icon ever so I could have my own avatar. Then I just kept making icons over the years and yeah it just goes on but that's the start. __________________

I don't remember when exactly I started playing around with Photoshop, but I think it was around 2002 and I only started it because LJ had so many icon challenges and I wanted to participate. I started off with some Angel The Series icons (very bad ones
 ) but it's fun to see the evolution of them over the years __________________
