Well, I've been on TT for about a month and I don't know if my bear making skills have improved but I feel like a computer genius!! I can't believe I can actually take a picture, shrink it , write on it and post it on the computer - all in a months time. My computer skills were embarrassingly limited to shopping on line. I have actually learned quite a bit in the past month, the bear in my avatar is my first attempt at shading around the eyes, nose and ears. Thanks to the info I learned right here on TT. There are some VERY talented artists on here, so I am a little nervous about showing my work bear_cry but hopefully you'll just see improvement over time

I know what you mean about computers. I am such a baby with them. Getting just my avatar photo up was was of lifes great challenges. Still, I am learning all the time, just like you. Only trouble is you chew up so much time playing on the computer, and all these dear little bear body bits are looking at me waiting to be finished.

That's a lovely bear and a very nice photo. And isn't that digital image editing stuff just absolutely addicting?

Great work on both counts... you should feel really proud!
