    Sent to Eien in the comments below. It takes time to learn. I downloaded Photoshop CS-3 from 'LimeWire' (Long Gone Now) in 2010 for free as pirate software. 2007 version. My introduction to digital painting was 'MS Paint', part of Windows XP. The Crazy thing is that I barely knew what I was doing with MS Paint. It took me weeks of struggles to finally finish my picture doing it all in mostly Dots. It was the only one I ever did with 'MS Paint'. I went to bed. The work exhausted me and I felt that I never want to go through that again. 90 minutes later, I woke up with an epiphany! "Maybe, I can get up and Download Photoshop'. It worked. I have been paying Monthly for modern Photoshop a long time now, but never really got into it. That's why I'm here. BTW: My 'Best Ever' Painting was the one I did in 'MS Paint'. You posted your comment a Year ago saying you were interested in getting into this. How are you doing today? If you respond, I am sure I can find a way to link that first painting to you. 'Trackpaint44' It makes an excellent Poster and I keep on on my wall. I am really, really, good at painting 'Stereographic 3D' as 3dmacphee or 3dfantasys.

    ​@@davidmacphee3549 Ah, hello Thank you for typing a long comment Getting into Photoshop wasn't my priority back then, and it still isn't. But it is something that's always there. I'm good at learning things by tinkering with them, that's how I got good at my art apps on phone and a bunch of software on PC. So I'm not worried about PS. Since last year, I've learned a bunch of more things about it even though I only opened it like 4 times. The thing is, every time I do open it I want something and I won't close it until I have made it exactly how I want. I do a lot of looking around in the software and also searching the web in order to do that. So I learn new things little by little and it grows into almost having mastered the apps. Admittedly, Photoshop looks like it's gonna take a long time. Regardless, there's no rush for me. If I ever need to learn it faster, I will. No problem. So, about that first painting of yours. I'm looking forward to seeing it! 3D paintings are interesting and have a certain cool look to them, so I'm excited. If you let me, I might even print it and install it on my own wall too. Haha. Thank you in advance ✢
