My Bio
My name is David. Don't call me Dave tho... =P My real art spree started when I was 13 and my sister-in-law introduced me to GIMP when I was grounded. 
I played with it for a few hours and fell in love and downloaded it for myself. So I got PS7 on CD from my uncle (not even sure if it was legal...), and when I realized it was a POS, I downloaded CS4. Fell in love with it. Then DA held a contest of some sort and the prizes included a wacom intuos 4. so I dedicated myself to getting a tablet. So now that I have a tablet, I'm into digital painting, photomanipulations. I write on occasion if the fancy strikes me, and I enjoy other artisan crafts. I'd like to start making clothing for cosplays and stuff. I also garden. And grow orchids. yeah... I can name more species of orchid than you can shake a stick at. =P Not much else to say, really.

Rabatments
0 min read
So I learned about this really cool new thing (except a lot of people use it and it's probably pretty old) called a rabatment.
A rabatment is a vivisection of a field to determine the placement of objects. They're really cool!
Rabatments on Wikipedia
I've also made some Rabatment brushes, if you would like. I will link the brushes. They're in a .rar file and they're .abr files for Photoshop.
Just paint ONE grid and then use the transform tool to stretch it to the corners of your paper. This will lay out a simple rabatment!

One thing I love about the internet is that everyone is accessible. Just a few minutes ago I got a reply from one of my favorite artists whom I aspire to be as good as and she is a pleasant person. I would imagine she is graceful in her popularity and doesn't treat others shamefully for their level of talent, execution, or popularity.
This sort of thing I love because no long are the best just stoic paragons of the style. They are interactive. You can learn from them. They are no longer a statue observed from the distance, rather a human being with thoughts and feelings and that makes the experience of admiration all the better. Because y

You are swiping across your tablet and you're like "Wtf? Why doesn't this work...?" And then you realize it's unplugged...

Hey wanted to say thanks so much for your comment in the forums (seems like it was an old one, but I found it today) regarding random stylus pressure changes in photoshop. I have been system restoring, -fresh installing and trying to figure it out all day - stumbled upon your old forum post, about the 'data recognition' setting... and walla it seems to be working! I can't believe it was something so simple. It makes sense cause I had changed the 'dual tracking' settings about a week or two ago and i guess i messed it up.
Just wanted to say 'life saver!' thank you very much.

Hey! I'm super glad that it worked out!
I don't remember how I stumbled across that tidbit, but it saved my life.
Cheers!

Same here!
David - I'm trying to email you but I forget your email address.
OH MAN IT'S SOREN!
I'll send it to you in a note so it's not all over the internets. That's how you get junk e-mail.
