You would still have to "draw" the design using your computer. Instead of a pencil and paper, you would use the mouse (or a tablet) and the computer screen to draw what you want.fresh said:Well I can't really draw so i was wondering if there was any way to make designs on your computerusing programs, or do you initially have to fraw your design ?
Not legally unless you pay for it, no. The reason they are "really expensive" is not because of the packaging or the CDs - it's because of the many thousands of person hours that go into writing such a program.fresh said:can you download software like corel draw and adobe photo shop off the computer because they are really expensive?
Months if you have a background to begin with... probably a lot longer otherwise...monkeylantern said:Not to dampen any moods, but the time taken from "want to draw on a computer" to mastering Photoshop or Illustrator to the point of producing quality art will be many, many months.
I recommend using a graphic tablet to draw & paint on the computer no matter what program is used. If you are new to graphic tablets, "The Photoshop and Painter Artist Tablet Book" by Cher Threinen-Pendarvis is a pretty good book IMO - I read it even though I've used a tablet for a long time & I found lots of very helpful information.monkeylantern said:Not to dampen any moods, but the time taken from "want to draw on a computer" to mastering Photoshop or Illustrator to the point of producing quality art will be many, many months.
But stick at it, as it's an invaluble skill.
If you have the time (such as a student in holidays, or teacher with the same), sitting down to 8 hours days will make you a master Photoshop/Illustrator user in a month easily. The programs are very intuitive if you have any sort of artistic flair to combine with that.DesignSource said:Month??? LOL, years!!
LMAO at "computer....git to it"
If you are involved in any sort of educational program, they are much cheaper (often a 1/3rd of the price).fresh said:can you download software like corel draw and adobe photo shop off the computer because they are really expensive?
