Manga Studio Fun part 1 (cattyness!)

Recently I bought Manga Studio under the influence of, well, some stuff I read online and that it was on sale. But truth to be told the one I got was a pretty good value anyway. And on contrary to what name suggests, you don't have to draw exclusively manga on it... The main selling point for me was the fact that it is much better for creating linework than Photoshop. And to be honest, given the low price point (I paid a total of about £50, of which £20 was the shipping from USA) I though: ah, why not treat myself? :P

I haven't really had much time to play with it until now. Although I am still jsut starting out to try all the options, so far I am pretty happy :)

Here is some catty lifedrawing of Ollie the PuddyFat.

It's not just humans that appreciate Sir David Attenborough

This is the time for another set of phonecamera snapshots. I do apologize for the artistic values, but then some things I just have to record. Sometimes the cameraphone is the most convenient way... It will be a degree taught at art school one day, I am sure of it.

Anyway. A week ago I went on a short relaxing trip to the COUNTRYSIDE. Visiting the Pojkvän's family is always great, and most times it contains:
1. Eating
2. Cuddling puddyfat that goes by the name of Ollie and every time we visit seems to have expanded further
3. Log fires
4. Drinking lots of coffee and beer
5. Much needed relaxation and chilling
6. Eating, eating, eating...
By no means I am complaining about any of it! I love every second and it's always sad to leave.

This time I have learned something new though. The slightly slobby cat that loves food, naps and strokes (and going out to the garden too - to grab and extracurricular snack in the form of a blue tit, for example) has got another passion.

Sir David Attenborough.

I have no doubts that he is amazing. As far as I am concerned he is definetely one of my heroes. If I was to pick one genre of films to watch for the rest of my life it would be documentaries, and that is mainly due to childhood spent watching cheetahs and lions, and ants, and... Many other creatures, narrated by Sir David. I did not expect felines to share this passion though (that is possiby beccause I read somewhere that cats and dogs don't see 2d images in the same way as humans do, which I am not sure is true or not and frankly I don't think I care). We were informed that Ollie absolutely LOVES David Attenborough, but remained sceptical to this revelation. Until what has been documented below took place. (All pictures in chronological order and were NOT set up - cats aren't the best of actors).

See and believe! ;)

Hey, I wanna play with you...
