rainwatersparkAm I the only one who actually doesn't like England's CD cover? ._.

I find the angle a bit strange, I have no idea what's going on with his right hand, and...yeah, the main thing that threw me off was the strange angle England's standing at. It's like his body and legs are bent at 135 degrees from each other. @_@
Otherwise, I do like his outfit. Punk!England for the win. :D
So...art. Since I have practically the whole month (why am I not doing anything? It's a long explanation you can read about at my blog), I told myself I would practice art everyday to improve my skills. Hetalia somehow inspired in me this flaming desire to go from being a competent artist to a decent, somewhat good one, and ever since I tried out Corel Painter and fell in love with it, I thought I had a chance of making it happen.
A few things that are standing in my way:
1. Currently I'm waiting for my copy of Painter to arrive, as my trial has expired. Okay, so this isn't a serious impediment by any means, but it's been making me feel a bit restless these days.
2. My Windows's monitor is really screwy and makes doing art on it difficult. I do have my Mac, but the Windows is the only computer I can scan things into, and I can't transfer PSD files between my Mac and Windows.
3. Maybe the biggest problem is that whatever artwork I create looks significantly different between my Mac and Windows monitors (in terms of contrast, which is important). I have no idea how to fix this, and though this will remain an irritation, there's probably nothing I can do about it.
