I used "Blender" for the gingerbreadman but stupid me . . . i was just following orders from the tutorial and i havent used it again.

I tried to download the Gimp tutorial from the gimp website but it was 81MB which would take my computer about 3 days to download. I hate starcomms!
I'll check out your website sha

Your Raw talent is an advantage, most people fail to realise that knowledge of just the tools don't count much because the industry thrives on creativity and your ability to sell yourself.

You can start by learning to Use Corel Draw, Photoshop and adobe illustrator. take them one at a time, in time you would see how they complement each other plus your creativity.

Go through online tutorials, don't just folow the steps play a little, mix and come up with your own style (this sets you apart).

don't stop at Corel Draw, Photoshop and adobe illustrator, learn about colors, read about fonts and arm yourself with good ones, look at your environment-learn from nature (light & shade). experiment alot.

Offer your service as a creative designer to your immediate community: Churches, schools, and small biz around.

Over time you would improve, as you grow don't forget to give back: mentor someone, share ideas, don't let pride get in the way.

Enjoy yourself.
