Vexelling began the same for me, and I think almost everyone else. Struggling with the equipment and skin colours, no this isn't perfect, that isn't perfect, and get so frustrated. I started out with a Lasso (yes that frickin bloody thing that makes it hella choppy), then the Polygonal Lasso, and now I'm with the Pen Tool.

Anyhoo, my name is Mandy, and I'm fourteen. I hold a party on 18 Jan every year, I'm sure you know what that means. I've been vexelling for approx, six months at the most. I used to hate it but I now appreciate the art and admire those with the patience and time to complete a piece of artwork.

I suppose sometimes I try too hard, because when I look at others' work, yes, I feel that tinge of jealousy lingering around, rofl. I really, yes, seriously hope to be half as good as these amazing people, I'll be contented.

Well, I guess that's all I'll have to say, I'm sorry if you fell asleep halfway.
