Really cool! See you just made me "kick my own butt" as I have ArtRage and haven't try to use it in a long time!

I've never used it before, other than messing about with the brushes a year ago. Definitely one to use more often for me.

Well you have done an excellent job for only using it the one time! Well when I see the job that it does when others use it, I keep telling myself to toy with it but I just don't get to it. Anyway hope you can use it more, as you really did a cool job!

Thanks. Your gallery suggests you'd make great use of it. When I get a tablet I'll probably try my hand at more advanced paintings.

Your welcome, and I used it at times but I also have PS2, Gimp2.6 and Manga Studio 4 but all act so different. I normally use markers on my drawings, and then use the GIMP since it is the first software application I got familiar with. I use it to enhance things within the drawings like details in the eyes or areas that I can not do using my now "old" eyes. If I'm going to paint a pic, I scan the penciled or inked work then I paint it. I have only a handful of completely digitally made pics, I'm not that good at using the software programs but I will get there at some point! :)

Similar situation for me, even down to PS2, (but not my copy). I started with Paint.net almost 2 years ago, but found its no good for advanced painting. Gimp 2.6 was also the first program I made full use of for digital painting. I also do my digital paintings from scanned sketches. This one in particular I inverted the colours of the sketch in Gimp, and moved on to paint it in Artrage.

If you haven't tried before, then I also recommend Mypaint and Paint Tool SAI. Mypaint avoids a bloated and complicated interface, and focuses mostly on the brushes, and theres not much of a learning-curve required. Sai has in my opinion, got the best on-canvas colour blending, and it's also reputed for it's inking and line-art.
