Nice. I've never done anything digital. Just Pencil and charcoal. I'm just old school I guess.:lol:

Yeah, its tough to get the hang of, certainly. But the amount of things you can do is incredible. Thanks for having a look :up: :rock:

It is amazing what a graphic tablet with differing pressure sensitive pencil can do with a software that simulates paintbrushes, and that even mimics the amount of paint left in the brush, and how far it spreads depending on how strong you press the pencil. I used that in PSP9, though unfortunately I am not paint artist and thus, while fascinated nevertheless, left it to some pieces of involutnary abstract modern art. :D I use it for photo editing for the most.

Just to be sure, I did not mean my remark as a crticism, in no way! ;) It just came to my mind when reading "art".

Oh of course, I'd love to try a tablet, but I'm useless drawing on paper, let alone a digital pad :88)

Thankyou for all the kind comments :D

I'm tempted to do some Subsim portraits if anyone's interested. Take the load off of Torplexed's shoulders :arrgh!:

Who's his favourite TV protrayal? For me there's no-one better than Jeremy Brett. I dont know which Watson I preferred however, I liked David Burkes' comic relief, but Hardwickes' chemistry with Brett

Hard to say - I liked them both. But there's no doubt, Brett was the quintessential Holmes.

I recently got a 7 disc boxset of Brett's Holmes

(And also, notice how Hardwicke actually kinda looks like an older Burke :doh:)
