I can't tell you how many times I would have to go back, hit edit and undo something so I could go and try to get it right! I finally learned to save my work periodically so that if I wanted to edit out more than a few strokes (edit will only "undo" so many commands) and I would have to go out of the painting and come back in I wouldn't lose so much of my work.... If that makes any sense to anyone but me! LOL!

I hope to get one of those tablets someday. The medium I use most is Prismacolor pencil on illustration board, so I think that would be closer to what I'm used to and less exasperating for me than using the mouse....and you're right Jim, it isn't the smoothest thing to draw with!

Yep...
It's like trying to draw a smooth shapes & straight lines.....
with the single sheet of paper laying on rough concrete or brick.

Having multiple levels of undo is a godsend, but I always try to save to a different name or # if I decide to make changes/alterations/variations.

LOL!I see you know SYDD.
SYDD is an imaginary friend....
At first, you wouldn't class SYDD as a friend.
An absolutely terrible sense of timing(showing up just when you get those creative juices flowing good),
a flamboyant showoff and a bit of a nagger,
but means well...

You learn to appreciate SYDD's reminders though...
Every once in while SYDD goes unicycling through the room, playing the decinstrumentophone strapped to his back while juggling flaming torches & chainsaws, yelling "Save Your Data Dummy!".

*For those in graphics, we understand SYDD prefers to yell "Save Your Drawing Dummy".

Rediculous ya say??
Correct!!!!

Sign of a wandering and somewhat unhinged mind???
This may also be true!!!

but it's better to imagine that idiot,
than feel like one yourself for not listening to the advice and losing all those hours of creative inspiration!!

ROFLOL! Jim you make me laugh! I love the way you describe stuff, like SYDD! It's sooooo true! And once I learned to listen to the nag, I found myself much less frustrated! The sad thing is how long it took me to fig'ger that out!
I can't wait till you finish freedomflight's bird so we can see it! You are phenominal!

Meredith: that is some very nice work you did!!! I cannot draw to save my life, but you are quite good.

Thank you Meredith! I love to draw, and horses are my main subject (go figure). Sometimes I get a wild hair and feel like drawing other things, but not very often. There's just nuttin better than horses!!!
