Ok, it's time for me to post something.
I used to draw a lot when I was a kid. Let's see if I can still do it. It's a rough sketch of Joe.
I made it in Word. Can't wait to get the Painter.
Wow, that is so very much Joe's face and expression! Can't wait to see the coloured version.

That is great meg.
My hands are not steady enough to try something like that free hand on the computer. (Or on paper for that matter) 
That's damm good Meg. I can't even do stick men.
Meg as soon as I looked at it could tell it was Joe, I like the angle...
You're very good at this!
I want to see more!!!
Wow, great pic, Meg! That's amazing that you did it in Word. Can't wait to see more of your work!
*Springie gets all excited*
Yay, Meg! That looks soooo good!! Great facial expression on Joe! It is so good to see another artist around here!! Keep up the great work!

Thast is terrific, Meg! You've captured Joe perfectly with just a few line.
You have a great deal of talent! 
The drawing looks great Meg, so correct on the facial features.
Thank you guys. I got inspired by all the artwork you've been posting, and I'll be happy to post more in future. Can't wait to get my hands on the Painter program. Word is a pain in the "bottom" to use 
Great work Meg! You captured alot of emotion in his face. Can't wait to see it coloured!
That is good stuff! Did you use a mouse or a digital pen to do that? If you say mouse I'm gonna be really impressed.

Aren't digital pens great? I have a Wacom tablet too, I have been hearing lately though they have improved them. I like mine but need to see what improvements there are.
Oh, I want a Wacom tablet...I am hoping to get one soon...
Wacom tablet is fantastic to use. I don't know much about it though. It's my hubby that keeps track of all improvements when it coms to computers, programs, etc.
Springie, I imagine you will enjoy drawing on it. I wish you that your wish soon comes true 
Wow Meg another talented artist is the fold with more yummy pics to look at!

I googled it (seems Tim has got me doing that a lot recently) does $200+ sound about right, those in the know?
I also see some at just under $100 cdn. Kimi, but the majority are in the $200-400 range with a couple as high as $500 This is from Futureshop.
It depends on the size you are getting. I spent about 300 for mine and it is 9x12. I felt if I'm going to draw on it I want it to feel like a drawing pad.
Also there is another type out there, and I wish I had seen this first, where you can draw directly on the computer screen. Shortly after I had bought my tablet my professor brought the screen in. But those are really pricey last I checked.
Sounds like something I will have to look into too....and dip my toe into drawing...
But I have to admit, it's easier to draw on the paper. On the tablet
my pen doesn't always end up where I want it to.

Meg they aren't easy characters to draw, Springie and Katsesama do a great job of it..
And it looks like you have the nack for it too, I can't wait to more of what you do!

Originally posted by megAnd it is really interesting to see how others "see" the characters, IYKWIM. The little quirks that stand out in your mind for each character. The little differences you have that makes it "your" picture and not some elses.Originally posted by Ebonyswanne Meg they aren't easy characters to draw, Springie and Katsesama do a great job of it..

Oh, Thank you TJ.
This Owl is honoured by your words, Ms. Swan. 
Originally posted by clouddancerWell said Cloud. I didn't think about it from that point of view.

Yeah, you can definitely see everyone's personal style, but you still know who the characters are...it's really neat to see everyone working on fan art, too!
