You're like me. I'm hopeless with computers, I get frustrated with photoshop so I end up with my pencils again. i love to see the photoshop artwork though, and admire those who mastered it.

I have been experimenting with lead drawing and touches of colour highlight to make the picture look like one of those old hand coloured photos that hold so much charm. I have a thing about using transparent paints. It must come from years of using porcelain paints that you shade in layers (one firing at a time) So I like water colours it just doesn't scan in very well. I have gotten better at scanning in my pencil drawings to bring out the maximum in them, it just takes practice.

Love to see some of your pics f you post them in the gallery.

I will do some posting, I really will . . . it's a matter of sitting down and getting some scans that look decent.  I have a few pieces that are inked and should scan well.  I think I inked a few of the cartoons as well; I should chase those down.  'Most everything else is in pencil; rather faint pencil at that.  I need to do some cleanup work!
