Doodles and Finished Pieces

[Gwen]

I've got painter 12 on trial, and the brushes and effects are great! I do think it's overpriced and I was really pissed off when I discovered I had to "register" to carry on using even the trial version (the program wouldn't start up unless you went through this, infuriating).
tried out pretty much everything on the first run
a quick (maximum four hours i think?) self-portrait i did, second run through painter. i can't tell you how irritating it is to be blinded by light when drawing on a computer screen, i spent over half the time squinting and not able to see the values properly.
The ink brushes are my favourite by far.

Both of those are fantastic! I liked the first one so much its now my desktop
I think it'd also make a killer t-shirt.
