My Dad and my Sister are both great artists. They work in Acrylics, Oils, Colored Pencil, and some other colored chalk kinda stuff, I think it's time I learned, maybe I have the drawing Gene. I have only done very much with carved sculpture and cabinet making. I got the music artist gene...well sort of LOL. Great post, a nice change-up from just software. I am thinking of getting aa drawing pad for my PC. Oh, I also design Speakers (both the cabinet and the crossovers/electronics, sometimes the amps with active x-overs) and other things using my PC. I love all the design and science posts on here as well.
