Heck, post those too, if you want. It's interesting to see what kids 
produce!

You've *got* to use the sculpt tool. It has its quirks, like any tool, 
but there's so much you can do with it. Try making freehand shapes with 
the free modeling program ShapeShop (http://www.shapeshop3d.com/), open 
the object with Blender, and go sculpt away! SS is buggy, but good.

No doubt! All the same, I keep a ream of printing paper at hand. It's 
such a cheap medium, and you can always scan your art to prevent yellowing.
