The left-side of your brain, which deals with the right-side of your body,  
is supposedly the more analytical; with the right-side (left-side of the  
body) being emotional etc. That's why left-handed people are supposedly  
more creative.

Oh, sure, *shading* is easy. It's drawing the lines in the right place 
that's hard... Most of my drawings involve no shading at all.

[For anybody that didn't know.]

The human brain is wired up back-to-front and upside-down. The left side 
of your brain receives sensory input from the left side of your body, 
yet *controls* the right side of your body. (Something to do with this 
being optimal for fast reactions when adjusting your balance or 
something.) Similarly, your visual cortex is at the *back* of your brain 
- as far away as possible from your eyeballs. Go figure... [This is, 
apparently, why being hit over the head with a baseball bat makes you 
see stars.]

   Well, if you continue to practice with shading work, then you will 
definately get better. It's like finding the right texture in PoV-Ray for 
the first time - you kind of don't forget it. Anyway, don't stop, you're 
doing well with it. Better than me at least for my doodling. :/

   LoL. Yeah, I guess it would. Thankfully, I haven't had that experience.

    Heh, I had a funny feeling I should be looking over my shoulder this

I just ended getting frustrated with GIMP. Copied Paint Shop Pro folder 
from my other machine.
