BTW, yes, that's a common technique for getting precise curves.
Everybody has their best hand positioning for drawing precise curves.
Didn't thought of that with a tablet. It indeed feels a bit awkward to
not have this possibility in Gimp so far, but I've managed to simply do
everything on the wrist movement alone.

No, I write POV-Ray patches :-P

Yeah, it's a great tool.

What I do is detach the Image> Transform menu to keep it around as a
rotate palette. You only get 90, 180, & 270 degrees, but it's enough :\

An entire year of drawing classes, and I never once produced anything
approaching being this good. Kind of depressing, really. I guess I just
inherantly suck at drawing. :-(

Some of us don't even have the talent to do that...
...so we perform numerical integration instead. ;-)

Well, everyone has a special talent: you have good math skills. My
skills at math and povray are kinda poor. Sam just beat both of us in
both drawing, math and povray! :D

I'm not sure where everybody gets this idea from. I have no idea how to
perform polynomial division, complete the square, factorise polynomials,
compute triangle angles or any number of other basic school-level math
tasks. (Not forgetting of course that I have *no idea* what 7 * 6 is
without getting out pencil and paper to calculate it.)

Heh. I'm used to being beaten. It's the story of my life...

well, I thought your alias mathorchid and Haskell affinity would have
anything to do with it. Your fractal renderings too...
How are you supposed to know about basic school-level math stuff when
you didn't go to a normal school? And forget that, you're way past that
basic level, you're now an advanced math geek using computers to do the
low-level math glue code... :D
