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

Heh, well, perhaps. Still, you don't need to know any maths at all to
install and run FractInt.

That's about the size of it, really.

Haha, well maybe. It just seems like there's a whole crapload of math I
don't understand that everybody else does. But maybe that's just because
I'm surrounded by people way smarter than me...

Excellent! Wacom makes a great tablet. I have a small intuos3 at home
The drawing area is about the size of a 4x6 card, but it doesn't
dominate the desk. I use mine mostly for photo retouching/clean-up, and
it works exceptionally well for me. I occasionally do some sketches, but
nothing on the level that you've demonstrated.

I didn't know Illustrator was pressure sensitive. Cool ;)

Nice drawings :) I used to draw quite well in HS, but it's been a long
time since I've done any serious drawing.

A good tablet never is. I'm glad I have mine :)

Well, story goes that Einstein sucked at maths as well....

Thanks! The last "serious" drawing I made was for a fellow mineral hound:
http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq199/stbenge/berylProspector_retouched.jpg?t=1257362210
Just pencil-on-paper and referenced from this photo of Prospector Gabby:
http://mentalfloss.cachefly.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/gabby.jpg
I thought it would be funny to show a miner holding an impossibly large
beryl crystal, but as it turns out, specimens of that size are
occasionally found :S

Last time I talked to my grandmother she asked if I was drawing much and
I said no... she sounded so let down. I realized that I should probably
keep my skills up. Buying the tablet was like investing in myself :)
