I guess I'll take that as a complement, as depressing as it sounds :(

My math isn't really all that great. I still can't add/subract most
fractions, and in school, I never even made it to algebra. I ended up
learning it by programming in QBasic. Over time I've found some tricks,
but show me an equation (like those you find at Wikipedia or
mathworld.wolfram) and I'm completely lost.

That drawing is so great! I like too how you replaced the gun for the
crystal, but I notice the shadow of the gun is still on his left hand.
:) Hope with Gimp Paint Shop brushes you may be able to do some nice
fine pencil sketching like that.
BTW, the tablet surface has some wonderful paper-like texture feel,
isn't it?

The crystal comes away from the hand towards the camera... I kept the
shadow of the gun and used it for the shadow of the crystal instead...
It's probably not accurate ;)

Yeah, I think I might try a geological diagram of eroded mountains soon.
That kind of sketching is nice for such things.
I was meaning to ask you, are the *GPS brushes an add-on for the Gimp?
If so, can you use them with Gimp 2.6? Or are the GPS brushes a whole
different version of the Gimp?
I like Gimp 2.6 for a few reasons, but it doesn't smear colors
correctly... It seems the developers might have broken the smear tool
when switching to the new color-handling scheme.

Yes, actually it does. It even sounds like drawing of fine paper.
I got to briefly play with a drawing tablet back in '99 or '00. Its
surface was too slick, and the report rate was *really* low. It was
lagging big-time. I'm glad tablets aren't like that anymore :)

It's a package containing a fine collection of brushes, patterns,
palletes and a few other goodies for the Gimp:
http://code.google.com/p/gps-gimp-paint-studio/
it's got a nice manual too. The spanish guy who created it is a fine
artist too.
Basically, it's just a zip and you copy its brushes, palletes and other
directories to the user gimp directories. Done.

hmm, didn't notice it... :s

a-ha, so that was your bias against it... :)

Hmm, I didn't really either - I do occasionally play with the smear tool
just for fun and it seems to work OK for me.

Everything's great when smearing high-contrast areas, but when you want
to smear, say, two dark shadowed areas, the tool stops working
completely :( I might have to make a bug report...

Interesting, I'll have to look at that myself.

do you have your opacity setting for the tool ok? Its mode? (sometimes I have
multiply on and nothing seems to work) how about brush dynamics?
I just filled a layer with a dark pattern and it seemed to work with varying
degrees of opacity and rate...

This is another bug that seems to occur exactly when I don't want it to.
As in everything is working fine now that I want to produce an example :/
Every time it happens I make sure to try all the options to fix the
problem, but nothing usually works. I even tried a side-by-side
comparison between 2.2 and 2.6. Version 2.6 definitely seemed "broken"
somehow.
But today, everything seems all right...
