Nice idea Metal!

If people would be interested I could throw together a guide to drawing/inking/colouring with vector graphics in Adobe Flash?
I use a different way to draw digitally to how I draw on paper, which creates smoother line art and a much neater effect.
I'm sure plenty of people could do a much better guide to drawing traditionally or digitally with Photoshop (considering I don't use it).

Anyone interested?

Motto: "Swift to Destroy"

This might help someone if they're penciling an outline. I alway put a scrap piece of paper underneath my drawing hand while working, that way I don't accidently smudge the pencil or ink as I work.

Like I said might help might not its more a personal thing I do.

I wouldn't mind people giving tips and recommendations for computer painting programmes, like which one seems to be the best.
Something memorable here.

Use a Mechanical Pencil, you can get them for 20pence in some stores and they help, you can get all that small detail and big detail :) :grin:
