Here is something I was playing with the other night. Still not that great but I feel I'm making progress.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Personally I couldn't paint my way out of a paper bag. But a Wacom tablet is a great help when editing photos and I've read where artists say that after using one, they'd never go back to working with a mouse alone.

It takes some practice to paint but I think anyone can do it. I been looking for a sketch pad but those things cost alot of money and I just don't sketch good enough to afford one. When I do sketch I do it on paper and then scan it in and color it. The above "painting" was free hand (no underlying sketch). My clouds are getting better but I have too much blue in this one. The grass is a green airbrush with noise added and then a motion blur to give it the illusion of blades of grass.

At http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=wacom&x=0&y=0 you can get a Intuos3 4x6 for $209.00. I've had the Intuos3 6x8 for a couple years now and it makes life a lot easier. I don't know if you've bought from Newegg or not. Over the last 10 years I've bought thousands of dollars of hardware from them . GREAT people to do business with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. You order in the morning and it goes out that day. Cheap shipping too.

A man of many surprising talents but a bit of madness would produce wonders in your style !
And as an aside.
................................The Butterfly
by Nikos Kazantzakis (1885-1957) from Zorba the Greek]
I remember one morning when I discovered a cocoon in the back of a
tree just as a butterfly was making a hole in its case and preparing
to come out. I waited awhile, but it was too long appearing and I was
impatient. I bent over it and breathed on it to warm it. I warmed it as
quickly as I could and the miracle began to happen before my eyes,
faster than life. The case opened; the butterfly started slowly
crawling out, and I shall never forget my horror when I saw how its
wings were folded back and crumpled; the wretched butterfly tried
with its whole trembling body to unfold them. Bending over it, I tried
to help it with my breath, in vain.
It needed to be hatched out patiently and the unfolding of the wings
should be a gradual process in the sun. Now it was too late. My
breath had forced the butterfly to appear all crumpled, before its time.
It struggled desperately and, a few seconds later, died in the palm of
my hand.
That little body is, I do believe, the greatest weight I have on my
conscience. For I realize today that it is a mortal sin to violate the
great laws of nature. We should not hurry, we should not be
impatient, but we should confidently obey the external rhythm.
"I sat on a rock to absorb this New Years's thought. Ah, if only that little butterfly could always flutter before me to
show me the way."

I haven't watched South Park in a very long time, yet that was for some reason the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture. :o
"If you bound the arms and legs of gold-medal swimmer Michael Phelps, weighed him down with chains, threw him in a pool and he sank, you wouldn't call it a 'failure of swimming'. So, when markets have been weighted down by inept and excessive regulation, why call this a 'failure of capitalism'?"
