Allie Alligator

Learning to see as an artist is the very foundation of drawing. A thorough visual examination of your subject is the most important ingredient for making great sketches. This lesson challenges you to rely completely on your visual skills rather than verbal instructions. Thirty illustrations take you through the process of combining lines with shapes to create a cartoon drawing of an alligator.

This was fun. Finally picked up an ultra fine marker which helps.

The toughest part for me is coloring. I wind up having to use my Corel PSPX2U (that isn't working very well) to delete the background and do layers to redo the color and it takes forever to get it to match what my watercolor pencils do...but... when you love to draw and paint; what's a bit more of it; but fun.

Agapetos is right, I use the Gimp myself all the time and it's much more powerful than what I use it for, I hear many professionals use it as well, so it's worth trying.

Great lesson. I only have one remark. You often mention that drawings can be digitally colored using Adobe Photoshop. Legally obtained, Photoshop is a very expensive piece of software and many simply can't affort it without resorting to so-called Internet "piracy". Perhaps it would be appropriate to mention Gimp along with Photoshop. Gimp (www.gimp.org/) is a freely (free as in free beer and freedom) distributed open-source software, and in most cases it's just as powerful as Photoshop.
