I've had ArtRage for a while and I've doodled in it. Just downloaded the upgraded version. Recently got my Intuos tablet. It does make a difference. Lots more finesse.

We visited the Merle Norman museum in Southern California and shot this picture, thought it would be interesting to paint it.

Hope you enjoy it.

I am burned out on some graphic arts after my 9 to 5 job as a graphic artist. What can I say, am working on a website. I work for a printing company.

Thanks for the welcome and the kind words. The program is great to use. Here's another one from the same trip to the museum. Added a bit of a woodcut to the background for texture in CorelPAINTER Elements.

I mainly work in vector but I like to paint too.

Very good ideas, well done. Glad to see you took a "stab" at Caesar.
The second one is good too. The shadow seems impossible to me, but well painted.
