Not bad for a first attempt. With a little practice you could probably become a really good artist.

Well it has a event playback function were the artist can record himself drawing the picture and play it back. A lot of tutorials online use it for that. Also ive never actually used it myself but a lot of artists like it for drawing straight onto the computer. They say it gives you a cleaner and smoother line. It all really comes down to personal preference. For me it really doesnt matter though since I ink with flash mx. Vector over raster anyday.

Edit: Oh yeah and it has free rotation wich is more like coral painter. Photoshop has nothing to easily rotate your work to get a better angle. But I was wrong its not free, its just a free trial.

You'd be right Sykes, its brilliant for drawing straight onto your computer, it can be used to accurately represent the pressure you apply to your tools when drawing, which makes it excellent for drawing from scratch, as it would appear Atomik did, however for mod work, or working from material you already have, photoshop or similar tools are far more useful, all depends what you want to use it for really. And you'd be right about the free trial, however it continues to work after the free trial with more limited functions. You should try it Sykes for just doodling, especially if you happen to have a graphics tablet, just like drawing on paper I found.
