@TreeBeerd It's hard to fit these things in around everything else, but I've become an addict! Looking forward to your B! 9:21 PM May 24th via web in reply to TreeBeerd

@meghunt OK then you're good to go! I love going back & forth from computer to paints. Let me know how it goes! 9:08 PM May 24th via web in reply to meghunt
@meghunt Oh you don't have to do that-- you can scan in a sketch & just manipulate it to clean it up. Do you have any sort of tablet? 8:18 PM May 24th via web in reply to meghunt
@meghunt I'm with you on that! But you can work out the design digitally & then use a lightbox or vellum. 8:11 PM May 24th via web in reply to meghunt
@meghunt I did lots of patterns 100% by hand back in the day, but even if drawing the final art by hand, I still find it useful to use PS. 8:03 PM May 24th via web in reply to meghunt

@KidGMan I'm sure 8-year-old inner-you is so happy to get that pencil in hand again!! I bet a tsunami of sketches is coming! 7:18 AM May 24th via Twitter for iPad in reply to KidGMan
@KidGMan Doesn't it feel good though? I went all digital for a few years & then realized I really needed the hands-on stuff too. 7:07 AM May 24th via Twitter for iPad in reply to KidGMan
