Thank you so much Baz, I am going to go through every resoruce I can with a fine tooth comb, that I assure you :-) I will read the manual, practice and everything. I am a newbie, and I can't really draw well to be honest and I am hoping that the computer might be an outlet for me. I have some experience with photoshop however, I will study your above suggestion and do my best. On a completely different subject, has anyone here tried to do Star wars aliens, and clothing? I am just in awe of it all, sorry... Rob S.
