SketchBook Pro 2011

Autodesk SketchBook Pro 2011

This is a great program. I think there are some known issues with it. I found that while running it in Windows7 64bit the "add image" "save" dialogue boxes were invisible so nothing could be saved or imported. After countless downloads and uninstalls, driver swaps, and rollbacks, I have determined that I needed to run the program as Administrator. Oh well, at least I can move on to my next challenge.

Painting Stripes on a Zebra

This past Christmas, I was asked to do a follow up piece for my nephews' art collection. "Zebra" - (immediately below) - which currently hangs over their mantle, now has a companion -  It was once a white rocking horse that lived next door at the neighbors house and now resides in my nephews living room. I had trouble starting this one but once I did the stripes seemed to know exactly where to go.

In regards to the question, is a Zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes?" I can conclusively say that this particular Zebra is white with black stripes, however, the Zebra in the painting is an entirely different story.
