Nice pics!
I like how good this initial sketch is looking, so basic and using the pressure sensitivity really efficient , classic DS methods! That makes we want ask you , do you calibrate your screen often, and then, do you press hard or soft as you calibrate? I found lately my ds needs pressing too hard for it to work fluently..

It's crazy and wonderful to watch you paint. Blobs of colours, splashings of even more colour and then the fine tuning to turn it all into a very delightful scene. I so want to be free like this, but I hold onto the labourious detail type of painting. One day.

Fantastic , really like this, fantastic rich reds and browns, and as you know was my favorite playground, can you tell me where you are painting from? it looks to me you maybe somewhere above Ogwen cottage with pen yr ole wen to the left and tryfan on the right maybe? Fav :)*++++

wow u've been busy lately

Thanks, as always, for your encouragement.
@Madwurmz: Screen calibration... what's that shit? hehe... I haven't 'calibrated' my screen since the final DS release that gave that option. It took me a while to get back into the swing of things. Now that my DS is so unresponsive, I don't want to re-calibrate at this point because I'm too damn used to the dead spots and the hot spots. I actually use those when at 100% zoom as I can 'pan' the canvas and drag to a dead spot if I want to add a lighter touch... saves me messing with the opacity slider!

@Gaz: It's somewhere on the way back from Llyn Cowlyd between a bridge over a stream and a well used path that bent to our right, as you look at the scribble. I got myself down in one of the little hollows, or dips.

nice
