Supposed to be a quick sketch until I decided to color it. Spent the majority of the time on that unfortunately... turned out ok.

On a side note, if you use alot of layers on a large canvas in shi-painter it's going to crash if your java is left in it's default setting. I found this out the hard way by ruining an advanced piece when I did a safety save after java ran out of memory. 2 hours of linework disappeared and no the undo button won't fix it and I had about 9 layers all mashed together in a big mess.

Anyway, try adding this to the Java applet runtime settings in your windows control panel: "-Xms64m -Xmx512m" (remove the quotes)
-Xms <-- minimum memory size java will use I have it set to 64Mb
-Xmx <-- maximum memory java will use, mine is at 512Mb so adjust this according to your system (I had to do this or the advanced piece I was working on wouldn't even load!)
Java is set to only use up 64Mb MAX by default...which is easily eaten up by several full layers on a large canvas.

*This stuff may not make a difference if you use less than 4 layers so if it ain't broke don't fix it...

You nailed his expression; eyes and mouth great. Thanks for the java info--I have had a couple of saved pictures refuse to load or, if they were saved with layers, only partially load. They were neither large canvas or on the advanced board so I'm not sure if your 'fix' will help but I'll try it.

I dunno who that guy is, though he looks familiar. Likin' the loose style.

Thanks for the comments!
dapoppa: YOU WIN TEH PRIZE!!!! Yep it sure it Sean Penn...with a sunburn lol

tc: It should fix that if you run out of memory, but if the layers come up merged together...you only hope is the undo button. I'm lucky because I had an earlier save with the line art only so I can finish it in painter.

HK: Sean Penn is an american actor...the guy in 21grams or I am Sam.
