I am relatively new to electronic drawing and so using the tools is out of my comfort zone. I usually try to create effects just by using paint & color, even when drawing electronically. I am amazed at the effects that artists create with these tools. I gave it my best try, and I hope I can continue to learn and use the tools to improve my art.

This drawing was done on the Lascaux board, using the following tools: layers, straight line, curve line, oval, filled oval, rectangle, filled rectangle, blend, blur, dodge, & burn. I tried to use as many of the tools as there were available for the board. I wanted to use the magic wand for something, but I still don't understand how or when I would use that tool.

More than anything else, I wanted to capture his expression... that "thousand mile stare". Think I got it.
