Round brushes are very computer-y and don't always suit your style. Have you tried using shi-painter? Its textured brushes are gimmicky but the "water 2" tool might look better than lascaux's "blend" option.
yeah, sometimes the really round look of the brushes stick out too much in your pictures, but when it blends in nicely like on the nose, it looks a whole lot better. I like the quick sketchy style, but not too sketchy.
This must be one of the guys who tried out for the "Surgeon General's Warning" picture auditions. The ones where they show images of nasty teeth on the back of cigarette cases.
