Some weeks ago i got Corel Painter X, after working with photoshop, which has never convinced me to do good digital portraits. But what a change!!! the tools are just great, the blending tool is the best of all for the mixing of colours...just to say it's unbelievable. Even though i like the digital art, some day i'll work on some pencil portraits i have somewhere on my desk to give them a nice finish and publish them right away...
