Seeing the artwork proceed like that is kind of breathtaking -- hard to believe that in these days of photography some folks still have the patience to learn those techniques (though, of course, there are aesthetic effects you can achieve that way that go beyond the simple representational abilities of a camera). And with a computer paint program, no less! Amazing. (I had fun playing with Mac Paint back in 1984, but I certainly never produced anything beyond what an untrained person could do with a can of spray paint and no fear of making a permanent mess. ;-> And these days, I barely have enough fine motor control left in my hands to write legibly.).
