I sat down with Painter again on the weekend, and I think I'm starting to find my mojo with it. I think I just have to try out all the brushes until I find ones that click. For instance, one of the coloured pencil brushes I find is great for doing outlining. It's a matter of having the time, I guess. Once tomorrow's exam is out of the way, that's one less thing I have to do, as opposed to things I want to do.

I need to force myself to pick up pencil and paper every day or so, just as I'm trying to force myself to write every day.
