Picture Publisher vs. Con sketch (WIP)
Screenshot of the very obscure app I use for all my art. Here, I'm digitally inking a photo of a sketch I did for ZinaCat at Anthrocon. You can see the "object manager" that stands in for layers in more familiar apps, as well as the "Multiply" mode on the object I'm doing my linework. In MPP, these objects don't occupy the entire workspace unless you select the entire image first like I did here. Typically, these objects are confined to the size of the (lasso, magic wand, etc) selection/mask that spawned them, making them more like sprites than layers in a sense, but they can be manipulated like layers. Anyhoo...
I now make it a practice to photograph any sketch I do at a convention, even though I place my email address on them for scans to be sent to, in the event the sketchbook's owner forgets (I've done it too, but I spontaneously go through my stuff every so often looking for stuff I've forgotten to do). Now that I've learned how to do digital inking, first accomplished with my 3000-pageview commemorative, I need not pester the folks I did sketches for--as long as I remember to shoot my stuff when it's done.
This image will be colored and better described when uploaded. As of this posting, ZinaCat isn't watching my account, so hopefully it'll be a surprise when it's done (I'll drop her a note)

It probably doesn't (in fact I'm pretty sure it doesn't)--this is a Windows 95-era application, after all. And while it was indeed a "Photoshop wannabe" in its day, I don't think PS did vectors back then (I could be wrong about that though).
I have done vector work with Deneba (ACD) Canvas--I got a free copy of version 7 and 8 off a UK computer magazine, and did the first few pics in my gallery with it, but it was a little tedious to trace with (although according to Canvas' built-in project log, the pieces didn't take very long--I think I included the times in the descriptions of those pics). I've downloaded Inkscape but have yet to install it.
As for the stair-step effect, it's not that I desire it, but most of it will disappear under antialiasing when I resize the pic for display here. I always work larger than final size (although I do archive the larger versions)

The irony is this is actually easier to do with a mouse than with a tablet, as I mentioned to [b]Henbe[/i] above, I use the segmented-line-line tool to trace the penciled lines. A mouse is actually better for this kind of work because it stays put when you click the button to start another line segment, and doesn't introduce little zigzags at most joints the way a tablet pen does (unless you're very methodical with it).
