Found a Fun Painting Program...
Called Artrage. Link here...http://www.ambientdesign.com/artrage.html
Very easy to use and the basic program is free.
However, after playing with it for a week, I ordered the $25 download of the
full version. Has the look of being hand-drawn, not digital.
Here's an example of a V-day card that my 11 yr old son and I created
for is his class party today. (Our house should be full of chocolate hearts tonight.)
We used "paint," "marker," "air brush," and "crayon" brush tools to create it.
He just got some red high-top "Chucks" so we put them on Mr. Heart too.

Doug--kind of figured that you, being the digital master painter-san that you are, would have seen this before.
Now for me, after 4 years, I still can't get PS to do what I want it to do,
when I want it done.
Just too many key combinations to push or menus to find.
(Why does every fill I add have to be in a new layer, and not in the
same one......uuaarrraagghhh!)

Did some more doodling with Artrage.
Really like this program, must get better at bitmap painting...
Just must practice..., practice..., practice!
(Used chalk, brush, pencil, marker and crayon tools.)

Thanks...
Rich--Yes it does. The tool menu interface is just an easy touch and/or drag with the stylist to changes brushes, sizing and colors.
Try downloading the basic free version, it's missing a few tools, but you can see how easy it
is to use the menus with a styist.
Still working on how to use the stencils and tracing (similar to having a light table) features.

Jason--Nope, unfortunately Acrylic never made it to retail as tested. M/S did a big change to the program
before releasing it as Expression Design which is one of a 3 program Expression Suite product for
Vista that I haven't wanted to buy.
Final version turned out to be very similar (IMO) to Adobe Illustrator, and lost all of the bit map features, just kept the vector drawing stuff.
