Wish I had your stamina monroy_junkie! :) Felt the same when I first started watching but go slowly to absorb and try what is said in each lesson. So far learned more quickly than ever and am planning on signing up for Kelbytraining.com where there are more detailed Bert Monroy lessons. Hope he contributes a lot there! (hint)

Thanks for turning me on to the Smudgeguard art glove. I live in hot California climate and will find it useful. Ordered the 12WX Cintiq after saving and scraping together enough and plan to sell my giant Wacom 12x19 space hog for a smaller 6X8 portable to defray expense. Thought I needed it because Jeremy Sutton has one, but was way wrong. As time passes have become more practical...

Episode 67 inspired me to try Illustrator if I have enough room left to install it on my aging computer. Looks like a wonderful tool and between Photoshop and Painter I'm emboldened enough to give it a shot.

I have to try messing around with Live Paint. It looks like it's something they got from Macromedia, it's very similar to how Flash handled vector art.

Dammit, that just makes me want a Cintiq even more!

Bert, I found your show just the other day, and I watched all 66 episodes in one weekend. I was hooked. Awesome stuff. Thank you.

Episode 67 was fantastic. Morty opened a whole new world into Illustrator for me, and I've been working in Illustrator since the beginning.

BTW, I have a Cintiq as well, and I use a glove similar to the one shown in this video...

I highly recommend it.

Keep up the good work! You truly make a difference.

Have you tried pressing the "f" key or the tab key? That will switch out your workspace for you.
