Ground Zero

So I did manage to recover some of the stuff we were messing around with while in our initial "discovery" of the tool.

On the right was a trace of Angelina Jolie's face. While we were all very impressed with how awesome it was that we could trace Angelina Jolie's face into the computer it actually appears that my skills are so far lacking that I was even able to make that look like a 2-year old did it.
The face you see on the left was my first attempt at a free-hand drawing. I think I kind of started with a head shape and filled in stuff - of course thinking the whole "eraser" feature was really, really cool. It was like drawing with a pen - which I have decided I like better than drawing with a pencil, but you can erase it. And the cool part is that it doesn't destroy the paper when you erase it or leave little hints of stuff behind (like a pencil eraser does). Oh - and the eraser never gets dirty and starts to smudge stuff around rather than erase. It's really cool!


One problem I do have is drawing straight lines. When I'm tracing it seems that the lines come out pretty smooth - so I know it's really just me, but as you can see on the drawing to the left - everything is really thick. That's because I had to keep running my pen up and down the lines to even them out - and erase around the line where I went too far astray.
