Man, 40, you sure know a lot about this stuff.  Thanks for all your input, I love it!

I remember in my early teens when I came across the movie "Heavy Metal".  I don't remember how I saw it, maybe it was on cable or something.  I thought it was so naughty.

Just don't let me catch you reading any of those Gor novels by John Norman!

Old sci-fi convention joke:

Mom-1: I can't believe some of what they're calling sci-fi these days.

Mom-2: Yeah. Did you see what they had over in that Heavy Metal booth?

Mom-1: Yes I did. It's pornographic - and I don't care who says otherwise.

Mom-2: Well, just so long as the younger kids aren't reading stuff like that.

Mom-1: But they are! Just last week I caught my 13 year old daughter reading Captive of Gor!

Mom-2: OMG! She's reading books like that? What did you do?

Mom-1: I gave her a spanking - and then I sent her to bed without supper!

Mom-2: Yikes! That was some punishment!  Did she learn her lesson?

Mom-1: Well...no. In fact, I think I might have made it worse.

 ;D

"Spank me!", said the masochist. "No!", said the sadist.

40hz, I just got the book:
The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics

It is fantastic.  It is exactly, precisely, 100% the book I was looking for.  He is the only person who has written a book on this subject, there isn't even anyone close.  And he's done an awesome job.  It's not about drawing, it's not about how to draw well...it's all about how to get things done using the computer.  And he does a great job showing the pros and cons of the digital method vs. traditional paper and pencil.  Thanks man, you are a source of endless useful information around here.

De nada. :)

I thought it was a pretty amazing book myself. All substance. (How rare is that in the computer book world?)

The thing that impressed me the most is how broadly applicable Fred Williams' techniques are to all forms of digital illustration. Too bad his book has the word "comics" in the title and uses a lot of Marvel-style art. That's going to automatically turn off a lot of artists and illustrators who could otherwise benefit by reading it.

Why not do a mini review of it in the What books are you reading" thread if you get a chance?
Some other DoCo members might it useful too. And your impressions of the book would be especially interesting since you've got a live project to apply some of it to.
