Well said, Jean. I just finished (unfortunately), having to rebuild my main computer system due to Windows corruption and a crash. Thank goodness I lost no data. But, in the process of deciding the best approach to handling my situation, there were many different opinions, all convinced they were utterly right. My head was in a spin. But, in the end, I took all the information I had collected and made my choice - the choice that felt best to me. Just like each individual artist will make their choices as to their methods in the end.

In art, seems to me that it's the end-product that the consumer cares about. Does the art touch them, does it make them want to buy it? I doubt that they care much about cads or not. Bottom line is, there are different methods and each artist adopts the method they feel right about or comfortable with. There are no absolutes and no amount of Marvin or Tim trying to convince the other will ever change the other's views.

Thank you Tim and Marvin for giving our members a chance to learn about different methods. You're both right - for yourself and for those that love your art. So, please, each present your methods as you like - there's something here for all to learn - but, perhaps each of you should start a thread on your own method and the other keep out of that thread.
