Man, your painting are awensome! You only paint in the computer? I broke my tablet, I don't touch the pen in the tablet, and it begin to draw! Weird...

Great man... I really like the philosophy of DaVinci!

Listen Xia, is it possible you give us some tips that your office experts have. You can consider yourself really lucky to have those great artists around you... I would suggest you if you can to make another interview to some of them as you did long ago! I really wish so!
It would also be awesome for your blog...

Majur > If your cursor pulls towards one corner, you might want to try reinstalling the drivers or try a different USB-port.

Majur> I draw and paint traditionally before I start computer. Computer skill I adopted during the job back in 2002. Sorry to hear about your tablet. It could be the driver if you use Vista. Or worst case scenario, hardware. I have very limited technical knowledge, sorry could be any help. Google it, you might find some useful tip and solution. Good luck

Bud the stud> I wish I have time to do that. I usually do 3-5 tutorials in one sitting, then go work, work out or play or practice something. Plus, it's a big commitment. Sorry,...:)

Luca> Maybe...I don't know. It's a lot of prep work...I rather draw or paint when I have free time. But if you lucky one of these days if I feel like.

Knuckle> Good tips thanks brother.
