Really? Actually bashed? That's unfortunate. I've spent a lot of time working with colour in photoshop when I have a line drawing but can't get my hands on pastels or whatnot, but I find that I can never get the lines just the way I want them with a mouse. Computer art has its place, but it's no replacement for working by hand.

No worries. I love discussions like this, actually, and in art, everyone is entitled to an oppinion.
