Raster, vector, and live. The painting brushes are the live style (oil and watercolor). The paint stays "wet" as you paint, so it is relatively close to actual painting. Ink brushes (and pencil, charcoal, conte) are part of the raster collection.

Mostly I'm using it as an excuse to practice with a wacom tablet. I've been using the touch pad to edit all my photos, and my professor (the guy in the watercolor) has been pushing me to use a tablet - which I've tried on the past and found harder to use. His theory is that if I use it exclusively for a few weeks I'll love it.

Once classes start I'll be doing lots of sketching. I started thinking I would play around with sketching using the tablet, but I think I need a better feel for sketching on paper before switching to digital.
