And she was really keen to try her hand at making art on a tablet pc.<\/p>\n<p>So I shifted out of the artist&#8217;s seat, and became her model for an hour or so.<\/p>\n<p>She worked a few layers above my cartoon strip.<\/p>\n<p>The portrait is by both of us, only cos I dabbled a bit in creating some background colouring and highlights. The rest is all Gabrielle&#8217;s. Apart from Matinee Soup, of course.<\/p>\n<p><i>We made this painting using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambientdesign.com\/artrage.html\">ArtRage 2.2<\/a> on my Toshiba Tecra M4 in La Concorde, where the service is&#8230; uh&#8230; discreet? (In other words, we have to go downstairs to find a waiter. But hey. Who&#8217;s perfect?)
