Question: Did you sketch that picture in #2123 on paper and scan it into the computer or did you sketch it on the computer?

On paper and scanned. :) Also, pencil sketches don't scan well - or at least they didn't on my scanner at the time. They required quite a bit of retouching in my graphics software to soften it. (which at that time was Adobe PhotoDeluxe)

It’s a really great sketch.

Thanks, fewz. :)

P.S. The original of that sketch, and others of the Bushes, were sent to them at The White House. :)

So I'm not the only one with that problem. My problem is that I can't retouch on the computer very well. I sketched a profile of my wife in 1964 while she was watching TV. Recently I scanned it in but it is so badly smudged from being in an album for 40 plus years that I haven't been able to clean it up.
