"The Sign": A Charcoal Experiment
I was going over some of my old charcoal drawings from college, when I started thinking about how some renaissance artists painted over charcoal to get better contrast between the lights and darks in their pieces. I thought to myself, "what would my charcoal drawings look like in color?" So, I whipped out my Mac and fired up Pixelmator... and voici! I think that the hand colors turned out pretty nice.

very cool! Is Pixelmator like photoshop but just for retouching up images?
From what I've seen, Pixelmator is like a simplified Photoshop. In my opinion, it has a better brush tool, right out of the box, than Photoshop does. As a whole, Pixelmator has a similar interface and is also a little more user friendly--which is pretty impressive, considering it hasn't been around very long.
Pixelmator can also import photoshop psd files, brushes, patterns, and stamps. It's pretty cool.
