Serif Draw Plus 8

[masque]

This is a quick sketch produced using the new Serif DrawPlus 8 vector painting application.
The original drawing of the bear in the plane was produced sometime ago in Xara which I exported a line version of as a PDF. This was opened in DP8 and sketched over, fairly incompetently, using a too wide a range of brush strokes, ranging from pen through oil paint too charcoal to find out what they looked like.
I have to say, being a fan of Serif, that the application is fast, stable and very, very comprehensive in the in the range of facilities it has to offer, not the least being that it can import and edit PDF files, just like PagePlus.
