Well, I 'get' the drawing part, although I'm very much a beginner at drawing period. It's more of how to use the pen. I was suprised that the eraser didn't erase (although that makes sense, I guess... I have to activate the tool.) It's getting used to that the 'context' of the pen is different than the mouse, so color selections have to be made with the pen. (I'm using GIMP 2.4). Anyway, just noob type stuff, I'm sure.

Thanks!
