Happy Halloween!
In the spirit of Halloween (with no pun intended) I created Uncle Ned rising from the grave, in charcoal on toned Strathmore.
Portfolio Sketchbook
In this video I display a portfolio that I use to store my loose sheets in. I use it as a sketch book more than it's original design. These portfolio books come in various sizes and can be found on Amazon or in any major arts and crafts stores.

XnView - Image Editor
This is a free open-source image editor that I have used for a long time. It works on all the major platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac) and is very light weight consuming very little resources. XnView will not replace Painter or Photoshop but can be used for quick editing, batch editing and converting along with many other features.
XnView can be download from http://www.xnview.com/en/
In this short tutorial I cover how I use XnView, which is mainly to browse and organize my images and copy / cut thumbnails from full page scans allowing me to keep what I like.

Caveman
Another one from my travel sketchbook. he started out as a doodle and morphed into a rough design sketch. As my normal workflow lately; I started this with my Pentel Mechanical pencil and then added value with Charcoal at a later date.
Cleaning a Sketch with Corel Painter
I thought it would be beneficial to show how I clean up sketches before posting to my Blog. Here I used my Caveman sketch [from my 5x7 sketchbook] as an example in Corel Painter. One can also use Photoshop or a free painting suites such as Krita to accomplish the same.
