[Gimp-user] Creating more natural/traditional appearance effects?

I've been looking, but haven't really found anything definitive on this, so I'm going to ask everyone here for some advice. I'm working on some illustrations, and am not entirely satisfied with the fact that they look very artificial and computer-generated. Does anyone have any suggestions

If you're creating stuff from scratch, there's nothing like a graphics tablet. I've got a 6x8 Intuos USB, and I've really enjoyed working with it. The pressure sensitivity is good enough that many of the tools draw much like the real thing, just with a perfect eraser and unlimited undo. Yeah--

Well, as I was explaining to someone just yesterday, there is still nothing like a pen, pencil or brush. When I want realistic artwork, I do it by hand. Then digicam or scan it, and then retouch, colour, add text or intensify features with the gimp and my wacom tablent, or ordinary mouse. Yeah--

I dont know how realistic ( or what is even considered realistic) but at gug.sunsite.dk there is an artist Angela Logan who is both a traditional and graphic artist. Her art is amazing and done in her own words ...with a mouse and simple brushes...and smudge tool. You could check it out she also
