I've wanted to participate for awhile now. I found just the right opportunity when I visited Elizabeth Dulemba's blog. She had drawn a birthday cake in honor of her 40th and asked for others to color it if they'd like to. I wanted to try out some new watercolor brushes in Photoshop. I don't usually paint on the computer, but wanted to try. My 6 year old, Josh, wanted to help. He'd never used a Wacom tablet or Photoshop before. He picked the colors and painted. I showed him how to shade and highlight. Sometimes he agreed with me, sometimes not. He'll be an art director someday, I'm sure.
