I dabble a bit in the art, I have been doing it for a while now off and on. I try and find different methods to improve but practice is the best method IMO. I also use a mac, and 1 shot paint and reduce the paint with acetone or mineral spirits, helps when your pulling the brush and gives you more even lines and strokes. Check this web site out www.pinheadlounge.com . Here is a pic of my Fulmer that I went crazy on. I still need a lot of practice...

Man, I thought I was the only one who this "bug" recently struck... Been doodling for a while and picked up some brushes a few weeks ago. I am using a mack 10-00 that I trimmed a bit for more sturdiness....Would love to follow this thread and see a bunch of guys post their own doodles and attempts up. As a matter of fact, lemme hop on my phone and I'll throw a few pics up of what ive been working on....

Oh man, I'll totally go down to Home Cheapo and grab a black plexi-glass panel to start a panel swap! Just waiting on my Mack "the Virus" scrolling brush...should be easier to do the little details.
