Thanks Lemorris.
It's all drawn in a vector program, so there's no "selecting and filling" like with PS.
All drawing (strokes & fills) is done using either the "Freehand" pen or "B-Spline" tools.
I do the line art on the top layer using differring types and sizes of "strokes," but no fills.
Then below that layer, I draw "solid" fill objects without bounding strokes.
Depending on the colors and detailing, there can be 10 to 20 layers of color fills stacked beneath the line work.
Also, if I need to adding white or color strokes, those stroke layers will be stacked just above or below the black strokes.
I'm sure it might be simpler to fill colors using a bitmap program like PS, but still haven't ever got comfortable using it--each year I dive into one of your, or Jeri C's,
tutorials to give it another try, but just never seems as easy as staying with Expression 3.
Here's the two layers used for the AMX:

Blip, I totally get it. Ya know what ya know. U produce amazing renderings with the Expression 3 that suits u. Im a Ms Paint and Paintshop pro user from way back. Thats what im most comfortable using. 75% of my digital stuff prep and editing are those two. Cool AMX BTW.

Thanks GB--we each seem to find the tools that work best for our individual styles.
Hope things are going smoother for you and family, and that you're finding time to doodle a little bit.
