Send me a note, and I can email a file. I'm not particularly adept at using a lot of the tools yet, so mostly just transform my grids and then print them out. And then I drop them on a lightbox and draw everything on top by hand. I can do some work on buildings and all in Photoshop, but I need work on those skills. In future, I will construct my backgrounds on computer and just drop figures on top. I intend to finish ADS by hand, but I don't know if I will do other work by hand in future. I'll do private work by hand, but there's just no way to beat the speed and finish of the computer for published work. I'm a convert.
