Title: How to draw in Paint
Post by: Dervacumen on July 25, 2012, 05:03:03 pm

 My aunt recently completed her newest in her Abby series of drawings that she likes to fiddle with.  The resolution is a bit lower that the original because she reduced the size by about 25% to fit on her monitor at work.
I love my aunt.  She's incredible.  How do you even do that? :dizzy:

<edit>
She says the Rumanian with the bronze medal was an homage to Nadia Comaneci or perfect '10' fame.

I'm amazed with people who can actually do something with Paint. I can't even crop a photo properly with it.

Yeah, Photoshop sucks for drawing and there are better programs for that.  But it's awesome for painting and design work (imho).

But Paint is surprisingly difficult to work with.  I tried a speedpaint once with it and it was considerably more challenging than working in something like Photoshop, Painter, etc.  I have mad respect for people that produce stunning works with Paint.

I sat next to a guy a few years ago who created flash animations for his blog (instead of actually working :)).  He used paint all day long because that was the only thing install on our machine.  I was blown away with all the work he did with MS Paint.  I wish I still had a link to his site.

But, yeah, that's way awesome.  There's some really great digital art people have been doing in the last decade or so.
