Can you do this?

It's fun to watch!

That's amazing! :)

w000t! I see it, but I can't believe it .. :P

Now all its needs is a person with an afro-coup and a soothing voice talking about happy little colors, happy little windows, happy little tires etc. :P

That's really good. I shall make a banana.

Can I do that? Of course I can! I tend to whip up a car or two in MS paint whenever I take a short respite from programming compilers and air traffic control systems.

;P

I wasn't overly impressed, TBH. It's obviously done by a good artist using a graphics tablet - the fact it's using MS Paint doesn't seem relevant. A good artist never blames his/her tools.

And those tyres... they are SERIOUSLY lo-profile!

I think you're in your right to blame your tool if its MS Paint.
Though, its obvious that this is a good artist, you can see how he struggled with the tool in various places :)

Am I the only one who knows you're talking about Bob Ross? Genius artist. Pity he died. :/

thanks I enjoyed that.

nice to see an artist at work.

I don't think I blinked once watching that, my eyes sting now! Very impressed though

The more I create, the more I think that's untrue. Having a
small barrier between what's in your mind and what you can
create is pretty important.

Let's take it one step further than MSPaint: You could
technically draw an image via DATA blocks, right?

DATA 000, 010, 060, 000, 055, 100, 000, 010, 012, 010, 065

Where each number indicates an indexed colour (a la QBasic)
Sure you could draw an amazing image this way, but using
Photoshop 7 would allow you to express yourself much easier.
Tools matter. That's why you all use Blitz to program and
not assembly.

I mean, c'mon. Am I right or am I right.

While I generally agree with that statement -- MS Paint is not a tool, it's a joke.

OK, what I said about not blaming tools was just a throw away comment, really, but that's a pretty crass analogy. :)

What I meant was that he's only using very basic tools to draw - cos that's all MS Paint has - but, I don't see how using the same tools in PSP, or whatever high-end art app you care to mention, would make the process much easier. That's why I don't see the fact it was done in MS Paint is particularly relevant.

The discussion about these tools is only relevant when it comes to lack of a certain important feature in tool A compared to tool B. If both tool A and B have the same feauture for a certain process then there's no argueing.

I miss Bob. He helped a lot of my former students get much happier with art. Simple success. Happy success...

MS Paint bites! Photoshop blowz!

PSP 9 rulez for d toolz! (and COREL 12 ain't bad niether!!!)

11 is out !

You don't see how drawing in Photoshop is easier than
drawing in MSPaint? C'mon, you're joking. In this
particular example, consider: Layers, brush-attribute
control, colour management, masks ... man I could go on forever.

It is much, MUCH easier to create something in PS as
opposed to MSPaint. I will say again, tools matter. Unless:


I can mostly agree with that.

btw, I heard there's going to be Bob Ross software for the Wii .. how's that? :P

Won't that just be the most awesomest game ever made? Seriously,
if it's well executed, I might hold it in as high regard as the
original MarioPaint. Time will tell!
