Real bored, dumping off "art."

Just bits and pieces as I get it all together.

You probably won't enjoy but, who cares, it's not like you're paying for it or something.

20 minutes in MS paint?
Big no-no.

Don't use MS paint unless you know what you're doing. Otherwise, it just looks sloppy and hinders rather than helps.

I agree, a successful drawing in MS paint takes some skill and time, try and get flash or photoshop or something of sorts that is not Ms-Paint.

I know this great program called "pencil and paper" It's not too compatible with computers though. You have to buy a little program called "scanner".

the good thing about this program is that it gives you extreme control over your pencil strokes. The only minus perhaps is the fact that it is so minimalistic, so you can't cover up your mistakes so easily.

Another mediocre sketch

Better than what I could do in paint.

Used an interesting effect in an online program,
I think it's kinda cool.

I'll keep screwing around with it until I find it useful

Muro, it looks like.
But it doesnt look good. Better than MSPaint, but still.
If i were you, I'd take the pencil and paper advice. You'd be surprised at the good it would do you. However, you will need a scanner or camera (scanner is much more recommended). If you don't happen to own one, your school/work will most likely have one. Use it!

Alright, thanks for the advice.

I guess I'll just use a digital camera to "scan" the image onto the computer when I'm done drawing.

Hey peoples, look...! I cant stand it when guys blam MS paint. Sure, it's pixel art and I can understand an aversion to such. But it can be cool. I used to use it before I found Paint.net

It is amazing. I recommended it with my life. Of course, now I have Adobe Illustrator, but I still use Paint.net on occasion. Mostly for editing now though.

Thought I'd post one of my better MS Paint drawings from way back when I didn't know better things in life existed.

Alright, I learned my lesson, I'll upgrade my software and stick to better drawing principals.
Sheesh, I was just practicing was all.

No worries mate, practice makes perfect! I wish you luck!
