...only in ms paint, there is no ability to layer,to change modes (blending), just to name two things. Have you ever seen a *crayon artist*? Crayons, those wax based color sticks many of us enjoyed as children. Well, there are many grown ups who have continued using them , this gentleman is one....
http://www.themastercrayonartist.biz/ ... In a way I view ms paint as a box of crayons, if you know how to use them, you can do most anything with them.

What he did was great in MS paint, I couldn't do it, and I also saw his crayon art. Imagine what he could do with Photoshop...

Yea I could manage it in Photoshop, but that was up and beyond the call of duty ::

And yes, at one point I did think MS Paint as useless. 'Till I watched that clip, that is

i think it's not the tool who made the creation good or not but the creator
If you have only Paint you can like this guy learn and improve to get this awesome talent
and can make wonderful things. Same if you have only PS7 or whatever you have like software and whatever you want to do... IF you want really make something and improve yourself i think you can

All graphics programs are only as good as their user.

I have seen absolute CRAP created by Photoshop, many a time.

There's a few people out there who actually have SKILLS.....above and beyond reading a 'RTFM'....

This is unbelieveable! It looks so scary when watching it ten times faster than the original time!

Thanks for the link!

That was pretty damn cool...but thats paints big claim to fame...artist who show off drawing something you wouldnt expect you could,... with it. If the guy spent 2 and a half hours doing that in PS,nobody would have been impressed...even tho the resulting art would have been much better.You also dont see a full resolution final...bet it wasnt too impressive.  
Love watching drawings go fast like that...almost like animation. 
Sorry Webgizmos...if you have PS...there are no good reasons to open paint.

Spoken like a true PS pro! If I knew what you did with PS I'd put you out of business! But I'm just tinkering here.

If a person can truly draw...say like with a pencil or pen and ink...MS Paint should be more than adequate.It may not be as fun, but should get the job done.
I consider a graphics tablet far more important than any software, as that allows me to hold a pen like tool as opposed to a mouse.

MS Paint may be able to accomplish art but, depending on ones goals, it may not be the best tool.

Dude I have to get myself a touch tablet for my art. The mouse really has its limitations.

Thanks Enigma!! That was so cool! I can't believe it only took him two and a half hours, with all of the blending and background detail. Thanks for sharing this!
