Put your mind in the gutter and you will understand what my toes are supposed to resemble.

Wow. I cannot believe people actually put this much time and effort into MS paint art. It's good stuff though. Anyway, I'll give it a shot.

If we're voting, then: Xaq 1up Shift

Otherwise I send out

Spoiler for Arm Tumor:

(Hurray for tablets)

Okay...here we go:

1. LMFAO. I mean, here I am, I see all this amazing shit that people did, and I scroll down and see this guy. I mean. That's funny as hell.

2. WTF.

Whatever works for everyone else. If we can get some good competition going though, maybe we can make it a more formal affair. It might encourage people to put out some awesome pictures.

That is quite the cape, MOS. I like that the perspective sort of goes from a top down towards the top of the picture, and morphs into a sideview towards the bottom. Don't know if that was intentional or not, but it looks good.

Here's one of mine that plays with perspective too.

Thanks, Xaq! I wish I could say it was fully intentional, but perspective is the biggest thing I need to work on, honestly. I really don't draw much, though I'd like to get better at it. Past instances have shown me that I have the potential, but finding the time to practice and maybe take a few classes is problematic. This thread is helping to provide some motivation to improve, though, so thank you for that!

That's a sweet pic, too, love what you did with it!

I'll post something else up in a bit. Please feel free to critique anything I post, if Xaq doesn't mind.

Hmm, the end of a penis is called a bell.

I learned something today.

Thanks for the link, Slash. I downloaded it but I still lack even an inkling of talent.
My 13 year old daughter will love it though. She's the artist of the family.

Something I started for this thread enthusiastically and pruned until I had a face and a hand - and now will never finish, here's what I started.



(duh on tablet use)

thats awsome cloud

How do you guys get your mouse movements so stead to create such works? No matter how steady my hand is, my cursor moves off in random directions every now and then screwing it up. Dang optical mice :/

Sometimes, I don't. Just like real sketching, often times I'll just scribble on an outline and then erase down to the line I really want. The best part about paint is that its endlessly alterable and in the end it will look like you drew it perfectly on your first try.

well, most of them used a graphics tablet, not a mouse, which is basically like using a pen/pencil

It's not that easy, there is a bit of a learning curve with using a tablet. Easier than a mouse, not nearly as easy as a pencil until you've practiced with it.

*misses her wacom*

Quick 20min sketch of my dog, Hank. I'll always prefer pencils. ;_;

thats amazing man, i just dont get how people can get so good at that

A tablet and years of drawing practice, haha. I do much better with pencils. I haven't used my tablet in so long for a detailed sketch like that.

It's more than that I've got a tablet, I've spent 20 years drawing. You've got what they call skillllllllllll

I don't like calling it skill or a gift. It makes me feel like I haven't worked hard to get where I am today, that it was all just talent. ):
But I would agree that I was born with an affinity to the arts.

Wait are colors allowed?

no thats the exact reason everyone else has some form of color in their picture.

I call it A Dissertation on The Nature of Racism, And Analysis of The Flaws Inherent in The Current Schooling System.

I also call it the finest in modern art. Because it's so good.
