Here's another fun, little thing I did in MS paint, real quick. Per usual, saving it as a Jpeg produced a crappy quality, but it mushed the clouds pretty nicely, which kind of inspires me to find some sort of happy accident dynamic in MS paint. haha

I love happy accidents and, even more than that, getting a handle for them. In any case, this is more of the same - a fun little color exercise in MS paint. I like how this one came out. My goals with MS paint are as of right now no more than a sketchbook device.


Take care,

So, here's another MS paint bit. I decided to head over to a website called illustrationfriday. Basically, it's a site that offers fun, weekly assignments to just play around with, which is a nice place to get some exercise.

This week was "fortune", apparently. Thanks for looking.


Take care,

I made this a while ago on Artpad. It took me a while to get a free, effective screen capture program. It still came out kind of crappy in quality, but I still enjoy it.


Take care,

I've always liked MS paint. I hate the way that it makes Jpegs look like Jpegs, but I've always liked the quickness of it. I work quick. I like seeing the colors and shapes fast - quick. Sorry for the crappy quality, nonetheless, but it is MS paint.

I used it a lot, when I was younger. I remember myself and my brother doing this little, amazing, crappy, intensive, campy comic book drawings in the program, back when it was revolutionary and altogether simple and cruddy. You know the type - bad proportions, unsure of any medium or handling, etc. etc. Between then and now, though, has been dominated by Photoshop. It's nice to get back to the quickness of Paint.

You'll probably end up seeing more of these quick things. I like how it came out. The evolution of the piece was nice, too - it changed a lot, as you can probably tell.


Take care,

Andrew
