Thats not too bad considering it was drawn in paint-paint sucks!

Yeah, he he... Paint's hideous for art. I think it's good for pixel art and that's it.

Not half bad considering the tools.

Depends on whether he's got a scanner, doesn't it? If not he can draw all he likes, but can't post anything.

A sad state of affairs, anyone remember a couple of months ago before i got my scanner working and i was posting digital photos of my drawings.

Sad, very sad :-(

well, I used a program called xfig, and I think it's worse then paint. and I have a scanner, but it doesn't work for the computer I use. :cry:

If you're interested, there are quite a few graphics programs about that'll be much better for mouse or tablet drawing, and several are free.

I swear by Artweaver myself, it's actually a beta program, but it's really well developed, and the programmer's continually working on upgrades. I mostly use it for digital colouring, but I've done some complete paintings with it, too. And it works as an image editor, too, so can still use it for your cropping and resizing.

I also know quite a few people who prefer GIMP. Personally I don't get on with the interface, but a lot of people who do use it won't use anything else now.
