When I first started doing digital art, everything was done in MS Paint. if it was drawing, I just used the paint bucket to do a make shift shading. Since this was years ago ( I was using Win98, and it was still new at the time) its safe to assume that it was fairly time consuming. So mostly I just made sprite hoaxes and the like.

Well, as time moved on, I got a hold of Illustrator and Photoshop, so I could make smooth lines and color them goo too; MS Paint became very obsolete! And then I got my tablet, and so I don't even use Illustrator that often anymore (only when I want lines so super sharp that your finger will bleed if you touch them).

At the moment I'm working on a picture that has been taking me all day up until now, and probably will take me just a few more days. I decided to take a break, and so I went looking through some old pictures to reminisce. The scroll button on my mouse keeps trying to right click, so I accidentally clicked "edit" and it opened Paint. I figured that, since I had my tablet now, drawing would be easier. The end result of that thought process led me here!

This (to me) shows how far I've come since those older days, as well as pays homage to how I started off. I hope other artists get inspired by this to open up MS Paint and just fool around!
