I had been looking at a lot of art that was computer-generated, and was wondering how the heck anybody could draw with a mouse. I decided to try that myself. This is the ugly result.

I found out that most people can't really draw with a mouse (much less in Paint), but instead draw their pictures on paper and finish it on the computer using something like Photoshop, or use some fancy and expensive gizmo like a tablet. I decided since I didn't have access to tools like that, I should just stick with traditional art. At least until I got The Gimp a year later.

I haven't completely given up on Paint, though. I have figured out how to draw a bit more decent using it. But it's still a rare instance that I do. Usually it's when I want to create pixel art, like sprites. I actually find it easier to do basic stuff in Paint than I do in The Gimp, so I only save the more advanced stuff for the latter.
