Ms Paint is crappy if you don't experiment with creativity. This Slideshow has 6 pictures I made in Ms Paint. Actually, I show 2 each of 3 different designs I have made.

While all them hifalutin programs such as photoshop are the industry standard, and I enjoy the industry standard, I find outlining in MS paint incredibly handy. I have even drawn manga in Paint (it isnt real good, though I attribute that to my lack of artistic talent.) the Bezier curve tool is a wonderful friend when drawing manga.

as the old maxim goes: it is a poor craftsman who blames the quality of his tools.

MS Paint is good enough for many people. But even the "cool" things you did would take half a second to do in Photoshop.

True, but I like to show how far you can go with a free program that only has 8 tools :D
