I thought I would have a play around in paint, when I was younger I used to paint in acrylics or plain old pencil and paper. I have never tried using paint so forgive me if these are very basic.

O:!!! KAZ IS AN ARTISTE!! :3!!! Did you use good old handy MS Paint for these? :3? They're so wonderful to see! I especially like that first one, a complete scenery picture in paint is really something to see, I like the figures and that skkyyy O_O I can't even get clouds looking that good with some fancy tools in Open Canvas lol. And I love the way you shaded the shirt in the bottom picture :3 It's super well shaded, the folds and everything is just awesome! Now that we know you're an artist we will be anxiously waiting for updates >=D

Hey! I like this stuff. Is that the spray paint tool in paint? I didn't ever think of using it to try to get results like that. Very nice shading in general on everything.
Gotta go now but I might have more to say later.

Yes it is the spray tool, very Renoir looking effect, but it is good for foliage and clouds.

Yeah I like the first one the best. I don't know why. Maybe it feels more "dynamic" or something?

Definitely the first one, in my opinion, is best. The 2nd one the island(?) seems really isolated, the 3rd one is very... solid/plain. But like Hero had said, the first one feels more "dynamic", more "alive" in a way. I especially like the way the clothes flow behind her very naturally.

Draft one is the best I think. I shows more clarity.
You seem to be pretty good in a traditional sense. One thing to remember, though, is that the eye is NOT a football D: If you are trying to draw more realistic eyes then try to look at the eye a little more closely. Eyelashes would not come directly from the eye itself, but from a rim on the lids.
For the first picture you posted in the thread, I think it may be better if you strengthened or sharpened some areas, or maybe add in more detail to the closer objects than the farther objects. I believe it would improve the sense of depth it's meant to create. Also, I don't recommend using pure black. The effect it has flattens out the image.

Okay seriously what the hell is this thing?
I am a traditional artist yes, I think Santa pointed out that I am not into cartoon or modern type art. Using the computer is a whole new idea for me and I suppose I tried to emulate what I would have done with painting in acrylics.
I am a a Renoir fan so that why the first one is very much impressionist style, however I could play with it and see how it would look with more sharper edges.
As for the black, yes I am a great fan of dark colours I can perhaps break it up a little.
The eye you are right needs some work, it needs an eye socket and lid I feel.
I've actually been practicing the western style also, Draft 1 reminds me of all those old school sierra adventure games for some reason. I like it >: D

Jolly good show. I haven't seen anybody use MS Paint like that before and the effect is awesome. I'd love to see what you can do with Photoshop and a tablet. Keep it up!
