doing lineart in mspaint is the perfect middle ground between the problems that arise from the infinite maleability of digital art (stressful) and the permanence of traditional art (stressful). the simple act of doing my lines in ms paint has made art faster, more fun, & way less daunting. i kind of wish more complex art programs had a custom layer cap you could set for a file or something

#m #if there isn't a physical limitation on layers (such as not having them whatsoever) i cannot manage my layers even if i set out to draw on #one layer i reflexively make a new layer every time i draw a new line basically because i hate not having every single iteration of #a drawing recorded in case i change my mind #This is much more practical if i am forced to just save the iterations as flat pngs. thank you ms paint #my wonderful neurosis #i do like trad art but it requires a level of intention & constantly thinking every choice you make through if you're actually #doing a finished piece and not just fucking around that is So exhausting.
