#my art program jounery was ms paint -> sai -> firealpaca -> medibang -> infinite painter -> krita -> clip for like 2 weeks -> back to krita

My most controversial opinion is that MSpaint is a fine art program. I started drawing more in it intentionally out of spite because I kept seeing people just completely trash it and guess I get it it doesn't have a billion layer modes or pens or even layers itself but it's not for that. It's not truly for digital art in the modern day as we know it I think. I think it's for painting. And I think it's pretty good at painting. The couple of paintings that I've done in it I was very impressed by the pen control and textures of the paint brushes... I also think it's very good at pixel art! Actual little sprites!! And as someone who has made cleanlined colored full bodies in it, yeah its a fucking pain in the ass. But I think I like drawing an MS paint for the same reason I like making comics in sketchbooks smaller than my hand. I think it's a perfectly fine program for what it is! It's made for paintings and sprites and scribbly one pixel brush sized vent art when nothing else feels good but the scratch against the graphics tablet like tearing up a paper with a mechanical pencil
