How about an old C-64 type Tron text adventure!?

I'm absolutely impressed o.O.

Thanks, Jademz! I'm sure people have done better. I'm sure I could have if I used things like the zoom and didn't do the whole thing at screen resolution. But that's kind of what speed drawing is all about... even though mine is only speedy when sped WAY up.

You hear that, Auric?

I really dig that idea!

Sketch would no doubt have many of us glued to our screens as he pumps out his creations.

Yes, I totally remember those early 80's home computer games where you actually see the images draw in rather than just pop up on the screen. It was really cool to watch. The programmers used that method to conserve on disc space. Programming in the coordinates of images rather than storing them dot for dot for dot was a huge space saver back in the day. Compressed image formats were not yet in use. I used to use a program on my Apple //c that allowed me to do just that. Pictures would get drawn, and when you played them back, the computer drew it back at high-speed (as fast as it could with 8-bits and 1MHz). Simple animates were even possible with that kind of graphic approach. I made several back in the day - I'll have to dig those out one of these days.

VRAM Wrote:Nevertheless, I'm officially impressed Todd... What's with all this video production when you're this natural digital artist that should open his own gallery... How 'bout making a tutorial/instructional video showing how I can use Paint in such 'advanced' way? Now, which software did you use to capture all this in an animated gif? I can even see undos and corrections!

Thank you, VRAM! The video production work is my true passion... or at least it was until I kept trying to bite off more than my equipment would allow me to chew (of that makes any sense). The video production process was always an uphill process for me and I had to work my ass off to achieve what the pros can do with their much more powerful tools. Just thinking about the video production process (the fancy stuff I like to make) turns me off now. I've been experimenting with less labor-intensive methods of creative imagery. Photos, manipulated photos, animated GIF's and old-school technology has been my creative sandbox of choice lately. What can be done with a minimal-tech approach? It's been a good creative exercise for me and much less frustrating. And if people don't dig my work - at least each piece didn't take as long.

About using Paint in an advanced way - there's really nothing to that part of it. Paint is Paint. It's all about figuring out how to make the most of the simple color palette, limited paint tools, 3-undo's, and no layers. The beauty of Paint is its simplicity. Work it, rather than fight it. The Paint creations look more impressive because everyone knows how limited it really is. That image in Paint is really cool. Do the same quality image in a professional-grade photo editing application and it just doesn't look so hot anymore.

BTW - I used a simple Windows screen recording application to capture the drawing of it. It was sped up by a factor of 10 and sometimes by a factor of 20 to achieve what it ended up like.

Thanks, xistence. I'd like to see some real artwork from me as well, but I'm really not very good drawing the human form (in realistic proportions or pro-quality cartoon form) without looking directly at an image of one. I'm always amazed when real free-hand artists can just pump out their creations from images they make up in their own mind. They can create new people, characters, etc. from scratch. I sort of can too... but it doesn't look very good (quality) or very original - certainly nothing I'd want to show people.

I've been seriously pondering taking some kind of illustration classes lately. I would love to be able to draw things from scratch - the human form, cloths, animals, etc. I really want to be able to draw from scratch. I already do so-so with non-human and non-animal objects that are not too complex, but I can't draw a believable human or animal to save my life. Not without copying an existing image. I can do very basic cartoon imagery, but not much more... not right now anyway.

I wonder if starting out with a learn to draw book might help. Hmmm...

Great work Todd! You got 'da gift!

Thank you, KiaPurity!

WOW... well done, buddy... Maybe I should try something like that... but it wouldn't look that good...

Very awesome...

I already left you a comment on your site, Todd. But I had to say it again: awesome work, there. You make it look easy.

Thanks, TronFAQ! Saw your comment on my site and responded. BUT forgot to say the all important answer correctly.

How do I make it look so easy?

It's all in the wrists!

I actually went back and edited my response the next day when it dawned on me. I'm a little slow sometimes.

Honestly, the "making it look easy" thing is great big illusion. Anything can be made to look easy when you edit out all the mess-ups and speed it up by a factor of 10x to 20x.

I want to do more. Shall I drop a Clu as to my next Paint subject? he he Actually, that was the original idea for the previous (current?) one, but I changed my mind just a Bit.

You forgot to say "Batman" at the end.

Holy Fraxtog, Batman.

See? That sounds much better.

Than you, I'll take that as a compliment.
