I've seen more than one, but I won't name them for the same reason I find the comments here sickening. It's art, a form of expression. If you don't like it, tell the artist what areas to improve and encourage them. A few people commented that nipples were needed, and one mentioned a scanner, but that's it. Nothing about form, style, better tools, practicing methods, etc. Just "it sucks" and "its bad". Would you ever want to draw again if that was the response you got?

It's simple enough to get better at drawing... you just draw more.... there is no real secret and I figured that he heard enough of the truth from other people if he put up a messege saying that he doesn't want any critiquing....... he is drawing more so he is getting better but right now he isn't all that great....

And besides... it's good to have standards... thats how you get better things. ^_^

I think I may have been a bit harsh. I don't think that this artist would have done any better if he owned the entire Adobe Suite and a high-end graphics tablet. However, MS Paint lowers the bar for entry so far that it's associated with absolute rubbish.

For counterexamples, see http://diamonster.deviantart.com/art/powerdraw-17908194, http://haha.nu/amazing/sport-car-dra...with-ms-paint/, Matsu-Sensei, woot, etc. etc. etc...

You do have some good points there. I agree that any harsh response would make a artist lose his ability to continue drawing, but to most people I know it wouldn't do really anything.

Also to the above statement. I agree that MS paint is the lowest drawing tool to use to make art and lots of other programs are better. Its just that MS paint is there when they purchase a computer so they just use it. Now for your examples, they are really amazing and that just proves that any good artist can take a basic program and make something extrodinary.
