trying out Lascaux Sketch...
drawing with chibipaint is much more enjoyable, but chibi doesn't have the animation feature :/

what i like in Lascaux Sketch:
- it has the magic wand tool for selecting stuff
~~- it has animations~~
- it has a HSL color palette (a big problem i have with shi-painter, is that i must select colors by sliding the RGB sliders :(
and what i don't like:
- the line tool produces stray lines over the screen (and some of the artifacts are permanent)
- if you try to pick a color, and on the layer that is currently selected that pixel happens to be transparent, it changes your brush to the eraser tool instead.. its very annoying when im trying to paint on a layer above. i basically have to paint on one layer all the time... :(
- you cannot assign pressure sensitivity to opacity, you can assign it to spacing and that helps a little, but its not the same :(
- this might just be me not knowing how to use the program. But while i was painting this, my brush would frequently stop making any marks. sometimes i could draw inside a rectangular area, but there wasn't the marching ants to indicate you have selected something like when i use the select tool. i tried ctrl-z but that didn't help, but ctrl-d did enable me to draw again. weird.. :/

An interesting tidbit of information Mursku and BMW, if I ever get another chance to draw on this site then maybe I can figure out what you are talking about, lol.

Why can't you draw here now Tumbling?

marcello (Mar 2, 2010)

..now the another deal breaker; not being able to pick colors from the overall image, but only from the layer that is currently being selected. <------- actually, this is not correct, it does pick colors from the overall image, not the current layer. it will switch to eraser, if the particular layer is transparent at that point, but the color is the overall. you can hit the 'A' key to switch back to the brush

I also constantly pick colors from the canvas as I work, but I admit I have no idea how pressure sensitivity works in Lascaux, so no, I don't really understand. :p Anyway, if Lascaux bothers you that much just use Chibi, the way I like Lascaux and don't bother with the other apps unless I'm bored.

It's rather interesting to read about how other people work, though.

haalp! revising a drawing

pokey (Feb 20, 2010)

i want to revise a previous version of an image. is this even possible? the image i want to revise is made in shi-painter. i checked it in the wiki -- maybe i overlooked it? (and no, i do not want to click the undo button until i reach the previous saved version. it works, but ... uh... i waste enough time as it is. lol. ) thanks in advance. :)

this is really good, both the original photo and your interpretation of it.

Flubbles (Feb 16, 2010)

I agree, it's a good draw.

shults (Feb 17, 2010)

The original's quite dull, actually. I like your version better.

Suntan (Feb 17, 2010)

I'm enjoying all of your landscapes.

there's no 'out of space' any more. and Hello

pandabarrie (Jan 27, 2010)

The message says java.lang.outofmemoryerror: Java heap space
and then I get an error loading.
If that doesnt mean that I'm out of space then IDK what does.

marcello (Jan 27, 2010)

It means your computer is out of memory. Or more accurately, that Java is out of memory.

Shipainter problems.

Akago (Jan 16, 2010)

I'm having trouble with Shi-painter. It loads just fine and I can draw with the pencil, but if I switch to another tool, it stops displaying on the work area, even when I get back to the pencil. I know it's still drawing because I can look at the preview with the layers and it shows the scribbles. I've made sure Java is up to date, so I don't think it's that, and thus far I haven't had the same problem with the other applets. Any suggestions?

It's a good film, i paused the film at this point for the reference.

marcello (Jan 21, 2010)

looks like a horribly encoded/compressed video. are you watching it on youtube? :-)

Suntan (Jan 21, 2010)

I think I remember someone else drawing from the movie and saying that it was a good one.
