Anyone tried out this drawing program, ArtRage? I'm curious on your guys' takes on it as I'm always look at alternative ways to draw digitally. I'll post my personal comments on it after I hear some of yours.

My very first. Just trying to figure out all the tools. Looks like this will be fun but, I'll need to take some time to figure out how all this works.

But if the ovals weren't there it wouldn't have reminded me of the spiraley mosquitoe thingy at the drive in, and... I figured it had to be someone else in the Mod Squad that deleted it. On the time thing, though, I really think drawings should be judged first on artistic merit, and then if it totally sucks, look at the time spent, see if more time could have made it better, and then decide whether or not to delete it. I'm sure you already do that most of the time, but I have seen some real junk in here that is just annoying to even scroll past, and this one is interesting. Tea, anyone? :)

That's how it is now, look at the rules.

8 minutes, and then 4 minutes. Someone was just messing around with the different tools and stuff. The only real tangible thing is the mushroom, the rest looks like randomly places ovals (are they there for a reason? if so, what's the reason?). What about the colors? Are they chosen for a reason? I think it's deletable material, but I don't know if I would bother actually deleting it (I didn't). The thing that really bothers me is the neon green squigly lines along the bottom which doesn't help the piece at all.

The rules:

This doesn't mean you can't post 5 or 10 minute sketches, but they have to be good 5 or 10 minute sketches, and they should be mixed with pictures you put more time into. Although there is something to be learned from quick sketches in traditional art, we strongly discourage submitting these sketches.

I don't think it's that great for a quick sketch even for beginner stuff.

As for whether drawings should be judged on artistic merit, I think there's still an acceptable "bottom line" as to what is just spam.

I thought the green squiggly lines at the bottom were grass. The ovals (in my eye) were a clay pot & lid to gather the mushrooms. But then, Dejas my sister so I know how she thinks. :) Or maybe not.

Hey Marcello, I don't know if you've seen this before.. or if anyone else has had this happen and have brought it to your attention. But it was weird, so I thought it was worth tellin' you. I had an unfinished picture in my studio that I decided to just delete. After I deleted, the appearance of 2Draw kinda went wacko. I refreshed twice and it stayed the same. So I closed out my IE windows and reopened 2Draw and it went back to normal. Just thought I'd let ya know. Here's the scr...

Any way of blending a single layer in Lascaux?

DireOnion (Aug 19, 2004)

As in "I can see other layers but my brush only blends with the colors of the active layer".

Hah, Aubrey if you are actually scrolling with your mouse they are moving... oh and thug that racecar dream is hilarious (I have that trying to run dream but it feels like I'm in really fine sand and I'm not getting anywhere).

Childlike_Vampire (Aug 15, 2004)

WoW! This is definitely one of my favorites from you. I love the angle and the contrast especially. And the ambiguous brightness at the end. Hehe, great drawing. :D

kejoco (Aug 16, 2004)

I see exactly what you mean Aubrey, if you scroll up and down it appears as if the walls sway back and forth.
great drawing dba
