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?

..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.

This is truly the coolness if I ever saw it...

Yep, very cool

Dinosaur family? Yeah, it's sad. They're getting their revenge, though. That's how I like to think of how our use of fossil fuels is destroying our delicate atmosphere and ultimately our planet's ability to sustain life or at least human life: The Revenge of the Dinosaurs.

There hasn't been an entry on this board in over three months. Maybe it's time to do some Bastard promoting. I'd vote but I know how much Marcello hates the notion of anything democratic taking place in his oligarchy. smiley face

There's not enough bastards to draw on there, I'd vote aswell but it's not going to happen.

Is it me, or is it funny that someone is trying to tell the maker of a program how his own program works?

elly (Mar 2, 2010)

Sunny, I'm impressed with your memory!!! I had a terrible monitor some time ago.....couldn't see half the stuff others were seeing (till I got my mac and went back to look thru my old draws... O_O) ewwww...lol! Thanks again my friend!

Originally I did this picture as a sketch for an art class, then it made it onto scratchboard, but I really wanted to do it in colour so here it is :) Its not as good as it could be, but if I mess with it anymore, I'll probably screw it up...
