Layers aren't useless in pixel. Infact, I imagine a Layer ability would help alot with element placement and harmony. You say why use a more advanced program for making signatures but I say why not? Especially if it is available completely free of charge. Why use a messy block of charcoal when you have a set of pencils that do the same thing but better?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MSPaint is bottom-barrel. Unless you have a really crap computer, there isn't much reason to use it unless you don't have net access. Then you wouldn't be here in the first place.

well atleast im not recognised for good paint sigs, meh I USE PAINT woot

well for pixels i do use graphics gale which i presume being the more advanced program you speak of?

 

 

 

well yes its faster and such and its got layers but for the rest its all the same.

 

 

 

however layers are not actually needed in pixel art nor would it make much difference if you use them.

 

 

 

and mistakes are easily fixed without them so i dont see the use of them.. that and i dont know how they work :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i find mspaint a bit under-rated tho if you take for granted that it is a key program in a rare yet indulging form of art, i believe it was called utak-something tho im not quite sure, well it sounded japanese.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to each program its own purpose? to each artist his/her own aproach

When I speak of more advanced graphics software.. I typically mean just about anything aside from MSPaint. I haven't seen anything else that was lower.. that even includes Oekaki programs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, there you go again. XP "It isn't needed" True. Having the ability to individually place pixels one by one is all anyone needs for digital art. Nothing else is needed. That doesn't mean that it isn't usefull. About layers... with layers you can keep elements seperate.. like trees and grass.. or people and weapons to hit closer to home. If you find that you don't like the color.. or don't like that element at all you can remove it easily without messing up the dynamics of the whole piece.. or even change it if you so please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Making art in an inferior program like MSPaint when you have no need to just might make your art more impressive. However, when it comes time to buy - it doesn't matter about the process, but the result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Painting by using a single strand of your own hair may make your painting impressive - but not better.

oh yeah it was called Oekaki.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"That doesn't mean that it isn't usefull" well your very right about that.

 

 

 

well yes i guess that all could be very usefull i mean i have found myself disliking certain colors and having re-do them or moving a tree and sometimes a human.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well if i did it for the money i think i would use more techniques and helpfull gadgets(advanced programs) but the truth is im not interested in money at all.

 

 

 

so for me its more about the experience and practice and the creativity but even then you still make a valid point, these layer things could be very usefull if only it was to prevent annoyance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so i cant argue any further here, i stand true to my opinion but my opinion was over-ruled by facts.

 

 

 

so a simple you are right is in place here.

 

 

 

you are right.

paint is ownage...

Paint.
