A.C. Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I had an idea to liven up Mondays. It's a drawing compo. Every Monday (if it's popular - if not I won't do it again) I'll post a topic giving that day's challenge. I want you to fire up MSpaint on your PC and draw me a picture. Make them no bigger than 400 x 500 pixels and host them on http://www.imageshack.us then post them here. I'll judge them and award some sort of virtual biscuit to the winner. Vague rule: no C&P photos or anything - just use the pen/shape/line and spray can tools on MSpaint. So, this week's subject: I want to see a picture of A LOBSTER! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd be all up for this but work has no MSPaint and I am off out to my mate's house tonight to watch No Way Out. No I have no idea why, either!

A.C. Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Here's the big version of Amy's very cute effort: http://img160.exs.cx/img160/3072/lobster0da.jpg (to make it the big version just take out the "th" that imagshack puts at the end of the filename) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I hate the both of you. I can't fathom out how to draw freehand on Powerpoint. My brush icon is dead so no clicky. Bah. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.C. Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 In powerpoint you can click on "autoshapes" on the drawing toolbar and you can pick the squiggly line icon to draw freehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now then - how do I do colour? It has filled in some areas a revolting aquamarine and I want loster pink. How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.C. Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Standard autoshapes? You can then use the fill tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
