Can you draw really well?

Does it have to be MS Paint? I don't have MS Paint, but Adobe Photoshop.
Everyone has MS Paint, or the Mac equivalent, I think? It can be any simple painting software, Photoshop is fine too, as long as you don't use any advanced tools.

haha, in that case, I will sit out! I don't know how to be simple in Photoshop since I use it every day for work!

Oh please don't! Just use the pencil or pen tool in Photoshop and draw something using the colors. You can vary the size of the brushes, but stick to simple brushes and you should be ok.

I decided to give it a try myself, just to see how difficult it would be.

This is me, working on TCS, with Gezer between me and the keyboard. No wonder I end my work day with pain in the back of my neck...


ETA: Looking at this, I have to say - 1. I wish I were this thin 
 2. I don't know why I have this evil grin in the picture 
 and 3. I swear my pants cover my behind when I'm working, not sure how that happened in the picture

This one might not count as I did it YEARS ago for my niece. It's titled 'eows' because that's what she used to call my two 'girls' when she was very little.  Paint was easier in those days as I had a desk top and mouse rather than a laptop and mouse-pad.  The cats weren't mine, they were just what I mananged to draw.


Will see what I can come up with using basic paint and a mouse-pad.

I was looking at some of the pictures I've done using my pc paint box today and you can be really creative using this medium

Think I'm going to entre some of Tippi and Tallulah just need to get creative .

Here are a few from my collection I've done over the years

Not sure about this yet but I thought I might do Tippi and Tallulah as some kind of winged Super Cats

It needs a lot more work before it's finished , but I think I like the idea of Super Cats

Wonderful drawing! I love how you captured the tail. 
 I'm not experienced with MS Paint, but I'll try putting something together tonight.
