I do remember

And then one if the lines wasn't painted all the way through and suddenly your whole image was Olive green

Is this a universal experience from the time period. How did it start. Nobody told me to do this. I just did.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!

I used to do this with Kid Pix on DOS back in the day. It was like paint but with sound effects lol.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

Hold on, hold on hear me out.....

Kid Pix on the Mac

Wow, this is a moldy meme. Anyone go to the cool website?

Oh my, I'm not even 18 years old but i sooo did this lol

It was always Oregon Trail or Carmen San Diego for me.

I remember in early middle school doing this incomputerlabe after finishing our work.

Sometimes the teacher would let us print it out 😁

I'm only 18 and I remember.

I liked dragging a selection box on the desktop and seeing how thin of a line I could turn it into. When it was perfect the line would dissapear and just have one pixel on the top and bottom. It was also fun to draw the smallest possible box around random things on the desktop wallpaper. I did that with the windows 7 stock wallpaper a lot.

My 5 year old has done this a couple of times as well - I just has to adjust my semi-crazy mouse speed to her. :) I even saved the pics.

Another thing I distinctly remember is watching my das defragmentating the drive. I know that I at the same time hated it because it meant that we could not play games, but it was also strangely mesmerizing...

Holy fuck, this is eerily accurate!

This was pretty much every computer class.

I remember drawing the Death Star and lots of TIE Fighters. One version of paint had this line tool that produced the hyperspace lines effect. Nowadays, I dabble with pixel art in Aseprite.

Yes, but for some reason I would only use straight lines.

I still occasionally do this if I am on the phone with someone and need something to do with my hands that doesn't take much brain power or make any noise.

Another thing I loved doing was doing a single color fill, then zipping the mouse around with the free-form selection and deleting the selection.

For me, it was Kid Pix and Claris Works.

Also, does anyone remember this game (it was included in Windows 95)?

Sell it. This looks like it's worth millions, lol

And now i think i was Picasso

'Twas a work of art!

Deluxe Paint 4 on the Amiga for the win

Digital art at its simplest

I'd draw a smiley face, select it, hold shift (iirc, might've been ctrl), and drag it around to create a "snake".

Something fun to do is scribble like that and look for shapes or objects within the mess and erease it so whatever you saw is clear to see

Wingdings was how I rolled.

It was always Oregon Trail or Carmen San Diego for me.

I do remember. I used to fill the background with a basic color and then grabbed the free-form selection tool. I'd move my mouse around like crazy to make this shapes and then cut it out. But sometimes, my old Pentium II PC would freak out for a sec if the selection was too wild. Fun times.

I'm not retarded, so no, I haven't.

I was doing actual art off-PC, the computer was for internet and gaming. MSPaint was freaking USELESS.
