hi people,
here is one done with 'gimp',
it's still just as 'not exact' but was done by 'trying' to draw with the mouse and pen tool. perhaps spray can blobs would work better................... or just wait a hundred years untill I can afford a touch tablet :):):)
a vase of roses in the corner...............
well I have to put some thing on here don't I ?  ;)

ah well,     back to the brush and water :):):) .....


hi all.....Just for a break......I am presently in the middle of a portrait.yes still trying :) and a picture of a 'lego' picture for another grandson......

well today I thought about trying 'digital art' :):):)  only 'thought' mind for the best part of the day :)
so looking around 'paint' and 'drawing '  programs I use linux so available is 'gimp' and I also found a copy of **paint written for linux.so I tried that.......
just a quick simple one...........
The Blossom.......
 hahaha............. like I said 'just quick and simple'......... but yes it may have possibilities ;)
I will have to search for digital art and see some more samples.
We got to play eh?
well looking around on google search ...most seems to be done on 'touch type screens with a stylus'  where as this was done with 'spray can' and mouse :):):)
on a normal desktop computer
so to get sharpness etc it would depend on the exactness of your program, the tools and available options for them, and a steady hand on the mouse, perhaps turn down the movement speed ?  ah well back to 'playing' then  :):):)
