Serious MS Paint Skills...

This guy is pretty unbelievable! Who'da thunk one could create such 'art' with MS Paint???

LOL, it would suck to use the fill tool and discover your lines were not contiguous.

Great!

You take a picture of your car, print it on thin paper (on a inkjet printer), tape the paper over drawing tablet, do an free-hand outline. Then it's a matter of fitting the lines (might take a while, easy to cut out from the video trough editing) and doing bucket-fills.

Let him do it on a piece of paper, directly from the memory and I'll be really impressed

I wonder if he used a stylus and electronic pad (the name has slipped me) do to that or if it was freehanded with a mouse.

Whether or not he traced the outline, the guy is an artist. Look at how he did the chrome & shading. Neat stuff!

it ain't the tool, it's the person using it.

The skill and knowledge to do that part does not quite match up with the car design it's self.

Something is weird.

He definitly use a sylus/pad to make it. The shading effects are also common-use techniques as well.

MSPaint/MacPaint were pretty powerful programs for their time, but look at what can be done today http://www.maxon.net/pages/gallery/gallery_8.html

In the future, two virtual gloves/goggles combined with trained vocal presets(i.e. "draw a cylinder, make it longer, place on a green plane, move light source 20 more degrees towards me" etc...) will make anyone a Picaso.

Why would you put that kind of time and effort to draw a booger-green POS Honda ricer?
