  Slow drawing and quick paintingMay 24, 2011 4:49 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Oh man, new record for slow drawing on this page, I think! Whew.
 
Over the weekend on the other hand I painted a quick sloppy and colorful version of Selenis, just playing around with a free painting program called Artrage Starter Edition. Click on this cropped detail to see the full thing in the gallery (it's big!):

Man, that program takes me back to the ol' college days, sloshing around oil paint and thinner in a rickety little garret on the third floor of Lorado Taft's (now) 100-year-old studio building on the south side of Chicago, in winter. Those were the days! Of sorts.
 
Anyway although you can't adjust the simulated paint thinner and stuff like that in this free 10 MB version of Artrage, it's a really good simulation of oil painting, and just darn fun to play with. Give it a shot!
