Sometimes we just can’t learn something new right? No matter how hard we try there are those moments in life where it just doesn’t work.
Well if you ask Pat Hines, his failure to learn photoshop and illustrate his kids ebook led to something really amazing. He created all the graphics for his book with good old Microsoft Paint. No joke.
Pat writes ” i just suck at photoshop and other programs, and have worked exclusively with Microsoft Paint for over ten years now. I honed my craft by working long overnight shifts at the hospital reception desk. ”
So when it was time to start creating the illustrations and graphics for his book Camp Reblood And The Essential Revenge, he didn’t even tried using other programs and just started with what he knew best and was already good at.
Now if you’re like me and have some doubts about whether or not it’s a good idea to use such an old program to create illustrations today, Pat suggests you either download his pictures and zoom in or just visit his deviantart page to see similar art and step by step guides to creating this kind of art.
