The Tool or the hand that holds it?

It was for a reason, that we decided to not call our “drawing tool” at ToonDoo as “Painter” or “Artpad” or something that sounds like we’ve built a mini-photoshop for you..

We wanted you to just “doodle” in a few “finishing touches”, and for that reason, we provided a basic minimum of tools, and even named the tool quite humbly as “The DoodleR”.

But, looking at the creative variety and sheer quality of some of the stuff you guys have come up with, we are just flabbergasted.

Just goes to prove, I guess, that it is the hand that holds the tool that is much much more important than the tool itself.

After all, Vishwanathan Anand plays in the same sixty-four squares!

Recently, I bumped into this wonderful Youtube Video that just proved the same point again.

Lowly MSPaint, that default drawing tool from Microsoft, which has probably remained unchanged in feature set for nearly fifteen years now, can be used to create even the quintessential “most famous painting of them all”, La Gioconda, the Mona Lisa!

Looking for more inspiration? Just fire up the ToonDoo search, and look for some amazing work from toonscribbles, indian_blues, nmichael and cmk100, not to mention scores of other pixelpainters!
