MSPaint Muscle Memory

Go back

Got bored during work today. Decided to relive my earlier years a bit..

I do my work using a family member’s computer, of which runs on Windows and still has that version of MSPaint most are familiar with.

So, struck by terrible boredom, sleepiness, and faced with a not-so busy hour, I opened it up and decided to draw an old favorite of mine; Blossom from Powerpuff Girls.

Doesn’t she look great? I drew it while listening to a 2010-2016 nostalgia playlist of mine.

I was a kid who watched PPG speedpaints religiously, I think back in 2014-2016? It was what introduced me to digital art in the first place. Don’t know where I’d be without it.

..Honestly, I don’t remember my early childhood very vividly. Some of it are basically short clips, while most of it is me just Knowing that something happened, but not retaining the experience itself.

I’m surprised that I somehow still have my MSPaint skills in me. I can’t remember it all, but I know how to pull at curved lines, to drag shapes, and to do that one eraser trick everyone used for erasing their sketches. I know this program’s menu like the back of my hand
Also, it helps that it’s such a simple program overall. LOL.

I think it’s intriguing, is all.

The mind fails, but the body remembers. Or something like that… Hope I made my younger self proud with this one.
