And? What's the question exactly? Do you need sprite resources? help with graphics? If so, ask. And search the web.

What he's saying is:

"Dear AGS community.
I want to do a game, but I can't draw on the computer very well.
Where can I learn how to draw? I would be very grateful for an answer.
By the way, I am sorry if this thread was started in the wrong forum. "

Okay.. You want to know how to draw? Alright! Follow these 3 easy steps and you'll be there in no time:

1. Go to Google
2. Search for "Really good drawings"
3. Study these really good drawings you will discover, and before you know it, you'll be the next Escher!

Or, you can follow an alternate 3 step program:

1. Open up your favourite paint program.
2. Start drawing whatever you want to draw.
3. Do it over and over again, until you are satisfied.. then post in the Critics longue for comments and critiques for you to get better.

If this does not work, you aren't trying hard enough.

So you can't draw well on a computer... but can you draw well using regular ol' pencil and paper?

If so, you could scan your drawings into the computer and then edit them digitally.

Or you could get a Wacom.

I can't draw well either. So? Does that stop me from making a sequel to this? No... but something else is trying that though.........

Ah! That's your problem!

The computer is probably too heavy and doesn't fit in the palm of your hand, right?  Plus, it doesn't soak up ink very well.

Do yourself a favour and get one of those hand-held brush computers.  They're a lot smaller and thus easier to manipulate for art, but they often don't have the same processing power for games and the internet and things like that.  They're also shaped like a paintbrush, so I assume they're like some kind of take-off on MS-Paint.  Mine crashes a lot, but I've seen a lot of really good art coming out of these things, so I suppose it's a toss-up.

You also might want to compromise a bit and staple horse-hairs to a palm-pilot.

Good luck!

I used to suck badly too, and I guess I still kinda do, but the trick we use for some of our rooms is to draw the basic background, then we take a real picture of something and then cartoon-ize it, like bedroom in the Halloween, or the mayors house in our upcoming game "Holiday".


Here is an example before the process is finished.

I suck at drawing, and I suck at 2d computer graphics, so I learned how to do 3d. It's still difficult though, because of interface and the fact that you still need to be able to look at things artistically. Anything you've never done before is challenging, until you've done it a lot and perfected your skills, right? Just like there's no easy way to get rich quick (if there was, everyone would be doing it) there's no way to just learn how to draw like a pro in a week. Practice and time is key.

As a side note, I don't want to be rude, but when you post two-lines with no supporting details (in this case, what programs you've tried and what your specific problems were) it's difficult for people to take you seriously enough to reply with good answers. I mean, who wants to write an in-depth long reply to a one-line question? Most people here will anyways, but still, try a little harder next time.

You don't have to make great art.. you could even use stickmen...

You could use clipart... see if anyone else is willing to help you...

[Ishmael]

I've done the stickmen part... the main thing in drawing, like in many many other things, is that when you do it, you learn more of it.
