Rude much?

Just to clear things up, for everyone, this rant board is indeed only for issues involving the site. This should be in the General Art section, but someone has already reported this topic, so hopefully it will be moved there shortly.

Anyway, I used to draw with a mouse and I was getting the hang of it. I ended up buying a tablet though, because it was easier for me to make art with a tablet. Although, there's nothing wrong with drawing with a mouse, I mean hey, look at it this way :

1. You can still become an amazing artist

2. You'll learn to be patient

3. You'll take more time to draw your art, meaning you'll be able to give attention to detail

So, drawing with a mouse isn't such a big deal, not to me anyway...Even though I'm very greatful for having my tablet. (And I am aware that I'm lucky to own a tablet and such amazing art programs such as Photoshop, I don't take it for granted)

Drawing with the mouse can be easier than realized if you know what to use. For instance, on MS Paint, the curve line tool. I've made complete pictures with just that, with the mouse. And you get clean, pixeled lines for linearting and coloring them. All PCs I believe have MS Paint too, so for anyone who just has a mouse to work with, try that out. But with anything, it will take practice, rome wasn't built in a day and all that jazz lol.

Haha, Im not gonna draw with a tablet just cuz some people are pissed that Im using a mouse :/
I can draw however I want, thank you very much and it's not because I can't afford it (people arent poor as hell when they draw with mouses y'know.) I simply use it because I've started out with it and its more easier.

I have a tablet, I simply choose not to use it much cuz you have to be very good at it and im not in the mood to practice on that.
