What effect is your avatar Masterlegodude?
I didn't make it, it just looks like the effect that is gained by redrawing the same scene with crayons

I really don't know what I'm trying to say
My post was more aimed at Night Fox, i should have been more clear about that by quoting him
Also, i tried drawing in Flash once,
it didn't quite come out well, so i must have been doing something wrong (but despite how it looks, it somehow manged to start a small image editing fad long ago)
it's just weird. other programs are a lot better for it
Well you're right there, but i just feel it's harder to get that smooth anti-aliased look with most programs like Paint.net or Photoshop
Paint.Net's brush is good, but something about it's anti-aliasing just feels off and the lining isn't exactly smooth unless you have a steady hand or aren't zoomed out as much
Photoshop's brushes are still rather blurred even if you set the flow to 100, and hardness to 100, using smaller brush sizes like 2 or 3 looks okay but still pretty blurry, so it just feels like you're forced to use up even more time drawing something by using the line tool and tracing the outer and inner walls of the outline
I also find it hard to color inside the lines in these programs, unless you use Photoshop's line tool or just use a bolder brush size in either programs
