Wow...that really is amazing. I don't believe that it only took two and a half hours though.

I dub this the coolest MS Paint art ever. Cooler than that one with the car.

All of the other videos this artist has is pretty amazing as well. I'm also surprised that it ONLY took two hours and thirty minutes, I would have imagined that it took about 6 hours, or something. But that is really amazing!

EDIT:

This video is pretty cool as well.

It's where the artist creates a painting with McDonalds french fries and ketchup.

I have a feeling this particular artist had a tablet, and is very used to working with one. It's not actually that hard to go and copy another piece of art. He does have skill, but i'm not sure why anyone would want to tout skills in MSPaint as their claim to fame.

Well it's still not something most people can do, even if it is in paint. I'm impressed!

Well, MS Paint is hardly a professional drawing package. It comes with the Windows OS, which pretty much everyone uses. Shows everyone you don't need to buy Adobe Photoshop to produce good drawings.

I know loads of amazing artists and graphics artists that use Paint.
That is pretty amazing though. I don't have that much patience/my mouse hates me. XD

I don't think anyones ever claimed you need to use Adobe to do good online drawings. There's been a lot of artists who use MS Paint, though to me it's a bit weird. *shrugs* But perhaps thats my artistic snobbery shining through.

Wow. Those were awesome to watch! Don't think I'd ever be able to do that with Paint, though....I'm just not that talented with my mouse

I only use paint for simple things when I don't want to wait 30 minutes for the GIMP to load.

I just use Paint.NET, way better and easier to use. But those people have skillzzzzzzz.
