Woo an on the beta program. Think I've proved that I like the program enough...

That said was seriously worried that the things added would steal from the purity of it. For the moment, having only played with it for one day and one image, I can't say for sure but think what the dev's added only adds, if that makes sense.

Anyhow, doodled this which is an image with a history. Basically when I'm teaching shrink plastic this is something which always gets an airing. I start the kids off with a blank page and get them to draw the circles which will make up the image: fried egg shape for the ufo and simple shape animal. Then, once that's all done I go over the fact that the bottom circles are any animal they want and in the ufo is any type of alien they want too. It's surprisingly fun to do and works well into what happens next. In college it's the same sort of lesson but much more tied into abstract/unintended artwork and how to deal with whatever the artistic version of writer's block is called. Absinthe distraction or whatever.

Anyhow: added but likely to be still played with at a later date. I hope that Brushes 2 doesn't overwrite Brushes 1 as the working methodology is slightly different but, as the philosopher said: it's all good.
