Artpad.art.com is a neat website where you can make a painting, and it remembers every brush stroke you make (less the stuff you did right before you hit the 'undo' option). At any time during the painting process, you can have it replay what you've done so far. When you're happy with the end result, you can save your painting and it will give you a link so you can show other people what you've done, and there's a whole gallery full of people's paintings.
I drew the Shire:

It's really neat replaying how other people drew their paintings. It's kind of like free art lessons!
About Me
- Anacredenza
- Anacredenza is a screen name I made up back when I first joined a debate forum. At that time, I was just about finished figuring out what my beliefs are, and the name, which means 'renewed belief' reflects that. I cannot claim to know everything (not even remotely close!), but I'm now comfortable with what I believe, which I discovered were my deep, though covered-up, thoughts all along, and have therefore been renewed. I may be right, or I may be wrong, but at least now I'm being true to myself. After figuring this out, I went back and talked with people who hold beliefs that I used to share, to test my new (and old) thoughts on the matter. After several years of that, I am much more comfortable with what I believe. I don't care very much about what other people believe any more, as long as they don't use their beliefs to justify harming other people. That said, I care a great deal about how people come to their conclusions - thorough, critical thinking skills are important, and if more people just knew how to think, the whole world could be a much less hostile place.
