My hobbies..MS Paint Drawings

This is one of my hobbies, which I actually discovered in me, after I started my job. You might be thinking, the relation between the job and this hobby. Firstly, I started using computer often..Trust me, I do coding as well. Seriously, I know "if-else" and "for loops". Ok, now dont quiz me with that. As usual, I am drifting away from what I intended to say. Secondly, and most importantly, I had exterme free times. Not that I dont do my work, but there was a time in my so called professional career, when I used to sit hours, with out doing any thing. I was not alone; of sure, Orkut and google were there with me to give compay. Friends, dont think that I was on bench eating away my colleagues salary, I was in a billable project, making dollars to my company. So, in my child hood I used to draw with pencil, which is called pencil drawing. With paint, I am horrible. So, I thot of refreshing it, during my office times (free time). I can't take a drawing paper and draw pictuires sitting in the office. So, I thought of using this computer as a medium to refresh my drawing skills, though I didn't have much. Now I typed "mspaint" in the "run" and this wonderful white background presented itself to me. I dont know where to start and what to draw. I started to draw my old time school favourite, "scenary". Thats the word I use, ok? The scenary is, two hills and a rising sun and lots of "V"s. Didnt get what the "V" is? Its birds. Then I started applying paint to that pics. As usual, it sucked, and it turned out to be horrible. Now, I wanted to some thing else. The soul of a mechanical engineer started peep up. Yes, FYI, I was a mechanical engineer. So, I decided to draw something related to that. Dont ever think that I was planning to do some Machine Design drawings. I started to draw cars and jeeps and buses and what not. You must see those... Bus is like a BOX with 2 circles. Yes, the other 2 tyres cant be seen. Oh, forgot to tell; those circles are tyres and the box is the body of the bus. So after all flope stories of drawings, I went back to google again. Now I was searching for some images. I got a pencil sketch of "Jack Sparrow"- the pirates of caribbean. It was an awesome sketch by some one. So I thought of drawing it. But how can I do it in office. At least I must pretend that i am working. So again back to MS Paint. I kept the the picture side of the MS paint window and started to draw lines. This is for marking the height and width. Then I got the size of the image and I started using the controls of curved lines, staright lines, eraser etc. The main control which was too useful was the eraser. Becasue I never do things right for the first time. Its been following me all through my life. So after that, I got an out line of the picture. Then comes the use of lens control. the magnifier. This helps to have a close look at tha picture and with the use of different colors available and color pickers, I started doing the shades. So like that, I started drawing pictures. Or you could say, copying some else's pictures. But I really enjoyed it. Every one should have some hobby that they enjoy to the heart and vlue it the whole life. Next time I will talk about another hobby of mine. "The Chalk Carving"...
