Sure you can :) And can you into giving me a link?

I know you're supposed to actually draw the circles but I couldn't resist, it just looks 'cleaner' that way ^^

Totally agree with you! Some canons may be violated.

www.facebook.com/BohemiaBall?f… is the main one and www.facebook.com/owuball?fref=… is the one Fenn-O-maniC made for our NS region :D

:XD: It depends on how well you can draw :XD: I, for example, can't :XD:

I can't draw circles well with a mouse, thats why I used the circle tool to start.
SoaringAven's avatar
Neither can I XD It takes a while to get a satisfactory result

I can draw (on paper), but it's hard with a PC mouse... The actual reason I don't 'draw' Polandball comics is that I think they look much better when they're made with the pen tool in Photoshop or Illustrator :) And the bonus is that this makes the whole process less frustrating ^^

I don't have fb but I'll check out the group, thanks :)

I manage with just a mouse :D I use paint. NET ^_^ And they don't have to be perfect, you know. That's the beauty of polandball. That's why they make grammatical mistakes and that's why the circle tool is forbidden :D

I agree part of the beauty of Polandball is that it's all flawed... But I guess it's the artist in me who can't keep things "simple". ^^;
You know, it's the crazy idea that I don't want to make something that everyone could make in 10 seconds. When I make a Polandball comic,
I always start out like "let's keep this quick and simple". But then I start correcting, decorating and adding stuff... Never been much for "rules" anyway ^^

I really like the broken English, though :XD:

And isn't it simpler to just smack down a bad circle than using a tool :D
And you are contradicting yourself :XD: You say you like things "simple" but say that you "don't want to make something that everyone could make in 10 seconds"  :XD:

It's a language of it's own, isn't it? :D

No no, I said "the artist in me can't keep things simple" ^^ So although I always start on a Polandball comic with the idea of "let's keep this simple", I never succeed, because I always end up adding new things (like a hat and cigar, in this case).

Have you seen my Palestineball cartoon? That also started from the idea "let's keep it simple, 3 panels, basic drawings, 30 minutes"... Before long, I was drawing vases, sand-layers, flags and dust effects, and experimenting with gradients. It took me like 3-4 hours instead of 30 minutes (but I like the end result) :XD:

I cannot into simplicity ^^;

:XD: Close enough.

Oh yes XD On FB, infact XD Btw, du hast a treasure-trove of awesomelicious polandballs :D if you put a small signature or watermark on them I could post them on FB (if you wouldn't mind, that is ^^; ).
