    Circles are easy. Squares and rectangles, too. What gets me is curvy lines. Not just randomly curvy because my hand is shaky, but like precise curves. I use mspaint every time.

      Someone tell him why he’s wrong from using vectors in a raster editor or something.

        Not gonna lie, I don’t even know what that means. I just do things

          It’s just a classic GIMP response to what you posted that it’s essentially a meme. Curved lines, like shapes, are best done in a vector editor like inkscape or illustrator. Raster edits bitmaps, which, being squares, don’t make good curves no matter how steady your hand is. Gimp does have a path tool though.

            Ah, I gotcha now.

            Yeah honestly the only thing I do with gimp is use it to make shitty memes and decent gifs. It’s really solid for animating in my opinion.

            You know, like the South Park kind, not the good kind
