But then I saw your latest drawing.... OMG, you rule. I so want to draw on a minitablet/phone and the n900 seems to be the very last resistive screen device to come.

So a question to you my fellow artists
- Is the n900 still worth getting mainly for the mypaint app even though other things might suck about it. Or do you guys feel that mypaint is great, but not enough when compared to the n900 flaws.

Or perhaps, maybe you guys donīt experience any flaws at all? I dont care about other apps, navigation, IM or email feature. Only making calls, snappy interface, great still camera and a great browser. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Nice art work everyone, I envy you all
frankly, this phone is really love and hate relationship.. i really like this phone compare any other phone i owned before. but then, facing reality, it is just internet tablet with phone feature, a basic one. flaw isnt that many.. just some minor irritation like music plays after hanging up a call, lags if install unnessary stuff.. but to me, mypaint really let me overlook all this minor problems. maybe bcoz i used to dream to have a tablet to draw.. its really nice to draw on this little beast though small screen...

navigation, at least i still can use sygic rather than that crappy ovi which does no good but wasting my time. overall, if i have the chance to keep this, i would.. even use as internet tablet.

Thanks for your input!
As I stated, I don't care about turn based navigation, other apps than mypaint or group contacts and custom ringtones for each or even portrait mode and flash 10.

All I care about is that it works ok as a phone, cam, internet browser, and mini tablet for sketching (which has been my dream as well). And that those things are quick to run. (Hate waiting. grrr)

I do get kind of worried when you say the music player starts playing after a call ends. Or do you mean that it does that only if it was playing before the call came?

Another thing I was curious about is how much battery Mypaint consumes?

Hi!
@outdoors .. to me N900 is essential because of MyPaint,
I am also happy with web browser, email, skype, messaging.

But what comes about phone there is much better alternatives.. really. I am not using phone function that much.. so N900 fits me just fine.

Nokia N900 is not toy for me... it is very serious tool right now.
Only minus is weak battery performance.

And I really hope that there is coming something new from Nokia
which will offer some sort of pressure sensitivity technology to
keep artistic people happy. (bit more memory please... and maybe bit faster processor)

I am not so impressed multi touch things.. it is handy for some functions but I do not get this funny boom of finger(..g)..
I prefer proper stylus and physical keyboard.. not finger acrobating.

@slaxe ... I hope that you will continue doodling... pen and paper is also good, really.

@woorm .. I like your arty works there.. especially those colorful stuff.. keep going.

Ok..
Scrap from me..

Tone

Thinking that the N9 (I mean the next Meego device) will probably have a capacitive screen and will be unable to produce such artwork makes me so sad, since I plan on getting one (but we'll see)... :/

Just an example of a drawig of somebody on a capacitive screen:

(he even said he did his best since it was for his girlfriend..)

ok probably the app sucked, but the precision is unexistant...

anyway, keep on with your drawings and sorry for the OT...

Being realistic, no. I think if someone wants to learn to draw they'd be better off starting with pencil and paper. I doubt you could write an app that could teach anything meaninful. If it's giving you outlines to colour in and stuff, you aren't really learning to draw. You'd be better off just putting some time in practising freestyle. I guess you could start off trying to copy some paintings or something. But even though it's possible to get some pretty good results in mypaint on the n900 I don't think I'd recommend it as a starting point for beginners!

Who knows though, maybe I'm just old fashioned and only think pencil and paper's the best starting point because that's the way I did it.

Pen and paper is good..

.. but I think that nowadays digital is also good way to learn and it is faster, cheaper and more convenient method..
eg. working with colors is much easier.. it is of course very much different thing to mix colors digitally than different traditional mediums.

I still recommended to learn traditional natural mediums if it is possible.

Computer, medium size A5+ pressure sensitivity tablet and (free) MyPaint / (cheap) ArtRage is just good way to start learning.

Studying... perspective, composition, color theory, anatomy.. etc.. is important if you aim to be better.

Only way to learning to draw and paint is just doing it as much as possible, anything what you dare.. everyday!

Nokia N900 and MyPaint is quite good but I still recommend to
something bigger... when drawing area is big you can use your arm more and not your wrist.

There is couple benefit to use small device like N900 with MyPaint.

1. It is so easy to check composition at "thumbnail" size work...
if picture looks good in small scale it will mostly look good in big scale.

2. It is always with me!

3. You can work easily in the dark!

btw. Andrew Loomis and George Bridgmans books are very good...

Just draw and learn to look...

Im sure one could be taught to draw but being good at it after is another problem I think the DS app just shows the basics, it's really more for how u would use all of the excellent brushes in mypaint.
