A hedgehog playing the bass

This took me about 5 hours in TV Paint 10.

I have to say - at first I didn't understand the colors/folders system, because I'm coming from a Photoshop background. However, I now find this system to be better for animation. The reason is that, if you have layers grouped as a folder, those layers must ALL be above/below another element in the scene (for example, all color layers under linework, if they're in a folder together). But with arbitrary color grouping, I can put some color elements ABOVE the linework, but still be able to categorize and find them quickly. I am renaming my color groups accordingly, as Ruff, Tiedown, Cleanup, Color, and FX. This also helps keep my timeline organized as I move from each stage to the next, without worrying that I'm losing any layers. They just get folded down and tucked away, and can be reactivated at any time.

Thank you for that cute animation and, above all, thank you for your kind words about the software and the color group :) We are glad to know you appreciate it !
