Hello all my friends and all members here Ji, I am unable to understand why in computer language (IN PAINT), PENCILS provided to paint or draw anything points down instead of pointing up as we are acustomed to write anything. Normally, when we write /draw/paint, we always keep our pencils up facing sky at particular angle, which has not been provided. Any particular reason. Please convince me. Thanks in advance. May God bless You and have a great time

This is an interesting thought, and I am sure the creators of these programs never looked into. It is interesting though when using these programs it is nothing like when we used to Draw or paint ourselves, but quite interesting how using the touch of a mouse, etc. there is so much more you can do. Just a New way of looking at creative art for sure.

Hello my friend KrauseHome Ji, Well, first of all I wish to thank you for understanding my view. It is like left handers should be asked to use their right hands, a un-natural way. I think there may bwe some problems in converting anolog theory with presenting natural way of pencil, tip pointing towards the sky, as we use in normal way. May God bless You and have a great time

I don't know but it had never really bothered me in anyway and I have not even given it a thought. I won't be able to explain it but I know a computer geek will surely help you. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hello my friend riyauro Ji, Well, first of all I wish to thank you for your quick response. I also never botehred for so many yrs, at least 20 yrs now, but other day when my hubby was trying to introduce Paint feature to our 5 and half yr old Grand son, then he understood why was he commiting mistake, it was unnatural to hold and draw as per pencils provided in Paint feature, that is why this idea generated. Let's watch for some more responses. Thanks. May God bless You and have a great time
