I agree to your every statement. There is a right way to use artpad, but the sub-par excuses for artwork that I have been seeing are not that. If someone were to make, say, a detailed Impressionist-styled Bionicle drawing, I would be forced to comment in it, but, I'm sorry to say, I have yet to see an artpad drawing that is any good. So unless one of our artists out there can make an artpad drawing that is actually art, I will join this boycott.
Truth be told, I haven't ever posted in any artpad topics anyway.
