#every little layer selection isnt an undo

[seven-thewanderer]

Okay after a lot of stress of doing this, I made this drawing!!!

and here's a version w/out the darkness:

And there was supposed to be a version that was just the bg, but...

that leads into why I got stressed

I'll explain, but I'll put it below a cut so people aren't forced to see me ranting

So rant below:

The combination of Kleki + my often-glitches chromebook is a free helltrip.

So, as I've explained probably in June, my tablet is not working, forcing me to use my Chromebook to interact, and Kleki, this random drawing site, to draw

And Kleki is already not preferred by me, since:

It has a limit of 16 layers (sure, it used to only have 8, which was worse, but I'd still prefer more layers)

It doesn't really have a blur tool (sure, it has a blurring edit labelled Tilt Shift, but it doesn't work really like a blur tool would)

You can't select a specific part of a layer (example: Say for the drawing above, I put two heads: One is SunBun's, one is Moonpie's. However, Moonpie's isnt where I want it to be! It would be simple to just... select Moonpie's head, right? Nope!! You can't select one of them, you select the whole layer!! I've at least found a cheat of duplicating the layer, removing Sun's head on one & Moon's on the other, and then moving the layer that only has Moon's head. However, ya cant do that when you already have 16 layers, can ya??)

You can't select & recolor a part of a layer. (this is something I honestly use a lot if I'm drawing Sun and/or Moon lineless. I select the head, and then draw the cresent, with no worry of having to erase the outer lines. However, this one doesn't do that, and that upsets me slightly, but it's not too big of an issue.

No folders for layers (I don't usually use folders w/ layers so this doesn't bother me, but I found out from someone who I won't name that folders can be helpful when drawing, and this site didn't have that, so yeah for any folder users or anyone who needs a lot of layers then good luck using Kleki)

Trying to undo something and hitting the Share button by accident (this annoys me so much. I make a mistake, try to undo it, and have to deal with seeing "Kleki.Com says sharing not supported" over and over again like I KNOW!!! SHUT UPP!!!!)

And probably many more issues that I just can't think of rn

Of course this is just how I feel about it, and most of my issues towards it are based off of how I used IbisPaintX (what I would draw with on my tablet), but Kleki just makes me wish my tablet gets fixed quicker...

Cus honestly drawing would be easier for me on IbisPaintX than on Kleki...

But that's not it...

Since at the start I said the combination of Kleki & my often-glitches chromebook, right?

I've explained Kleki, what about my Chromebook?

well...

the screen will randomly go black.

when you least expect it.

Like some examples:

Writing something? A story, or an assignment, or something like that? Boom, black screen.

Watching a video? Boom, black screen.

Looking/scrolling through something? Boom, black screen. (or sometimes it just freezes, but that's only happened if I'm scrolling mainly...)

Drawing? Boom, black screen!!

But for that last one, that's not just it!!

so to finish that little equation?

Kleki plus my often-glitches Chromebook equals....

Your drawing is now lost to the void!!! Yippee!!! (<- /s)

But yeah I was drawing (and I've learned almost every step you gotta save it), and while I was working on the oven & wall of the bg, it glitched & I lost it

And I had it stepped out like this:

Sunbun & Moonpie

Roller

Dough

Sugar jar BG

Table BG

Oven BG

Wall BG

I reached the oven, but started working on the wall at the same time, and it did the thing!!! And since I saved after the Table, that meant 1-5 were all now 1 layer, and I couldn't have a separate bg image anymore, since the sugar jar & the table was meant to be a part of the BG!! Yippee!!!

So yeah, though I'm glad it didn't glitch while I was drawing Sunbun & Moonpie (since I would've just given up then), I'm still pissed.

But that's enough ranting, cus I don't like ranting. ...at least, I don't like me ranting.
