The slightly annoying animated picture above of the greatest composer of the 20th century (Shostakovich) was drawn in the Paint program that comes with Windows. It's a very basic program (why else would Microsoft give it away with their operating sysem?), but you can still do some effective drawing with it provided you have the patience. I drew this with the mouse in five sessions, saving a copy at the end of each session. Then I imported the folder containing these five files into the Imageready program of Adobe PhotoShop and created an animation out of the drawing process simply by running each file sequentially. It's interesting to see the drawing process through time lapse images. I don't know about you, but the power of the computer opens up worlds of fun for me!
