    The original MacPaint taught me this, and it didn’t even have color.

    It also had this cool mirror tool that would mirror your brushstrokes on various axes and I spent so much time making cool designs with that, but I’ve not seen it in a drawing program since.

      Maaan; I miss classes in the computer room, sitting at those transparent-case crt macs playing flash games and drawing in paint when we were supposed to be doing some assignment nobody gaf about.

      in Photoshop: brush tool, then click the butterfly at the top

      Illustrator is more complicated:

      Line Segment Tool (keyboard shortcut \) to draw a straight line across the artboard (twice for 2 axes - horizontal and vertical)

      hide the line by changing the stroke color to None.

      Go to the Layers panel and click on the circle next to the layer to make it a double circle.

      overhead menu > select Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform.

      Check Reflect Y and input 1 for the Copies value. Click OK.

      If I’m understanding correctly, Krita has that mirroring thing in a variety of … uh… variations.
