[@magicalmermaidarts7559]

Actually I find its much easier to use the eraser trick. and when you change properties and dont save, close and reopen the file, if you use the pencil again it has weird grey edges around it.

[@jesterday3965]

Another easy thing is Transparent Selection under the select tool. If you keep the color you want to remove in Color 2, and put the color you want it to become in Color 1, you do Select All; Cut; Fill with Color 1; Paste; done :)

[@flittermousii]

Another trick for cleaning up you sketch that's way easier AND you don't have to line in black! 1. Make sure your sketch is a different color from your lineart. 2. Select your sketch color as 'Color 2' (right click with eyedropper tool) 3. Set your background color as 'Color 1' (left click with eyedropper tool) 4. Click the arrow button under the select tool and choose 'Transparent Selection' 5. Click the arrow button under the select tool, then do 'Select All' and cut. 6. You should notice that your whole canvas is the color of your sketch. Use the fill bucket tool to change your canvas color to your background color. 7. Paste. You now have clean linework!

MS Paint is underrated. It is great for basic stuff. Clean and crisp art. Using "Properties" is a must when trying to get sharp line work. Keyboard shortcuts are helpful as well. I like ctrl>left click to copy a "selected" object and move to desired position. Transparent selection is key to this. And the arrow keys on the keyboard help with precise positioning. So many ways to do things in this program. Just look for the right tutorials, and "the sky is the limit". Saving elements, or small drawings, to bitmap can be helpful when pasting from files. Thanks for this upload. It points the way....

[@taylorh1872]

Wow just wow. I've been using Paint once and awhile (I'm not really a drawing type of artist, I'm more of an author than a painter but I do want to try.) and since it's the only thing I use to draw, this will be really useful for me if I want to start drawing characters and stuff akin to that. Thank you very much for this video.

[@amberfulcher273]

I have been using MS Paint for so long yet FINALLY THIS ONE TIME I LEARN HOW TO FILL WITHOUT THE WHITE EDGES! Never knew the pencil tool was actually useful

[@zapoww]

Thanks for making this! This came up in my recommended at just the right time. I wanted to draw stuff and was thinking about getting a free tool to do it with. I kept it at the back of my mind as something I wanted to do later, then I got on to youtube to watch videos and I saw this. My first drawing using this while trying to follow along wasn't that great, but after that I started over from scratch and remade it and it looks amazing (at least for my below-par drawing skills) This really helped me! Edit: Also now I've spent three hours making two drawings and it's midnight. Life well spent.

[@poofypoof5706]

Dunno if you've found FireAlpaca after 9 months or not, but I'm recommending it anyway just in case .. it's worth it. As much as I love using MS Paint (it's how I got into digital art in the first place), I came across FA. It's a free download; and in many ways, heaps better than MSP. A lot more tools are avaliable, e.g. opacity, onion skin mode, gradients, etc., as well as a better reception in the overall art community. Most people just hate MSP because they have no idea how to use it/have no skills to use it in the first place. A few tools aren't all that intuitive, but with experimenting (and Googling, if you're too lazy to figure it out), they're easy to learn and easier to master. You can export to different file types 'n that too; transparent backgrounds are an awesome feature. If you still use MSP and like pixel art, there's a binary pen tool as well. Pretty neat-o stuff :D

[@kozozero7451]

Sadly I'm not very good at digital art so yeah. But this video helped me because when I try to draw digital art I use ms paint. So thanks!

[@RebakaChan]

+xx selenium xx I'm on Windows 10, they should work!

[@nedoo8332]

how i do in ms paint (i use mouse so hehe) 1. i make a circle for head 2. i make the sketch for the head and body 3. i do the real lineart on those shape thingies or just pen. 4. after i have done the lineart, i put the color i wanna delete (the sketch) to the place 2 on that little thingy and white on the 1st. 5. i put the transparent section on on that select thing and then move the picture with free form- or rectangular selection. ta da, your sketch is gone, and the real lineart doesnt have to be black! 6. when the sketch is gone, i usually put sharp endings to the lines so they look more cleaner. 7. then comes the fun part! coloring, lighting and shading. i always first color the places the way i want. usually start with the hair and all the way to the legs so hair-face-middle body-legs, sometimes clothes. 8. after done that, i start shading, i usually use little bit darker shadings from the body, but in black-white pictures, the shading is black. 9. when coloring and shading is done, i put some little details like shine for the hair and so and so. 10. last, i put the backround. sometimes i dont but usually yes. that's how i use mspaint! ^^

i usually use firealpaca, but i do use ms paint too when i get bored. i didn't actually know about the black and white trick, so i just used the eraser trick. (holding right click while you erase will replace the primary color with the secondary color, if anyone didn't know) this tutorial did help a lot, so thanks!

[@afewklikawayb.p.9098]

?

[@aymen8770]

good job, but for the shading I suggest choosing an area that the light is coming from. The drawing in the video had shading pretty much everywhere, with no solid light source. for instance, if light was coming from the top left, there would be darkness behind the nose, under the neck, behind layers of hair, and on the right side of the body. Pretty much on the right side in general. if it's a front view, I shade around the nose, the cheek bone line, and around the eyebrow arch instead of just anything behind the nose.

You don't need to do the line art in black because another way to get rid of the sketch is to: 1) put the color of the sketch in color one 2) make sure the color in color 2 is white 3) hold down right click and erase besides that, amazing drawing!

[@simonmacdougall7832]

This is what i do in MS paint: First, i take the circle tool and make some red circles (two to three). I draw line-art without sketch. (I rarely draw lines for limbs but when i do, i draw a base for the hands too) Sometimes, if i needed to draw over black lines, I select another colour other than white, bright yellow, red or black, and draw over the black lines (this is mainly for necks over hair or arms over hair) After the line-art is done, I grab the bucket tool and put red in Colour 1, keep white in colour 2. Then, I click red, white, red, white until all the bright colours (red, orange, etc) are gone. After doing that, I colour the drawing, (rarely do shading) and colour the eyes. I don't usually add a background, but when I do, if i leave the transparent on, I colour anything white with blue, purple, etc. and then put it over the background I want. That way, it doesn't appear in the eyes/teeth on the character. And that, my friends, is how I use MS Paint. If there are any mistakes, please tell me them in my reply box. I will fix them.

[@-sofi-4738]

Actually I drew vegeta with Ms Paint and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever done it's so similar to the original, I'm proud

[@flamingolegs]

oR to remove the sketch, you can just select the colour of the sketch in the "colour 1" slot and the colour of the background in the "colour 2" slot and right click with the eraser tool.

[@fearamhain2475]

Rebaka-Chan! Please notice this! You don't have to switch between the two types of lines. Once you make your one adjustment to your curved line, don't move your mouse, just click a second time in the same spot, no changes are made to your line and it finishes it.

[@MoonMoon_1124]

You can also use the erase button to draw! it gives you thick lines with clean edges. no white pixels.

[@puzzlick7088]

If you use the eraser tool use color 1 to the color you want to change and color 2 to the color you want to change it to, when you do that go over everything with the eraser tool holding right click

[@rainbowraven7051]

This was very helpful, especially the shading part.

[@cheesebread0987]

To blend the shading better you should use the natural pencil tool (under paint with the other tools) then add the desired color. To blend it you need to use the colors in between the newly created shading and the main color. If you zoom in you can see the darker pixels. Just click on those colors and create a different line. Just a (very long) suggestion lol.

[@mastarmon1322]

Thank you someone else appreciates Ms paint

[@NovaNocturneArt]

One trick for MSpaint for shading is using the eraser. select the color that you need to shade over for the color 1, then select the color you need to shade with for color 2. Then use right click to 'paint' shadows with your eraser. Much faster than painting with the pencil brush.
