Artist's Comments

So yeah. This was kinda bloody amazing. O___O I didn't know any of this stuff about MS Paint. And I've never seen these techniques used elsewhere, so I'm guessing hardly anybody else knows about it either.

I always dreamed of a bigger/smaller eraser tool. Aaaaaaah. -bliss-

I can't wait to see what I cook up using this. <3

I plan on editing this as I learn about more stuff, so keep an eye on this. I'll prolly make a journal update if I add anything.

Awesome.

A few things I've picked up over the years (LOL) that other people may not know:

+ To erase only one colour, select the colour (foreground) and then the eraser tool. Using right-click, go over the area that the colour is in: it'll only erase the selected foreground colour.
+ To recolour lines easily, get the -original- line colour set as your foreground colour, and then, by right-clicking it, select the colour you want the lines to be as a background colour. Right click and scribble all over the lines and it'll replace the foreground colour with the background colour.

I hope you don't mind me putting this here. XD

Awesome tut. Can't wait to see this used in your work. < 33

I knew all of that. ^^ And I also knew what Comett just pointed out. Another thing you can do with Paint is that when zooming, you can see a thumbnail as well as a grid. When zoomed, go to Show > Zoom > and select thumbnail or grid. xD I hope that's right, translated from my swedish one.
There are loads of hidden things to paint. (: :thumbsup:
