Tips & Tricks I Use For MS Paint

here's a quick video documenting my drawing and coloring process on ms paint!

i've gotten a lot of comments on a drawing on the vocaloid amino app by people completely surprised i used ms paint for one of my drawings. i decided to make a video showing how i do it!

《 TRANSCRIPT 》

hello! this video is just an example of how i draw in ms paint. i don't have a mic so there will be captions. i will also be putting a transcript in the description. this is my first time doing a video like this so please bare with me. that being said, thank you so much for watching!

here's a quick sketch i did before recording. i line with the pencil usually on the 2 smallest sizes. be as messy as you want! get your ideas during this stage.

when i'm done lining, i get rid of the sketch with the eraser tool. this is where the color boxes come in handy. color 1 is the color you want to change. this color will be the sketch color. color 2 is the color you want to replace color 1 with.

since i'm gonna get rid of the sketch completely, this color will be the background color. i then click and hold right click and go over the drawing.

this trick is very handy when you don't want to ruin the line work you just did.

voila! a very easy cleanup.

note that this trick only works with the eraser tool so make sure to become great friends with it!

quick tip: hold ctrl and + on the number pad to increase the tool size beyond your available options.

since i work small, i don't really find the need to use really big sizes. the only time i do is when i'm ready to erase the sketch.

here i'm using the same technique i used to erase the layer to shade. now you can shade without ruining your hard work as well!

this next trick is one i don't use often, but find very handy when using a color i want to be "see-through". using the marker tool, i lay down the color my see-through color will "intersect" with. i then lay the see-through color on top to create the intersecting color. the blush isn't a good example, but hopefully you understand what i mean!

i add my finishing touches and voila! this is my drawing and color process in ms paint. i hope you found this video helpful, even if a little, and thank you for watching! :3
