Description
Download for better view.And I have something to say about the 7th step: choose the color you want to erase with LEFT click, then you erase it (or recolor it in white) with RIGHT click.
This is a tutorial for all the people out there asking how I make my bases.
It's very simple, guys, really.
You just have to get used to it!
PS: the rubber tool is simply the ERASER. Okay?

After I did Step 6 on MS Paint, Half of it was the same color and most of the outline was blended in with the body color. Is it supposed to happen?

Uhm, you should have used those colors that remains when you save as a Bitmap 16 colors image...

Why not just use the colour sampling tool with the fill tool for Step 7? The eraser's just pointlessly time-consuming IMO.
Because I have the Windows 7 variant of MS Paint, I tend to fly through part 7 in seconds by doing this:
1) Make sure 'transparent selection' is ON
2) Make your primary colour white
3) Use the colour-sampling tool to make your secondary colour the one you want to filter out.
4) Ctrl+X
5) Fill entire canvas with white
6) Ctrl+V
Repeat steps 3-6 for every colour that isn't being used in your template.
The 16 colours in a 16-colour bitmap are (Hue:Saturation:Luminosity):
White 160:0:240, Light Grey 160:0:181 Grey 160:0:120, Black 160:0:0
Red 0:240:120, Dark Red 0:240:60, Yellow 40:240:120, Dark Yellow 40:240:60
Light Green: 80:240:120, Green 80:240:60, Cyan 120:240:120, Teal 120:240:60
Blue 160:240:120, Dark Blue 160:240:60, Pink 200:240:120, Purple 200:240:60
The hue values in the first row are irrelevant, along with the saturation values for black and white.

That's why I briefly mentioned the fill and colour sampler tool. That's still a lot more efficient than an eraser.

I'll just keep making bases in paint.net

wait do you change it back to regular colors when you are finished with step 8?

Usually I fill the holes and all in the file bmp. Then, when I have to add other colors, I change the file as a PNG or simply copy it in a new paint file and save it as a ONG. You can choose, but remember that in BMP 16 colors file you can't use other color but a few color. Different shades of, for exemple, violet will turn into gray...

I've gotton to step 7, but i don't understand that step, is it just picking up the eraser then colouring over it with white but leaving the outlining?

I use this technique but with a twist.
What I do is a take a red or whatever color out of the 16 and trace it over the pony lines. I don't use the pixel tool though because I feel it will take too long. I then do dat junk where I save it as a 16 color bmp, blah blah. I make the background compleatly one color. Then do the same for the pony. I then transfer the image to a new BMP. A fresh, clean unlimited color bmp. I can then change the colors and make it look a bit more professional. All in under and hour!

i'm happy you found your way
This technique takes an hour or less to me, but it always depends on how big is the image
