Description
Yaaay, I finished ^__^ This took like, FOREVER. But I'm glad I did it, because people always ask me how I draw in Paint. Also, people complain that they only have a mouse and can't draw on the computer... well this way, it doesn't matter if you have a mouse or tablet.
Enjoy and FULL VIEW

If your sketch was done on paper, see this Photoshop tutorial for cleaning up the lines >> [link] << Then come back to this one!

when you say to "put a color to your background color" how do you do that? srry im kinda new with all of this coloring with paint thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You have two colors - foreground and background. Foreground is what you get when you select with left click and you draw it with left click. Background color is selected with right click, and by right-clicking, you can draw with it.

Oh crap, I still can't believe you did this in MC Paint XD

Wow! I don't know you could all that fancy stuff of Paint!
Will you look at my first deviation, Luna Wolf? She was drawn in Paint too, but carelessly with the pencil, paintbrush, and fill bucket. I wish I had known all that stuff before drawing her!
Your cute cat character is the best pixel art I've seen yet!

OMGG.. That Blue background erasing thing is awesome. I wish I'd known that. It'd save me lots of time with the eraser tool! xD -fave- I need to send this to my friend too. xD

OMG I've never been able to do my lines nice and clean even with photoshop so I alsways assumed oh well I'd need a tablet. But you proved me wrong and showed me a MUCH quicker way to colour my lines instead of pixel by pixel of recolouring! thank you! Awsome work!

This is so incredibly helpful it isnt even funny. I gave up on drawing in paint because then I had to go and erase every mark with that eraser tool that I want to stab! I did it once, took like three hours, and then gave up. I had lost all hope for paint.
I also gave up doing line art and coloring in paint. Its all the eraser tools fault I swear! Now all I have are sketches. Theyre so lonely without line art or colors. But you gave me hope once more! 
But I do have one request. Do you know of any shading and highlighting tutorials for paint because i dont know how to do them. I want to make my art even more beautiful but i just dont know how.
Or you could make one for all the helpless wannabee artists out there: like me!
You would make an amazing one since you did so well on this.
