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

Sorry for the giant size of it, and thanks to =pichu4850 for the eraser-outline tick!

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

edit: for people who don't have Photoshop: made a tutorial for doing the same thing with Gimp, here it is >> [link] <<

What an awesome tutorial P:
I laughed my ass off at the "SAVE OFTEN,OR MICROSOFT WILL COMMIT SUICIDE AND YOUR PICTURE WILL DIE."
DUDE,that always happens to me.
ALWAYS.
And when that happens,that means BUH BYE EFFORTED DRAWING THAT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FINISH AND I DIDN'T SAVE.

OMG there is fekking hope for us MS painters yet!! ZOMG! And to think, I ran across this looking for Harry Potter comics X3
Like, I'll ever have the patience to do this though. Meh, maybe some day. I have a laptop with a..uh, mouse..pad..thing. Yeah, I have a wireless mouse but don't have a desk and wouldn't be able to do something like this unless i was comfortable. Anywho..I FAVED ANYWAY! Cause I could so use this in a future and pass it on!

haha, 2 years on and i have looked at this. It's great - considering i still live in the stone age with MS Paint but oh well. I drew a horse on paint using the lineart thing, but today i couldn't be bothered with all the shading. It's the first time i actually did a lineart lol.

SkyNymph In reply to ??? [2007-04-23 18:20:03 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure that I follow how you did the highlights. Is that the same thing you did with the shading? I will definitely be using this, Paint is the only drawing program I have on my computer. Thanks!

yuliya In reply to SkyNymph [2007-04-24 01:22:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's the same as with shading.

SkyNymph In reply to yuliya [2007-04-29 22:57:56 +0000 UTC]

Okay thanks. Although I've never shaded anything in my life so me thinks I'll stick with trying to figure that out before I tackle highlights. xD Thanks.
