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] <<

made a tutorial for doing the same thing with only Paint! Awesome! here it is >> [link] <<

yuliya In reply to purplesockllama [2006-12-30 00:39:27 +0000 UTC]

Depends on how much detail I'm putting in and whether I do a background or not, but anywhere from 2-20 hours.

flamingzigzag In reply to ??? [2006-12-20 03:06:57 +0000 UTC]

for step 5 you could just pick the sketchy color as the background color to begin with, and move it to a white space. no extra step is needed.

also. i think this is awesome. it seems very helpful. i dont need it, but im sure i can recommend it to someone

Ooo...soem good tips there i didnt know before. How to change the ineart colour for example. Sigh, i really need to get a tablet. I end up scanning pics in, then spending years just trying to get the lineart done though. My avatar i did in paint entirely though. Thats took hours to get all the proprtions right.

Awesome tutorial.

MS Paint has hidden talents. Who knew? Well, besides you, of course...

Wow. I like. If I knew paint could do this, I would have stuck with it instead of learning PS. All my friends would have hated and loved me at the same time. heh.

Thanks. Awesome tutorial.
