^_^ Ever wonder how to use MS-Paint?

This is gonna be UBER short, so just lay back.

I like starting with a black background (Black on white is SO old school).
Select the fill, and left click to make the background black.
^_^ Then pick up the spray paint!


Change your spray paint to it's largest setting, and make a general outline of what you want to draw.
I am gonna do a tree kinda thing.


Now for some finner detail:
Change your spray paint to the SMALLEST setting, and paint all the left edges white.
^_^ Cause in my picture, the light source is off screen, stage left.


Swap back to the big spray, and go over it all with black, very quickly.
The objective is to soften all the hard edges and create a series of transitions from VERY black to VERY...
Well, it looks kinda gray really, since were going over it with black.
Feel free to swap to the small and put emphases on some of the bits.


For the background, since it's gonna be general, I went to the biggest spray possible.
Just make sure that most of the background goes the same direction
(not spirals), so that it doesn't feel so flat.


I went back over it with the large black to soften the color,
as well as the small black to emphasize edges and small white to emphasize glares.
You can also clean up the starting points where you did the background.


^_^ I feel like adding someone, so I go back to the large white brush, and fuzz in the general shape...


And then etch out the details and crisp up the edges.


And viola, a MS-Paint drawing!
