here are some of the things iāve learned while using paintĀ āØ I mainly use the crayon and marker tool so Iāll be focusing on those two tools
blending w crayon is super easy! all you have to do is use the eyedropper tool where the two colors join, and you can repeat as necessary to blend it as much as you want
(i chose these awful colors to show the process a little better lol)
since the maker is translucent, itās a a good tool to find a middle color in general:Ā
take the second color and lay on the first
use the eyedropper tool to pick up the merged color and hit undo
then use the color u got from the eyedropper and repeat steps 1 and 2 until youāre satisfied with the color
Increase/decrease brush size*
*only works if you have a number pad!! ms paint only offers 4 default sizes, so this is super useful for working on details on a small canvas size / filling in areas on a larger canvas
Increase: CTRL and + | Decrease: CTRL and - (+/- on the number pad)
some brushes can be made significantly larger, like the ānatural pencilā with ctrl +
works with all brushes!Ā including the eraser and outline sizes on the line/curve/shape tools
heart shape tool (w/ crayon):
i feel like all old school ms paint users know this already lol but iām going to include it anyway
Set ācolor 1ā³ to the color you want theĀ āmaskā to be on andĀ ācolor 2ā as the color you want to replace color 1 with, then use the eraser tool and right click and youāll stay within color 1
unfortunately it only works well with pixel drawings, so this wouldnāt work if i used the crayon or the colored pencil tool
šš& of course thereās tons of other things you can do in ms paint!!Ā
