hello! do you have any tips for drawing in paint?
I ended up making a little tutorial so. .
My MSpaint workflow!
(not applicable to everyone each person has their own way to use each program)
Start with a sketch!
Do lineart over sketch, and make sure its in a DIFFERENT COLOR!
From here you can isolate the lineart by just erasing the lineart color! (and ctrl + makes the tool your using bigger)
Now we have just the lineart!
From here I color, just using the paint bucket tool and drawing the markings on
Adding the shading, I choose the colors I chose, then use the edit colors tool to make them darker and a slightly different tint.
Now for the painting process, I use this to mix my colors together. Basically find two colors, paint a line inbetween them using this paint brush tool and one of the colors, then select the inbetween color. This is mostly the same as how I paint in other programs.
COLOR TANGENT!! When digitally paintings it is sometimes better to just choose a color that would be inbetween, ESPECIALLY with yellow and blue. Its kinda complicated but how the computer does its calculations it can grey out your colors.
But I basically do the painting mixing and coloring all around the piece, choosing inbetweens everywhere, and smoothing out the shading lines, I tend to go over my lineart here
And Im done!
Just adding a lot of details + I tend to do the bg last
My style depends on which piece im working on, sometimes I use the paint brush for all of the piece so its a lot smoother
This was done with the paint brush in MS Paint (the one I used in the mixing section) but it is still the same process, I would just use the paint brush instead of the pencil
but this one was done entirely with the pencil tool, so its up to you which style your going for
Hope that was helpful, and at least taught some fun ms paint tricks heh. Its really fun to work with because it forces you to work on one layer
