Tally's Microsoft Paint Guide

Introduction
In this guide I will be showing you the techniques I use when drawing in MS Paint. You will need to practice in order to acheave good results, you will also need patience. To begin a drawing, you must first decide what you're going to draw, wether it's a picture you like, or something you want to create. In this case I'm going to draw Leonadis, from "300" because that movie rocks!

Step 1-Basic Sketch

In this step you should choose a light color, I prefer light grey. Begin by sketching a simple shape (should look kind of like a Scrible). This is just to give an idea of the position and layout of you drawing, these lines will later be erased.

Step 2-Final Out-Line

Select the black color at this point. In this step go over your previous guidelines, and add some detail. This should be you final tamplete befove coloring, so try to make it look as good as possible.

Step 3-Removing The First Guide-lines.

This a fairly quick step. All you need to do is erase the first guidelines. To do this, select the eraser tool. On the color toolbar right click white, and left click the color you used for your first guideline. Press Ctrl + on your Num Pad to make the Eraser bigger. Now erase your guidlines by using the eraser, BUT be careful don't erase by using the left mouse button, insted use the right button, this will erase the grey and leave the black lines.

Shading Styles

Before we move on to the final Step, here are the to main ways of shading in MS Paint. They each have a different effect, which one you use is up to you.

Clean & Neat

Rough & Ruggued

Step 4-Shading

This is your final step, and usually the most challenging, so you have to take your time on it. Once you've chosen your shading technique, you can begin. Start with the drak, and work your way to the light. My drawing turned out ok, but it was pretty small, so I didn't have to many pixels to work with.


The End

Hope you like this tutorial, and I hope you use it :P. Comments and questions are welcomed. Also if there is anything I missed, or if there is anything you want me to add feel free to post it.

Ps. I hope this is on the right board :p.

this is a great guide alas things such as drawing ultimately come down to natural talent. It's very tough to actually "teach" somebody how to draw :( but still great guide and hopefully somebody will be able to use it :)

@ your sticky comment i can tell you right now that it's not. Very few graphics guides are good enough for a sticky, and very few guides in general are good enough for a sticky.

This is AMZAZING! You are phenomenal at drawing! Whenever I try to draw something it ends up looking at something that you'd find stuck to the bottom of your shoe (random comparison I know xP). Do you have a stylus? Because my only excuse is that I have a laptop mouse. Hehe.

Nice guide, I can't draw my way out of a wet paper bag, I usually have to do it pixel-by-pixel in photoshop and whatnot, which takes a million years to do. Good guide though! I will definitely use this.
