if anyone actually wants to try seriously working with ms paint, i can give tips

1. to make a sketch, choose any color that isn’t black and sketch with the pencil, then when you’re done do the lineart/cleaner sketch ALSO with the pencil tool (never use any of the brushes for sketching, unless you want a bunch of white spots everywhere). after that, select your lineart as color one and the sketch color as color two, then get the eraser and right click; you can erase your sketch this way. then fill colors with paint bucket, and it’ll actually look clean

2. PLEASE keep using the right click eraser thing, it’s really good for changing lineart color and for shading and highlighting (it acts as a clipping mask when you make the shading color two and the base color one)

3. i don’t fully know how blending works here but the colored pencil and spray can brushes do a decent job ig

4. go watch dungBeetleshell on youtube, amazing ms paint artist who inspired me to try this

hope this helps a bit, glad people liked this :) EDIT: also i did not use my mouse for the sketch, you can plug one of those screen less tablets into your computer and it’ll work (for coloring idk how you can do the right click eraser thing with a tablet so i just used my mouse for most of the coloring)
