Pattr: *"WHY is it easier with a mouse??"*

Petre 5 seconds later: "This is so hard"

For those who want to genuinely try this for SOME reason, and also dont have 200 hours to try and perfect a single line-

>Paint bucket tool is useless with the paintbrushes. Don't use the paintbrushes unless you wanna treat it like a traditional piece and wanna put in every stroke. Use pencil tool!
>Your best friends are Line tool, and Curve tool. It can make your shaky lines look CRISP.
>You can mimic layers in one of three ways. Colour 2 is what the "background" colour is-you can replace or draw inside any section that is only colour 1 using the eraser tool. Or, you can copy the entire canvas, draw whatever you need on the area that is colour 2 without worrying about going over the edge, then paste it back. The rest of your drawing, assuming you didn't use colour 2 anywhere else on your pic, will cover up any overlap. You can use this as a way to replace large amounts of colours without having to go fillbucket everything-copy everything, delete everything (which should fill the entire page as colour 2), change colour 2 to whatever colour 1 is/what you want, then paste it back. YOU MUST ENSURE TRANSPARENT SELECTION IS ON WHEN DOING THIS. You turn it on by clicking the drop down tab beneath "select". Transparent selection works via whatever is colour 2.
>You can do an under sketch underneath, or trace a pic on top by manipulating the black and white option mspaint inexplicably has. No, dont use that option to draw. It can, and WILL, crash your computer. Essentially, paste or draw your undersketch in grey, green, red, anything that ISNT black. If your reference pic has any part that is pure 100% black, get rid of it. Then, draw what you want to keep in black. Ctrl A, right click, invert colour. Then Ctrl E, select black and white, ignore the warning, and bingo! It'll get rid of any part that wasn't pure white. Swap back to colour mode, revert your colours back to normal. Do this as many times as you want, babyy
>I lied theres a third way to mimic layers. Draw what you want, break it up into different colour groups (aka what you want each layer to be), then save a copy of the drawing for each and every "layer". Use tip 4 to isolate each specific colour group, draw and render in everything, then open a completely blank new instance of mspaint. Copy paste everything you've drawn IN ORDER from lowest layer to highest, and make sure your selection is transparent and your colour 2 whatever the background colour is on your layers. Only do this if you want to die.
>You must learn to love and praise bucket tool.
>Theres so many more little things but this comment is already way too long aa
