im amazed that people can do this stuff. You should watch the guy that paints the mona lisa in msp thats a amazing
i have seen that on youtube...it's so amazing but the way that he starts out is kinda odd, i think
all i really use as my main tool is the curve tool and my imagination...i'v been told i'm pretty creative.
half of this stuff i kinda just drew a line or two and said "what can i make this into?"
i'm also not cheap, i do everything with a mouse not anything with a stylus (i think it gives it a better more comp. made look)

Wow that's amazing, all I can do on MSP is edit pictures...or just do a bunch of scribbles.
i just started drawing with ms paint like 3 days ago so these are all i'v done to practice...but i do draw alot so that might help.
but i do use one or two very basic guide lines to start off the pic but after those are covered they get erased and then i start doing thins without even knowing why until a little later on...i think it's because i have a mental picture of it but i don't know about it. what ever
no one has posted anything but me i want to know who else can draw in microsoft paint.
ya thats all i used to be able to do until i found the curve tool

yes there's a curve tool in ms paint it's the squiggly line beside the "line tool". it is almost like drawing it by hand only a little easier...my mouse tends to jump from on place to the other when ever i try to use the pencil or paintbrush alone, it's really annoying that's why i use the line and curve tools

paradoxdj you should get photoshop cs3 theres a way to hack it when you download the 30 demo. The only "hacking" skills you need is to move a file to a location
Paint.NET is waaaaaaaaaaay better than MSPaint, think of it as a unofficial v2.0. and it's free! woot!
Wait, here's the link Paint.NET.
There is, of course, the gimp, but I think it sucks... it's nowhere near photoshop (and nowhere near as expensive), but I think the gimp is for people who enjoy linux a bit too much. too complicated compared to paint.net or photoshop. and since photoshop costs as much as my pc or more, i think paint.net is really the best.
BTW, your images look great, but: with a mouse? you've got serious talent, consider getting a graphic tablet. Go for a Wacom. I got a cheap one from some other firm, and it sucked. I really enjoyed my Wacom, but i didn't use it much so i gave it away. Small is fine, you don't have to move your arm as much with smaller tablets

Some artists might get offended by saying drawing with a stylus is 'cheap'. Mice do not have pressure sensitivity or stroke angles so a lot of styles will require the use of a tablet. Styluses are also a natural preference for many traditional artists who have turned to the digital canvas.
Wacoms are *very* nice. I bought a small one when I was back in college (it was like 100 bucks or something) and it still works great. I'd love to have one of the giant tablets now that I'm working professionally but the cost on the particular one I want is a bit prohibitive still
You can use wacoms to emulate rough, textured Japanese Woodblock prints but *also* to do crisp, vector illustrations. You can get a lot of variety when using them with software like Adobe PS, Illustrator, or Corel Painter. These programs have a variety of advantages such as...layers, custom brushes, textures, resolution tuning, color correction, pressure sensitivity, rich color palettes, etc etc. Truly, Adobe's gift to man. You can obtain copies of these programs without...shall we say, breaking the piggy bank
Tablets can make drawing more intuitive but I wouldn't say it's any easier. Tablets cannot make a 'bad' artist good...they're like any other medium in this regard and they certainly have a learning curve!
Good luck with your art
