Hello Psypokians.

I know...I'm a lowly normal member, but I have great ideas, and I want to make a little guide to help you all. (hopefully it'll be stickied) I didn't find anything like this anywhere. There's how to make simple sigs, but no guide on THIS. So I'm gonna show some of you curious artists how to make "brushes" in Microsoft Paint.

Now some people on this site use Microsoft Paint (like me) to make their sprites. This means we cannot do THAT many things compared to some who use GIMP and other programs. One thing, and a very big thing is that they can make these brushes to give textures and cool colorful effects to their art. One answer, download GIMP and solve ALL of your problems, unless you're like me and you CAN'T download it for some lame and stupid reason. This doesn't stop us from making brushes though. I've figured out how.

Okey doke. I'll turn it over to the pics to tell you.




Cool huh? Well yes, you can make lots of awesome designs with this tactic in paint, but with my example of the smiley thing, try to NOT do that. Use colors that go together well like red and orange.

Using these brushes can make grass, magma, sand, water...AND it could be cooler than the spraybrush, but you can use the spraybrush IN your brush.

So remember the steps:

1. Make a scribble
2. Select it
3. Hold shift, then click and drag.
4. Make an awesome work of art!

The original scribble is your "brush". One thing to do is try out brushes and make a brush sheet. Like one of these. Yes, as the tag says, you MAY borrow my works.:)



The tag on your sheet shouldn't be necessary unless like me you're giving out to the public. And the whole "alien" thing that the Swampert's blabbing about is just 'cuz I'm weird.

OK...that's all I have to say. Feel free to ask questions.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but people already know that. But those brushes are pretty good. Can come in handy when makeing Pokemon Comics.

Oh shoot...

Well uhh...some might not right? Heh heh...

Ooh...how'll I get through this...well thanks for informing me TechMath, but don't you think some newer spriters'll need it?

And ya know...thanks for reminding me, I should try making comics.

*Leaves to go make comics*

Those brushes are AMAZING. I tried them, and they look pretty accurate. The magma/lava looks like real fire. Some aren't as good, like the water. Anyway, how did you do it?

You think they're THAT good?!

Well, I just experimented with them all on a basic terrain. It's just that. Experimentation.

There all really good! (Except the water ) Especially the Magma Lava and Rainbow
But maybe you could show some examples of each brush being used, like you did with the primary example. Otherwise, in the words of Borat, "Very Nice!"

When you invert that first page, you se a regular Swampert. Anyway, I'm one of the newer spriters who didn't know that trick. I'm sure it will help me a lot!

I dont see how this could be useful, besides most people already know that

Try using the trick with one of the brushes. It looks realistic! They are completely and totally amazing, Swampert20! They may help me when I make my comic.

Wow, thats pretty cool. I didnt know about it.

Thanks.... I guess.... I didnt know about that before.
