Nope, i think this would go in the art gallery section, but you should check tutorials ^^;, and hopefully theyll have the answers there, this will probably be closed anyway XD

The best advise you can probably get regarding MS Paint would be to simply continue to practice using it.

Some basic tips on usage of paint:

1) Don't use paint by itself. You should use it in conjunction with software like Microsoft Word. You know, you can get very basic "3-D rendering" in Microsoft word. Also, in paint, it is very difficult to get patterns, transparency, etc. All these can be done by overlapping layers in Microsoft word with the "fill options" function.

*poketh*

This was done with Microsoft Word and paint.

2) If you still want to use paint by itself, keep note of cutting. The best way to cut is to slowly do it pixel by pixel, but if the background is one colour, then you can select a paste option to remove it. I think, you probably already know this.
But, you must keep in mind- the software is stupid. It can't tell which is inside and which is outside. So, you have to be careful when pasting.

3) Always open up more than one window, and keep a back-up of everything you use. In paint, it is very easy to accidently make a mistake on your image and realise you cannot go back.

4) Yes, you can use something like layer mask. Open up two windows, and do what you want on the top layer on one window. Then, whatever you need to cut out, fill that part in with, let's say, black.
Then, paste it over to another window, and make sure that black is set as transparent. The areas which you filled in black previously will now disappear and you can see something else beneath it.

Where is the "fill options" function in microsoft word?

 

[Composer of Requiems]

Sorry, it was "fill effects". Gomen~

Anyway, if you're not sure where that is, open microsoft word, make a square or any random thing you want.

Right click the square. A small menu should drop down, right? Click on Format Autoshape. Most of the stuff you need are under "Colors and Lines". Just fool around with it ^^

I didn't know you could do that XD. Um, you shouldn't use Paint anyway. Use the GIMP, it's freeware and powerful~

 

[squirtlefan527]

Ok.Thanx!I will do that,Composer of Requim.

You're welcome! You should keep experimenting! Eventually there will be something new you discover. It's fun!

reading that made me curious and with some simple changes, i turned this......

into this...

quite the difference hey!
thanks again, but I have a question, which part of word can make a pic look as if faded into the background? that is whjat I have real problems with

 

[Composer of Requiems]

It still looks kinda pixelated. I suggest you don't change the size of sprites ^^

Fade... you'll have to change the amount of transparency. Under the same area, just below fill settings if I remember correctly.
