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.

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~


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."

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.
