MSPaint is actually a very powerful image editor. Here's all the things about MSPaint you probably didn't know.


Brush Scaling

This is pretty much the most basic thing here. You may think that the standard brush sizes in MSPaint only come in the three sizes, right? Wrong.
Open up a new document in paint, select the paintbrush tool, hold Ctrl and press the + button on the numpad. The brush size will grow as big as you need! Amazing, huh?

This technique also works with the line tool, the spraypaint tool, and the eraser tool.

Custom Brushes

This is the one that NOBODY knows - You can make your own custom brushes in paint! Select the pencil tool and draw yourself a small textured brush in X color.
Here's what I did:

Now, select that little image, turn transparency on (Disable Draw opaque), hold shift, and drag it around!

Cool, huh? You can draw ANYTHING and do this. Here's another one I did.
