MS Paint Tricks - 1 - "Custom Brushes"

Jul 29, 2009

I noticed that a good 80% (give or take a little) of mission submissions are made in MS Paint. Seeing how so many people use it, I figured I'd share a few cool tricks and features of MS Paint that not many people know about.

To start off this mini-blog series, "Custom Brushes" in MS Paint. In Photoshop, you're able to use different brushes instead of just circle and square. Well, here's a trick to get your own makeshift brushes, even though they may be temporary.

Step 1
Make a new document in paint. Start making a design (nothing too detailed, unless you want to). That design will be your "brush".

Step 2
Zoom out (that is, if you were even zoomed in, like I was). Then, use the selection tool (top right) to select the design. Make sure you have the transparency box clicked.

Step 3
Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard. Now, drag around your mouse- you should now be "brushing" with the design you made. Here's what I made with my custom brush.

Try this trick with different designs, and see what you can come up with!
