This tutorial is aimed at getting people used to some of the essential and basic tools that the FREE graphic software Paint.Net has to offer.

Paint.Net can be downloaded FOR FREE at http://www.getpaint.net/

This video covers:

-creating a new picture
-why we should add a new layer before starting
-using the pencil tool
-using the grid function
-using the ruler function
-using the brush tool
-features of the brush tool
-the usefulness of an extra layer to colour your line art

Silly me, though -- I forgot to mention that your pictures can be saved with the button that looks like a disk. Ah well.

This video was made with CamStudio, and the drawing was done with a Graphire 4 graphics tablet, made by Wacom.

  • @SpamHackerzX It's not the program's fault for that [most of the time], when you use the paint bucket, you have to make sure the whole space is "closed" if you drew something. For example, if you were to make a triangle, but you didn't connect the points, the color would "leak out". It also depends on your settings.
