concept tips

[MotownMadman11]

ive been trying to get some concepts done but i cant get anything to look halfway decent

could anyone give me some tips on making concepts (all i have is MS paint)?

if you would like to design something a bit more complicated and dont have art skills, get a picture of it off the internet, copy and paste to paint, and go over it in paint colors.

also, dont just use the usual colors, double click a color, and change it to make it your own

hope this helps!

Sounds like you're trying to edit a photo (.jpg or .gif) file in MSPaint.

Best bet:

1. Open a new MSPaint file. Make sure all the colors work properly.

2. On the .jpg/.gif file, Select All.

3. Copy all of photo file.

4. Paste into new (blank) MSPaint file.

5. Go to town with the crazy colors!

Bonus tip:

Save the MSPaint file as a .png file. Saves memory space compared to .bmp bitmap files.
