A tutorial I wrote for my site. Just testing the waters with this one - I'll likely do more advanced tutorials detailing my actual drawing process. I save incremental copies of all the MS Paints I do for just such an occasion.
NOTE: THIS IS THE FIRST OF A SERIES. THIS FILE STARTS AT THE BASICS AND WILL GET MORE ADVANCED IN LATER VERSIONS. THIS IS NOT THE FINAL AND DEFINITIVE TUTORIAL FOR MS PAINT AS A WHOLE, NOR AM I CLAIMING TO BREAK NEW GROUND OR PRESENT SECRETS THAT NO ONE HAS HEARD OF. THIS INFORMATION IS ALL EASILY ACCESSIBLE OVER THE INTERNET, BUT I WAS REQUESTED TO MAKE ONE MYSELF FOR A SINGLE PERSON. I REPEAT, THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST FILE.

This is nifty. I use MS Paint from time to time, and I didn't know you could do that color replacement thing. That's quite handy. I also didn't know about the third color.
You Says:
Whoa! I didn't know a lot of these! Actually, the only one I knew was the color replacement!
Thanks!
This is the vista version of paint.
The third color only works in the vista version of paint.
This isn't anything too new or interesting.

Wow, the guy who left a comment before me is a piece of shit. Fancy fonts and such, man.

I never knew about the third colour...most of the other stuff I had learned previously. Thanks for making this, now that I know I can have three colours, some things may be easier!

Very informative :3 There are lots of strange little oddities like this.
I sprite a lot, and this damn laptop doesn't have the numpad when I'm so used to resizing the brush like that. Oh well.
I got one for ya. I think this might only work with older versions of Paint, but it's like.. there's a line of pixel right under the last Magnification option [8x]. If you click it, it's like an 9x. :3
I wish you could resize the brushes without the numpad thing.

didn't know about the hotkeys for zooming nor about that third stored color. looks like i might give MS Paint another go!
