It’s a common airbrush tool with an infinite palette of colors. Yeah, no; it’s a common painting. How is this any different than using one paintbrush on paper? What?
My painting teacher used to say, if you're good you can make a masterpiece with the best material. If you're very good you can make a masterpiece with any material.
Yay, MS Paint! I really liked that you fixed proportions along the way. You have such an amazing knowledge and application of colors, and it's really mesmerizing to watch your entire painting process unfold, and inspiring too. Thank you for sharing your painting with us! ❤
To be fair people have been doing incredible stuff with ms paint for a long time. Edit - I'm not saying that it's not really impressive though. The best "art" I've made with it is per-pixel tiles made to look 3D
AI “art” just steals human art without permission and does on it deep statistical analysis. Without the human art there is no art for the AI to “train” on.
@@PRIMARYATIAS Thats exactly what i have stated here. I learned painting and editing for over 25 years and now even childs can make art often in better quality and in a fraction of the time it takes especially me as perfectionist to create it.. Its a travesty.
@@Marcus_Berger1701But, the AI itself is an art form too. Someone had to write the programs for every AI art generating tool out there. If the AI is learning from the public domain, is it really stealing or being used without permission? It also takes trial and error to find the "perfect" prompt for the AI. If you want great art from the AI, it will take time to get there. Think we have all seen how bad some AI generated art is. Not saying AI generated art is better than human created art, but they are both "real" art.
@@BalanceHex @BalanceHex Okay, i can't deny thats its art too. ;) I am guilty myself. I am creating picture Ai models myself. Most the time with photos i made myself and with permission of the persons in the photo. I use offline diffusers like fooocus etc. So i know the whole process from A to Z. But i lost my passion for painting. I can create much more creative pics than i am able to create. Thats frustrating af. . Phrases of encouragement like "Paint man, you paint for yourself!!!" doesn't give me comfort at all. And i do think Ai is theft in certain areas. With offline stable diffusion you can steal any style by creating your own ai models by downloading the pics of an artist on instagram. So i am not against AI, i just respect art created with a pencil, brush even if its made in paint or photoshop more. I think its more difficult especially if you project the rapid development of ai tools into the future. Why create a painting over a period of 2 weeks when a child can make similar paintings with Ai in 24 hours. 😉 But yeah, AI is a fun thing and skill and creativity is needed to achieve something outstanding.
This image painting of yours proves that, it is not about cool software with tons of different plugins, but about the skill. And if you understand how to draw an image and make it look realistic, then you don't need any fancy software. As for me, I used MS Paint back in Windows XP days and a bit in Windows 7 days. And since my painting skills is very far from yours, so far as distance from earth to mars, everything that I was painting looked cartoony. Or other words, I don't have understanding of how to paint someone's portrait. And then I don't have enough patience to learn and understand it, so I stuck to what works for me, and for now I'm a 2D spriter, who can also edit images, but who is also very lazy. But I also switched from classic MS Paint to PaintNET, with tons of plugins. And since I don't do anything crazy, PaintNET is more than enough for me. Like, it has many fancy tools that you can download for free, it has possibility to work with different layers and stuff like that. Other words, it's like classic MS Paint but better and has most of the tools that Photoshop and other software has, but they are simple to find and use inside the PaintNET itself. But I'm sure that you know this even without me telling you.
Dude this is so cool to see someone else use MS paint. As someone who just started really using MS paint. I've played around with it a bit in the past, but I recently did two halfway decent pictures with it. And it's very much encouraged me to keep practicing my art. MS paint is a fun tool. It is simplistic and can be difficult using a mouse, but it takes time and practice like any craft. Something I do If I'm not real happy with, say, the black line of a jawline, I will go back in with white to shave the line down, making it look more like a jaw. If I'm a doing black and white portrait. It was excited when I realized for the first time I could do that.
So glad you made that small adjustment to the mouth area. the tiniest change turned the portrait from angry to 'curious' which is the vibe I get from the original picture. amazing work!
Dude what an awesome piece of art. You did awesome, this is my first time stumbling onto your channel and you're cool. subbed. Also, I'm not trying to bring others art down, but it's really refreshing to see someone use these interesting and more raw references instead of instagram models with dull lighting.
Excellent art and excellent narration - nicely specific with principles and technique but still really accessible. Your voice is just so encouraging - makes something this impressive seem totally approachable, haha 😄
I still remember my first attempts at digital art in MS Paint back in 2005. I used my mouse and keyboard shortcuts to create some art which brought me into this insane world of possibilities. Even though I use Procreate and Fresco now, Paint still holds a great place in my mind. Wonderful job with this portrait!
Awesome! Skill is the key! MS Paint was my first painting software. I remember trying my best to paint with a mouse. Seems worth trying with a pen tablet!
Remember: it's not the tool, it's your own talent you've come far. ^w^ everyone who makes fun of "cheap markers" or mspaints should be ashamed of themselves instead. you are amazing because you worked on yourself. not because your utensils are amazing, it's solely because you came this long way.
¡Que loco! Aunque me gusta usar Paint (especialmente, para dar clases del uso del mouse), jamás se me hubiera ocurrido que algo así se podía lograr. INCREÍBLE
While watching this masterpiece being created I was thinking back of Zhaoming Wu's saying that - Light is where the form is, shadow is where the color is...I just realized it's not always like that. So maybe if the local color is dark enough it is different.
I remember someone saying a long time ago that you can technically, theoretically make photo realistic art from scratch using Paint which is very true, you can edit each and every pixel to your liking, the process would be incredibly time consuming but it could be done. When you said Ms-paint my first thought was like XP paint or even older because that's what I'm used top using to the point where even on newer computers I always make it a point to download the XP version of paint because that's just where my muscle-memory is. I used to use it mainly for pixel art but semi-recently I switched to asprite just because it has more features specifically for that kind of thing. but again, theoretically one COULD do the same thing with Asprite that you're doing here. Just like theoretically someone could use Audacity and with excessive generating and editing make a Mozart song
@@stinky9703 Sure thing, I'm not denying that, but it wasn't racist to begin with, and this comment alludes to a mindset of constant victimhood. I'm glad you're able to point obvious things out though champ! You're growing and learning every day.
I think its great to something that challenges yourself, such as a childs portrait. I think you did a fab job though i feel he still looked a little older in the final image still. it makes me think that you've already started to sus out how to improve next time round. incredible to be able to do this. Regardless being in MS paint or not. I met a digital artist that uses a mouse and not a tablet to draw on. Though just works for them.
Paint is basic and i thought i made some great painitngs. silly me. my skill level after seeing this feels like bottom of the ocean. Great work dude just amazing.
I love that you don't do layers because they're so complicated to me and I felt bad drawing and coloring without layers but seeing this gives me so much inspiration and faith in my process as I'm just beginning my digital art journey.
I'm a digital artist and I mostly paint on one layer! I've been drawing on paper for many many years before getting an iPad, and paper&colored pencils only give you one layer to work at, so this is more like a habit thing. I do line art on one layer, and then do another layer to put the values, I do it on two layers so I don't ruin my lineart with erasing. But then when I'm happy with the values I merge the layers and work on just this one layer. On the end I sometimes add extra hues and highlights on new layer, using the Addition blending mode, then merge, back to one layer. Try that, maybe this is a process that will work for you. When I only started with digital, I felt bad about not using many layers too, because every tutorial uses like 10 layers or more for more complicated pieces, but then I realized, that all my life I've been drawing my backgrounds, subjects, faces and eyelashes on one layer - a piece of paper - and it looked good, so why not continue that?
layers are only necessary if you're a professional working for a studio/client. So you can make changes to the design quickly. If you're just a hobbyist do whatever you want. Using a single layer is the same as traditional painting so it's more intuitive.
in recent versions of windows (11 23H2) MS paint now have layers and many good improvements. however as demonstrated here skillful and talented artists can create with virtually anything!
Hey Christian! I started out painting in MS Paint after coming across your older videos. This video you uploaded could not have been timed better as I was myself working on portraits with mouse in MS PAINT, I would like to show you some of my work, and get tips from you first hand. Is there any way I can contact you? Perhaps via mail?
I work in MS paint as well. Never could get the hang of Photo Shop. The difference for me is I draw my art pencil to paper first and then transfer it to MS paint where I add color and detail. Always turns out much better than my free hand art when Its all done. Great portrait!
Very nice! I used to make stuff in MS Paint all the time but about a year ago I noticed I can only use about half the tools. I can see them but they are gray and not clickable/useable.
that's incredible dude that is crazy... Im a professional artist and I doubt I can do this on MS Paint but maybe I should try it, I don't want people to think I get carried by using photoshop haha
Wow, this is so different than the MS paint I grew up with as a kid. It was great for pixel art. 😀 There wasn't this great smoothness. I'll have to check out MS paint again.
I used to experiment with this type of art on MS Paint in Windows 95, though I kept it grayscale because that was difficult enough. The challenge of limited tools, not even smooth brushes was actually quite liberating.
Paint has had layers for a while now if you’re up to date (my windows VM for work is Win11 but not insider anymore, so standard release). They don’t support opacity, but at least they have transparency.

Here's to the people compaining that digital art isn't "real" art.
In ms paint, you just have colors, fixed brush sizes, and a blank canvas. No layers, no fancy blending, no filters, no unlimited undos. You even have to learn color theory to make a palette and make all the color combos work.
Kudos for mastering that severely limited but strangely close to reality program.
The people who complain that digital art isn't real art are also the people who use AI to generate pictures for them to use in shit like advertising.

I draw on multiple layers because it's easier for me to track error and fix it that way (don't need to remove the undamaged part as well)
