"Today I'm going to teach you how to draw cartoon animals in Microsoft Paint. Then use the brush up here and click on red down here and just draw in the tongue that you want to draw in. We can fill the background with purple whatever you want your background to be and you have a pretty neat character there. Look at him pretty neat cartoon dog character. I don't know if my dog is moving around the background interfering with the tutorial but our character is pretty well behaved over here. So you can use a lot of detail make a line on the palm of the hand there and you can start having fun with it. You can even use the text tool over here and you can make words appearing on the screen what the character is saying something. You can save this as a JPEG or a Bitmap file and send it to people send it to friends and family, email it and create your own little greeting card. So there is endless possibilities in Microsoft Paint as you can plainly see and it's by simply using the shapes and the lines and the eraser. So go out there and be creative, on behalf of Expert Village this is Paul Louis and I thank you for watching, bye bye."
