"this is Paul Louis and I like to show you today how to draw cartoons in Microsoft paint. Now since we are in this line tool here let's go right above his eye and hold down that left mouse button and drag a line like that and another line like that. Then another one inside the eye on each eye to represent his eye lids. Let's give our character a little more detail now, we are going to continue to use this line tool, make a little line right there a little slanted line in the ear. You know what? That nose, let me fix the size of that nose. I'm going to click on the eraser and I'm just going to erase part of the line there so that his nose blends in with his face. Now let's add an environment for this character or some kind of ground he is standing on. Click on the line tool and right behind him let's just drag out a long line like that and if it was continuing behind him in this direction. We'll pick it up right about here."
