"this is Paul Louis and I like to show you today how to draw cartoons in Microsoft paint. Down here you see that we have our pallet and we have a bunch of different colors. So I'm going to click on red and I'm going to go up to the fill with color, it looks like a spilled paint bucket here. Click on that and I'm going to drop it right into the middle of his shirt, boom, look at that red shirt. I'm going to make his pants blue, so here is a nice blue color, click on that and do the same thing. Bam. Pretty cool, huh? Why don't we, before we color his hair I want his hair to overlap his head a little bit. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to go to the eraser and I'm going to take out this line here, just like that. Then I'm going to take the line tool, you see I did not deselect the blue so that is important, you want to deselect the blue color cause we were using the blue color previously. So I'm going to do to undo select black, now let's continue. Making these little V's like so, it is good that I'm making some mistakes because you get to see how you can fix those mistakes."
