Updated July 21, 2017 Open the MS Paint program by clicking “Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.” Draw your picture with the menu tools or import the image that you intend to change. To import, click “File,” then “Open.” Select the image from your files. Select the tool that you want to use for coloring. The “Pencil” will create thin lines, and the “Paintbrush” will paint thick ones. Use either one to color the picture by hand. For a custom color, click “Colors > Edit Colors > Define Custom Colors” and choose your shade. Use “Airbrush” to colorize with a spotty, spray paint effect. Click on the paint can to select the tool. Detail your picture by choosing the small magnifying glass. Next, click on the area of the picture that you want to see in detail. This will magnify the area. You can even color in pixel by pixel with the “Pencil” tool. When finished, choose the “Magnify” tool once more and click on the picture. It will return to normal size. If you make a mistake, choose Edit, then Undo at the top of the page. Most of the time it will erase your last action. Save frequently when you like your work just in case you make a mistake that you can’t correct later. Warnings Writer Bio
