Paint is a standard graphics editor for Windows. And although it cannot boast of wide functionality, it is very easy to work with. This program allows you to create simple drawings and make minor edits to a photo or image. Let's look at what you can draw in Paint.

Paint Tools

Paint has a fairly limited set of features, but it's still worth familiarizing yourself with them before you start drawing.

After launching the program, you will find all available tools on the top panel. There are two tabs available to you: “Home” and “View”. The main tab has the following groups of tools:

  1. "Clipboard" - contains standard options for inserting, cutting and copying an image or a fragment of it.
  2. "Image" - allows you to select, rotate and resize a picture or photo.
  3. "Tools" - contains a small set of brushes and a set of standard drawing tools.
  4. "Shapes" - allows you to add a shape, change the color of its fill and outline, and select the thickness of the line.
  5. "Colors" - allows you to select the color of lines and fill.

In the "View" tab, you have the opportunity to zoom in or out of the image, turn on the ruler, grid and display of the status bar, and also expand the picture to full screen.

How to draw in Paint

You can draw in Paint either using a pencil or brushes, or using shapes. To draw a contour, you need to select a pencil or brush of your choice and draw a line while holding down the mouse button.

If you want to add a shape, simply click on the object you are interested in from the available templates, place the cursor on the canvas and drag in the desired direction. The figure can be moved and its size changed. You can also change the color of its outline and fill. The outline tint is determined by “Color 1” in the toolbar, and the fill tint is determined by “Color 2”. You can apply the texture of one of the available brushes as a fill or outline for an object.

What can you draw in Paint for beginners?

If this is your first time drawing on a computer, then try to draw something simple using template shapes. For example, the simplest building consisting of a rectangle, a triangle and several squares. You can also draw a “smiley” using a circle and lines.

You can draw anything in Paint, it all depends on your imagination. Of course, drawings created in Paint are far from professional paintings, but they are quite suitable as simple illustrations.

How to draw a castle in Paint

A house or a simple person is not the only thing that can be easily and beautifully drawn in Paint. For example, in this program you can depict an entire castle. To do this, draw three rectangles using shapes. The central figure should be lower than the others.

Add three prongs to the top of each rectangle. To do this, you can use a Rectangle shape or draw teeth with a pencil. This way you will have three turrets. On high towers we draw windows using rounded rectangles. We add a gate on the central tower and draw several lines on it.

On the sides you can complete the battlements and the road in front of the gate using the “Line” shape. Once you've finished drawing your outline, use a fill to quickly and easily color your drawing.

How to draw a tree

If you're wondering what's easy to draw in Paint, try drawing a tree. And it can be depicted in different ways. For example, a beautiful tree will turn out from the “Cloud Callout” and “Triangle” shapes; you just need to wipe off a few extra elements with an eraser. You can also draw a tree from several circles and a rectangle.

Three triangles and a square will make a neat Christmas tree. You can make a simpler version using only one triangle.

Scenery

If you are interested in what beautiful things can be drawn in Paint, then try to depict different landscapes using the same shapes in the drawing or drawing lines with a brush. For example, you can draw mountains using triangles, several small trees or fir trees and an oval lake in the middle. You can also create a night sky using stars and a dark blue fill.

Animals

Among other things, in Paint you can draw a variety of animals from geometric shapes. For example, you can depict a fox from four triangles of different sizes, a pair of circles and a “Lightning” shape.

To draw a cat, you can use triangles for the body, ears and tail, a circle for the head and diamonds for the eyes. And to depict a bear, you only need circles and ovals of different sizes.

What can you draw in Paint using cells?

Thanks to the "Enable Grid" function, drawing in cells in Paint is quite easy. You can draw any picture you are interested in, following the instructions or diagram.

For example, let's try to draw an apple. To do this, you first need to go to the "View" tab in "Paint" and turn on "Grid Lines", and then return to the main tab. To make drawing a little easier, you can zoom in on the sheet as much as possible and draw with a pencil, and then enlarge the picture if necessary.

Go to the main tab, select the green color and paint over three cells. After this, we retreat seven cells to the right and paint over three more cells. We return to the first three cells, lower the pencil one square down to the left and paint five cells horizontally. Again we go down and to the left one sector and paint over six cells. Now we paint five cells under the six cells, and then three more below. At this point, the first apple leaf will be ready; for the second leaf on the right, we repeat the same steps in a mirror.

Having drawn both leaves, select a brown color, retreat two cells from the top of the left leaf and draw a vertical line five cells down. Through the center of this line we paint five more cells horizontally, connecting two green sheets. From the bottom of the brown vertical line, paint another cell to the right, then draw the pencil down one cell, again to the right and down.

Now let's start drawing the outline of the apple itself and select black color. Under the branch with leaves, paint three horizontal cells black.

Move the pencil one cell up to the right and paint three more horizontal cells. A little lower on the right, draw two cells horizontally, and then another one diagonally down. After this, draw a line even further to the right two cells down, go down one cell diagonally down and paint five more cells vertically.

Move the pencil one cell down and to the left and paint two squares vertically. We repeat this action below. Draw two more cells diagonally down. We go down one cell and paint three horizontal squares to the left. Then we draw one square upward to the left and two cells horizontally even higher. This way you will get half the outline. We draw the second half as if it were reflected in a mirror. If necessary, you can refer to the image above.

Once you've finished drawing the outline, use the Paint Bucket tool to paint the apple the color you want.

Earlier I wrote that various actions on a computer are performed by using the corresponding programs. So you already know that text is written in a program - a text editor, the simplest of which is called Notepad. You can even draw on a computer using a program - a graphic editor. A text document with a name is a text file. Similarly, a graphic document, such as a photograph, drawing or drawing, is a graphic file.
Work with this type of documents is carried out in graphic editor.

There are different graphic editors, just like text editors. One of the well-known programs is a graphic editor Photoshop with great potential. This program is paid, again far from cheap, sometimes it can be installed on a computer when you purchase it and, of course, is included in the price. There are other free graphic editors that are not inferior in capabilities to the Photoshop editor.

The simplest program - a graphic editor, supplied with the Windows operating system and installed on your computer, is called Paint. For all its simplicity graphic editor Paint knows how to do many useful, interesting and beautiful things. Having mastered this editor, you can later easily use other cooler graphic editors.

Using a graphic editor Paint you can view photos, copy them, cut out part of the photo, put an inscription, and also create your own multi-colored drawing or a painting (if you have artistic abilities), design a personalized greeting card, draw a garden plan, etc.

Place the cursor on the "Start" button in the lower left corner of the monitor screen, move the cursor higher until the inscription "All programs", the inscription will be highlighted in blue.
A column with a list of programs will appear on the right. Move the cursor to the right in this column and select the inscription “Standard” from the list; the inscription will be highlighted in blue.
Another column with a list will appear on the right.
Move the cursor to the right in this column and select the inscription " Paint", the inscription will be highlighted in blue. Click on this inscription.

Attention!

This tutorial was previously written for a previous version of the Paint program included with the Windows XP operating system. Currently, the Windows 10 operating system includes a new version of the Paint graphics editor. The interface (appearance) of the editor has changed, the layout of the panels and some inscriptions have changed. The principle of operation of the program remains the same.
I will show some changes for Windows 10 here in red text, accompanied by new pictures. Read everything else from the previous text.

A window will open, at the top of which there is the inscription “Unnamed - Paint”. In order to expand this window to full screen, select “View” in the top line, select “Zoom” in the drop-down menu, and click “Large”. A large white field appeared in front of us - a space for work. When you zoomed in, not the entire field fit on the screen; scroll engines appeared at the bottom and right. By clicking on them with the left button and holding, you can drag the sliders one to the right, the other down to view the entire image. If this seems inconvenient to you, return the previous scale.

It's time to save our experimental drawing. Click "File, Save As", double click open the "My Documents" folder, there is a "My Pictures" folder in it, open it.
Place the cursor in the "File name" line and enter the name, for example, "Figure_1", do not put quotation marks, do not put a space, instead of a space put an underscore (at the top of the keyboard while simultaneously pressing the Shift key with your left hand) or a dash.
Click "Save". The file name “figure_1.bmp” will appear at the top above the white work field; the computer has added a dot and the extension “bmp”, which is used for this picture file in this graphic editor.

To view an enlarged picture, click on the magnifying glass on the toolbar and at the bottom of the panel, click on the desired magnification scale. At the top of the toolbar there is an "Eraser" button, click on it, then drag along the drawn lines to erase them. You can also select the eraser size at the bottom of the panel. After you have erased something, click “Edit, Undo” in the top line, everything will appear again. Thus the program allows you to undo the last three actions.

You can delete everything drawn in another way. Click Edit, Select All, then click "Del" key on the keyboard. Try it, then return the drawing using the "Edit, Undo" method. Click “Edit, Select All” again, the cursor changes to a cross. Place a cross on the picture, press the left mouse button and, without releasing it, drag the entire picture to the free field. To remove the selection (the dotted line around the picture), click on the free field outside the dotted line.

After you have erased something, click the “Undo” arrow in the top line, everything will appear again. Thus, the program allows you to undo the last three actions.

You can delete everything drawn in another way. In the top line, open the “Select” arrow and select “Select All”.

You can return the drawing using the “Return” arrow.

To remove one of the shapes, open the “Select” button at the top and select “Rectangular Area”.

To delete one of the shapes, click the “Selection” rectangle on the toolbar, place the cursor in the upper left corner above the shape and drag it to the lower right corner, release. The figure is highlighted with a dotted line, press the "Del" key. Undo the last two actions: deleting and moving the picture. Save the document: "File, Save".
Now click the "View, View Picture" button. To return to the previous state, left-click on the picture field.

It's time to save our experimental drawing. Click "File, Save As". In the previous version it was possible to select only the BMP format. In the new version of the Paint editor, other saving formats have appeared, with other extensions. You can use any of them, there are some differences that are not significant for you. The most commonly used JPEG format, providing a small file size.

Windows 10 doesn't have the same My Pictures folder, so click Pictures and create a new Pictures folder, double-click it and save the picture.

If you have artistic abilities and skills, you can draw a portrait of yourself, or an animal, or a flower, and then use it as an avatar, for example in a real-time communication program. To create your own avatar (if you don’t have a photo on your computer), you can draw some geometric pattern or symbol.

Select your pattern using a rectangular selection, click "Edit, Copy to File", your "My Pictures" folder will open, give the file a name, for example "avatar_1", click "Save".
The system will add a dot and the letters "bmp" to the name. You already know that these letters are called extensions and are used to help the computer understand which program should open a given file. The "bmp" extension corresponds to the Paint graphics editor.
The file "avatar_1.bmp" is in the folder. To see how it turned out, click "File, Open", click on the avatar image, then "Open". Read how to insert an avatar in lesson No. 10.

Select your pattern using a rectangular selection, click on the “Crop” button at the top, then: File, Save As, Image in JPG format, your “Pictures” folder will open, give the file a name, for example “avatar_1”, click “Save”. The system will add a dot and the letters "jpg" to the name.

If you want to paint a picture or draw a sketch of the layout of your garden plot, but in the process of work you are afraid that you will spoil everything that has already been drawn, I recommend that from time to time you save intermediate versions of the work under different names, for example, “plan_1, plan_2, plan_3” etc. The final result of the site plan can be called "plan_done", and after reviewing, when you are sure that the sketch is complete and correct, delete all intermediate options.
To delete an unnecessary intermediate file, go to the “My Documents, My Pictures” folder, select the file, click on it, then press the “Del” key.

In the modern world, computerized technology is so developed that from an early age, we get used to gadgets and cannot imagine life without them. For example, paintings created using specialized programs will cause no less delight than those painted with brushes and paints on canvas. Advanced users, designers, artists, use specialized tablets to display graphics. But if you are new to this business and you have a desire to learn how to depict drawings using a computer, decide what exactly you want and what level of your computer knowledge. There are free graphic editors, with the help of their tools you can create spectacular drawings.

What drawing programs are there?

Remember, there are two types of files, vector and raster, their difference is in the set of programs and tools. Without going into a detailed analysis, we note that, in vector files, the image consists of curves, with shading functions. When you open this file, the editor program compiles everything from scratch. But in raster, the picture consists of a set of dots, it is the most universal, but the weight takes up more space.
Before you start studying graphics programs, decide what exactly you want and select the appropriate program:
Adobe Photoshop is a very difficult and powerful graphics editor for beginners. It is more suitable for professional photo processing, design, and websites. It is, of course, possible to learn how to draw using this program, but it will take a lot of time, you will spend a lot of effort, whether you need it.


The next option for your choice is a program called Corel Draw. This is also an advanced editor that helps to recreate images of unusual properties. It is usually used for processing logos and design purposes. Large selection of tools, multitasking.
And so, it is recommended for a beginner with basic computer knowledge to use the standard MS Paint program. Designed for those with little experience, helping to create a simple image. Packed with the usual functions that allow you to draw and edit images.

Introducing Paint

In every Windows, there are native, so to speak, programs that are added to the system initially and are considered standard. They do not require paid updates; among them there is a special Paint program. Of course, this is not a professional editor, its functions are limited, but for a beginner who wants to learn how to draw, this is enough. To get started, click the Start button and find the tab - All Programs. Then the list is Standard, and the Paint shortcut is hidden in it. After launching this program, draw something; on the left are the tools for use. You can select a brush of the desired shade in the palette panel located below. Point the cursor at a readable part of the sheet and use the left mouse button, holding it, to draw an object. Similar actions can be done with the rest of the proposed tools.

After completing the work, you can save the picture if you wish by going to Files, click – Save As, select the intended location, and give the file a name instead of “Untitled”. Please pay attention to the field below - File type, select the desired format, save the image.

Paint Tools

After an introductory acquaintance with the program, we can analyze the actions in detail and proceed to more complex drawings. The panel itself of this program is similar to the Word interface. You already know where the toolbar is, so let’s start to understand them, let’s start drawing and practicing.
A brush is a tool with which we draw something; its functionality allows you to choose a different shape and thickness. We point at the middle of the sheet, that is, our canvas, and according to the description above, draw any image.
A pencil, similar to a brush, allows you to freely draw thin lines.
The Spray tool paints with dots, just like the real thing. You can also change colors.
The next Paint function is Fill, with its help you can fill the entire host with the selected color, giving it a background, as well as individual elements of the picture.
The eraser, like real stationery, erases parts of the image if necessary.
Using the Text function, you can make an arbitrary inscription on the picture. At the same time, an additional panel will appear where you can select the font, size, style. You can also change the background of the text itself.
In addition to arbitrary lines, you have access to tools with ready-made shapes, such as a rectangle, circle, oval, stars and a lot of other geometric shapes. Their size, outline color and elongation can be adjusted as desired.

Drawing lessons in the Paint editor

Now, using the disassembled tools, let’s draw a banal and simple picture. We divide the canvas into two parts, drawing a horizontal line. In the middle of this line, use an eraser to make a small space and insert a rectangle, on top exactly along the contour, draw a triangle and you get a frame, the simplest image of a house. Using fill, we paint the lower part of the horizontal line with green color, this will be our grass, and the upper part can be made slightly blue - it will represent the sky. Using the Spray tool, white, we make clouds, and a black brush, we draw the ticks of birds. Next is the flight of your imagination - draw windows on the house, on the sides of it, tree bushes, also using either a brush or ready-made graphic shapes. And of course, don’t forget about the sun. You can add text, congratulations, making, for example, a postcard, all that remains is to save it.


Changing or adding an inscription on a picture, or inserting/cutting an element on a photo. You just need to go to the panel in File, Open, select an image and work with it. As you can see, this program has a wide range of capabilities, of course, there are also disadvantages. Lack of function, Autosave limits use, do not forget to save your work. And if you make a mistake, you can cancel actions only three steps back; the editor doesn’t remember more.

Graphics tablet

I want to say a little more about computer artistic capabilities. For the convenience of artists and designers, we invented such an interesting gadget. This tool facilitates hand-drawn images directly into the tablet. It consists of a pen (pen), a flat tablet and sometimes a special mouse. Using a special pen, you can draw like a drawing board. Graphic tablets are used, in particular, to create images, similar to working with a classic piece of paper, and are used to transfer finished images to a computer. Many tablets have a transparent, removable plastic cover, under which you can put a picture, a photograph, you can trace the image, copy it.

And the pen on one side is sharp, on the other it is like an eraser, available for erasing blots. In general, the thing is very interesting and multifunctional. But you need to prepare to master this difficult technique.
