sometimes when ur working on a drawing in mspaint, it will start to inexplicably consider a colour u have used as a new, separate colour, even though its exactly the same. i don't know exactly what will cause it, but i figure it might have to do w/ transparency. it never happens right out the gate, typically happens if i've been working on a drawing for a while.

its worth noting any colour can be added to the third palette row again even if it already exists in the default palette so that alone isn't an indicator that this is ur issue. if you use custom colours a lot, double check their values too.

anyways, its anoying ... as f*ck. thankfully the solution is rlly simple.

select your entire canvas, cut the drawing and re-paste it back in. this should get rid of the problem for every colour on ur pic. saves a lot of wasted time fixing each individual area.

my ko-fi

here's some of my recent stuffs i've done as rqs over on my ko-fi

they're all "pay what you want" mouse drawings i do in mspaint :J i rlly love doing these so i'm eager to do some more. the support would mean a lot to me over xmas season. thanks everyone who has commed me so far for any amount & shared the stuff i'm making

i can do ocs, your fav characters from things, au designs and stuff like that. hope these pics give a good sense of what i can do.

theres a very special appeal to fully embracing ms paint art looking like mspaint art . using their tools & brushes & colours in a way that is obviously, distinctly mspaint. that isn't professional & is purely expressive

sometimes ms paint art tries rlly hard to wow u with the fact that it was made in ms paint. like hyper-realistic , hyper-detailed to lose the impression of any of paint's tools. obv that's cool shit. that is technically very impressive, & shows the power of ms paint as a program. but im more moved & impressed whenever paint is used in a way that celebrates its limits & your own. the kind of work that captures n expands upon the amount of joy ms paint brought to kidz like me, as our first digital art programme. i think its a very valuable thing to keep alive. maybe that's a very personal thing, but that doesnt make it any less true.

ive been getting a rly major push externally to increase da prices on my pwyw commissions. after some thinking i've come up w/ a kind of structure that could work? i love pwyw very deeply so i wanna keep it in some form.

for context, i've been getting a lot better @ drawing in paint, & have a lot of new techniques i rlly like doing, but that obv is making doing these much more time-consuming for me. it has been stressed to me to value my time/effort more for these, so i'm thinking to try this out...

payments £10 and over will get u a piece with colour.

the minimum will still be £3, but anything under £10 will be lineart ONLY !

what do u guys think? sound alright?
