I had published an article a on Pagalguy of my artworks using MS Paint. After receiving a lot appreciation from you all, I have decided to post a tutorial on how to create such art works all by yourself in 5 simple steps! Follow the below mentioned steps to create an awesome artwork in less than an hour!

  1. Open MS Paint. Press Ctrl+E to open the ‘Image Properties’ window. Enter the width as “50” and the height as “500” as shown below.

Your canvas should look like this now.


2. Fill up the colors diagonally on the canvas as shown below.


3. Press Ctrl+W to open the ‘Resize and Skew’ window. Tick the ‘Percentage’ tab. Uncheck the ‘Maintain Aspect Ratio’ tab so that you can enter the horizontal and vertical size individually. Enter the Horizontal size as “1” and let the vertical size be set at “100” as shown below.


Your canvas should like this now.

4. Press Ctrl+W again. Now enter the Horizontal size as “500” and let the vertical size be set to “100”. Remember to tick the ‘Percentage’ tab and uncheck the ‘Maintain Aspect Ratio’ tab. Repeat this stretching thrice or until you get the desired outcome. On the last resizing, enter the height as as 150 so as to stretch the canvas vertically.

Below is the image after resizing for the second time.

Check out the below image after the fourth resize.

5. From here on, you have to use your imagination and sketching skills to come up with something nice to sketch on the canvas. You can do a simple sketch as illustrated below.
