How to Make Lineart Work in MS Paint

Line art work consists entirely of straight and curved lines and does not include any shading. It is typically drawn on a blank background in a graphics software such as Microsoft Paint. Although line art is usually created with black lines, lines may also be drawn using other colors from the Paint Color box. Use the straight and curved line tools in Paint to create line art work of people or objects.
