That's good, for just using solid colours

Try shading it, it'll look even better.

Oh, and instead of making a new thread for this drawing, i suggest next time just post it in your old thread, otherwise everything gets cluttered (moreso, anyway).

Very nice! =) This reminds me of when all I had to work with was paint and a mouse.

To echo what Scrabino said, you should try playing around with shading. Since MSpaint is such a simple program, shading is the best trick under your belt. It can take a long time, but you can never shade too much when it comes to Paint.

And yes, please post your work in just one thread, we'll find it there.

This is an awesome step up from your previous work, since I tend to abuse MS paint as well I must say that's a very good scrab. It does however need a bit of detail work.

That scrab is very good considering it was done on MS paint.

That's not bad for a start. The lines did some good on the last one, it's more definite now. I'd say the legs are a bit thick, and they could use some outlines as well (I mean, at the top, where they connect to the body).

If you want, you can check one of my old Paint drawings of a Scrab. Just for reference.

That might actually be the ugliest scrab I've ever witnessed. Nah but if you want to improve at paint you should start with dark colors setting the ground, then adding different colors for different layers and use dark lines as finishing touch, the deph in body muscles is mainly constructed by using different shades of a color. This is particullary effective to use in Microsoft Paint since it's such a simple program. Also a shadow on the ground might help with the overall view. White might not be the ideal BG color for a scrab. And what's up with the mouth? It's not a human is it.

Repeat, do it right.
