This was an artwork I created on JS Paint as a challenge for myself. JS Paint is a copy of Microsoft Paint, except it can be run on any browser without the need to download any external apps. If you are somehow unfamiliar with what Microsoft Paint is, it is a very basic digital drawing/painting tool, equipped with the bare minimum; a pen tool, an eraser, a paint bucket, a brush tool, spray paint, text, & various selection shapes.

I wanted to see if I was able to paint an illustration with limited resources. Seeing as you can’t mix your own colours, I opted for a black & white reference picture. I started by outlining the basic shapes, the face, the hair, the neck, then filled in the darkest shades. I then moved onto the first eye, using the pen tool to sketch, then the spray paint to shade & blend large areas.
