Line 7:
* Due to lack of support for digitizer tablets, things tend to either look really wobbly due to the awkwardness of drawing with the mouse or too straight due to usage of line tools.
* Due to a lack of gradient shading support and the difficulty of manipulating patches of colors that aren't ''exactly'' identical, colors tend to be flat.
* Resizing images tend to look shoddy due to the program handling it by adding or subtracting identical rows/columns of pixels; though since at least the XP version, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130121041706/http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4002/gradientgif.gif at least some measure of interpolation is done when sizing down].

Line 22:
Windows 7 features an upgraded Paint that is actually a big improvement. It now supports different brush types for blending images/colors and support for adding objects seamlessly onto the image.
* ''[[MS Paint Masterpieces]]''
* [[Kate Beaton]]'s nonsense comics
Line 29:
* ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'' ([[Artifact Title|only]] [[Jail Break|its very first panel]], [[Artifact Title|though)]]
** Also, ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'', a [[Stylistic Suck]] webcomic [[Show Within a Show|ostensibly created by]] [[Homestuck|Dave Strider]]. Though it's instantly recognisable as a parody of crude MS Paint comics rife with JPEG artifacts, it also isn't actually made in Paint, and [[Reality Is Unrealistic|it couldn't look nearly that bad if it were]] owing to its fairly intensive techniques to achieve such a level of suck.
** A sizable portion of "[[Fanfic|fan]] [[Interactive Comic|adventures]]" on the MSPA forums are done in Paint owing to a lack of easy availability of anything else. A standout example is ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150306064136/http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?29716-Her-Name-Was-Alia Her Name was Alia]'', which is drawn with Paint on a tablet ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130218215418/http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?29716-Her-Name-Was-Alia&p=3831020&viewfull=1#post3831020 see last spoiler of post]). It looks ''gorgeous'' and very much averts the typical traits associated with Paint work.
* [[Daddy Long Legs (webcomic)|Daddy Long Legs's]] creator uses Paint for their comic.
* [[Image Board|4chan]]
** [[Memetic Mutation|9001 hours in MS Paint]].
