If you want to learn how to make graphics, do NOT use ms paint.
Get yourself a freaking scanner (or a wacom tablet mouse), learn to draw by hand, and download the GIMP. (that stands for Gnu Image Manipulation Program).
www.gimp.org
They even have a windows version, and good documentation.
Also, since alpha blending in pngs will be added for v3, it makes drawn sprites even more efficient than before.

Yes you probably will get flamed. Why the hell do you not think that MSpaint is good for graphics? Just because it lacks crappy little automated effects like embossment and stuff that PSP etc have, doesn't mean you can't spin out the most awesome stuff ever on it. I mean wtfs, have you never looked on these forums? Half the stuff on them was made in MSpaint or similar simple programs, and it all looks awesome. I'm learning gfx in mspaint, and im doing pretty well. MSpaint = good. You can't deny it, you just goddamned well can't. In fact, MSpaint probably can't be beaten when it comes to doing pixel art o_o
