Look at some of the other gfx in this forum download them , open paint up and see all the techniques they used were they put the shading etc..

It would also help if you know a little bit about pencil drawing.

First think of something to draw, make the outline in black first , after your done the outline of you gfx , start adding colour , than add shading and last but not lest get rid of the black lines , either go over them with with a darker colour than your useing ex, your using green us a dark green as outline . than save. i'll make something for you hold on.

Here's something i made to help you out its a creature or mine ,
in steps

Step 1: Make the creature outline
Step 2: Colour in with basic colours your going to use to see what looks good.
Step 3: Add shading and smaller details you left out before.
Step 4: Add finishing touches , any shadeing you didnt do , something that you missed etc... , and get rid of black lines.
