I've always been an artist, I've always drawn pictures,
我一直是个画画的，也一直都在画画，
and when it comes to digital art and Microsoft Paint, I've taught myself completely.
说到数字绘画和用MS Paint画画，我是完全自学的。
My name is Pat Hines, I'm from Boston, I've lived here my whole life.
我叫帕特·海恩斯，来自波士顿，我一直都住在这儿的。
I'm sure you can hear my accent.
我相信你们听出我的口音了。
The sad thing is I didn't even know I had it until I went to college.
可悲的是，我是上了大学才知道我说话有口音的。
I'm from West Roxbury, which is a part of the city of Boston.
我来自West Roxbury，属于波士顿市。
It's not the toughest part, it's not Southie, it's not Dorchester, it's not Charlestown,
这里不是波士顿最不发达的地区，不是Southie，不是Dorchester，也不是Charlestown，
but it's definitely a part of the city of Boston.
但绝对是波士顿市的一部分。
What got me started in Microsoft Paint and in digital art was I was working at a nursing home when I was in college.
我一开始接触MS Paint和数字绘画是我上大学期间在一家疗养院工作的时候。
I was working overnights .
那个时候我上的是晚班。
And this was before Facebook, or YouTube,
那个时候Facebook，YouTube都还没有出现，
or, you know, I didn't even know if Wikipedia existed back then.
连维基百科有没有都是个问题呢。
I don't like Minesweeper or Solitaire or any of that stuff.
我不喜欢玩儿扫雷或单人纸牌游戏什么的。
It was basically Paint or, you know, I slowly went insane.
我基本上就只是用MS Paint画画，慢慢地就迷上了。
It was just kinda screwing around with it at first,
一开始我只是用它随便涂涂画画，
but as the years went by, I sort of developed a technique.
但随着时间的推移，我慢慢地掌握了一种技巧。
And what I noticed about my work in Paint was that I had an identifiable style,
我注意到我用MS Paint画出来的作品有非常醒目的个人风格，
which I did not have ever when I worked in physical media, with pen and pencil or you know, whatever.
那是我真正用钢笔或者铅笔或是其他任何画笔都没有的风格。
Whenever I worked in other media, I was always aping someone else's style.
因为当我用其他工具画画的时候，我一直都是在模仿别人的风格。
Usually I start off, ironically enough with pencil and paper
讽刺的是，我通常还是会用铅笔和纸开始作画，
and I just do a little thumbnail of the most basic composition.
我会对那副画最基本的框架打一个草稿缩略图。
And from there I open Paint, and I use — it's called the pencil tool —
然后打开微软画画，我用——这个叫做铅笔工具——
and I do a very very rough version of the composition.
画一个非常非常粗略的版本。
And this ends up looking like what most people's idea of MS Paint looks like, it's very squiggly. You know, it's kind of a mess.
画出来的草图就是大多数人印象中用MS Paint画图画出来的效果是一样的，弯弯曲曲的线条，有点乱乱的。
This is basically my version of layers if you were working in Photoshop.
用PS来比较的话，这基本上就是我所有的图层了。
I don't erase those original squiggles, but I go over them.
我不会擦掉那些原始的弯弯曲曲的线条，但是我会对它们进行加工。
And from there I select the line tool and that's when I create the final line art.
这个时候我会选用线条工具，最终版本的线条艺术就是从这里开始的。
I know that's kind of long and involved, but I mean, that's Microsoft Paint.
我知道这有点冗长和复杂，但这就是用MS Paint画画的特点哈哈哈。
It's just the mouse.
这些都是用鼠标画出来的。
I tried using a stylus with other programs, and I tried using it with Paint.
我也试过用手写笔在其他软件里画，试过用手写笔在MS Paint里画。
Only the line tool allows me to create really crisp pictures.
但我还是要用线条工具才能画出真正清晰的图画。
I'm always striving to have no pixels, like, bunched up on each other, no right angles, you know?
我一直在努力地做到没有像素点，像这样相互重叠，没有直角，你知道嘛，
Because if you do it that way, it ends up looking jagged and blocky.
因为如果有的话，最终看起来就会显得参差不齐。
At the beginning I was using the spray can to do a lot of, like, shading and stuff.
一开始我会反复用到喷雾罐上色之类的。
When you press the spray can, all it does is spray out a bunch of pixels randomly.
当你按下喷雾器时，它就会随机喷出一堆像素。
So It took a lot of time to quit the spray can and use the line tool for pretty much everything.
所以，我用了很长时间停止用这个工具，然后用线条工具处理几乎所有的内容。
Although, ironically enough, in one of my pictures,
虽然，讽刺的是，在我的一张画中，
there's graffiti on the walls and I couldn't figure out how to make graffiti in Paint.
墙上有涂鸦，我不知道怎么在MS Paint里涂鸦。
And lo and behold I try the spray can and it works perfectly for it.
所以我就试了一下喷雾罐，谁知道效果特别好哈哈哈哈哈。
