Hello from a friendly dA semi-veteran, and a happy welcome to the dA community!
Now, I saw you asking on a monster-dog base about getting an MS Paint version of the base and I just wanted to suggest an art program that might be nice for you to try out if you're interested. I myself only recently found out about it but it's a free art program called FireAlpaca and it's really smooth and easy to use. There's nothing wrong with Paint at all (Hell, that's the program I used when I started out!) but if you're interested, either now or later on in your art-making hobby, for something a little more advanced but still really pleasant to use, I strongly recommend FireAlpaca. It's actually compared to Paint SAI and is considered a free, easier to use version of that.
Sorry if this seems a little weird but I just thought I'd throw a little art advice out there. If I know I would have appreciated knowing about a nice payment-free art program around the time I was using MS if someone had told me about it, so I'd just like to spread the knowledge around.
Welcome again to DeviantArt!
