On Monday, news broke that Microsoft is planning to end support for MS Paint later this fall. 

For the first time since it was introduced 32 years ago along with Windows 1.0, the programme won’t receive any future updates.

And while those doodles can be hilarious, that doesn’t mean Paint hasn’t been used for something much more impressive.

In fact, dozens of artists have used it to craft amazingly detailed works of art.

From celebrity portraits to beautiful skylines, here are some of the most creative paintings made in MS Paint.
