1) Yup, I mean on the keyboard! Most functions (at least in Gimp that I use) have a keybind, an easier way to access them since there's a lot of functions in the program.

2) Gimp has the magic wand too, it's called "fuzzy select tool" though. Default keybind is U. I know Photoshop has it too, but it costs money and ain't nobody got time for that lol. I'm not sure if Paint 3D has it since I'm not familiar with the program ;-;

The magic wand tool works basically by selecting similar colours in an area, which is perfect for removing backgrounds if the background is very plain. I use it sometimes too if I have one-coloured backgrounds that need to be removed, but generally I find the magic wand isn't very precise and makes the render look kinda sloppy ;-; Especially when rendering things from e.g. screenshots, where there's usually a more complicated background.

And of course, as you said, practice does make perfect! I could do way better renders than the one I posted here if I redraw the lines and clean it up even more, but most of the time I just don't have the time to invest into that. They look good enough as is, so I don't bother with being suuuuper precise.
