User:Riverpelt/Charart Tutorials!

Are you having trouble with chararts? Well, you've come to the right place! I'm gonna show you pretty much everything about how to make chararts, ok? Now let's get started!

Set-Up
Okay, first things first, find a painting website (and DO NOT USE PAINT!) you can either use http://pixlr.com or use GIMP (Which I use!) which you can download for free!

Once you get the "site" of your choosing, go to Project:Imagine's home page and find the charart blank(s) you want to use. Right click the image, then go to "open link", this opens up the image to its full size. From there, right click the full sized image and click on "Save As..." and save it as its original name.

Once that stuff's done, then just open up the charart blank in the site of your choosing, and your ready to start painting!

One-Color Cats
These are the easiest cats to do! Right before you start to color, make a new layer, and change "normal" to "multiply", this prevents the color from covering the charart blanks lines.

Okay, now the first thing to do is paint the blank with the color you want it to be (mine's gonna be orange 'cause I like orange XD) And just start painting (This may take a while)! Make sure that there is no color out of the lines (just make sure it's not visible to the eye.) And you should get something that looks like this! ->

Then you fill in the eye color, with whatever color the cat's eyes are supposed to be (mine are gonna be green) So then it looks like this--->
