User:Feathertail Millie/Charart Tutorial

I thought I may as well do one... XD. Anyway- in this tutorial you'll find all sorts of tips on how to create your very own... drum roll... character art!

Part One- The Blanks
If you're using Gimp 2/Photoshop for this, simply paste your selected blank into the photo editor. However, if you're using Pixlr, the online photo editor I reccomend, then right click on the image and select 'Save image as'. You should be able to name it and it will pop up in your downloads. Now open your selected blank into Pixlr.

Part Two- Getting started
First of all, you need to choose a base colour for your cat. Try not to use unnatural colours like purple, red, blue (unless it's blue-grey) or green. Bright colours are uncommon on cats too- so even if it's a natural colour like orange, don't make it bright orange!

Next, colour in parts of the cat such as the nose and pads. Choose an appropriate eye colour for your cat- cat's don't normally have red, black purple eyes so don't choose such colours. Try to choose greens, blues, ambers and golds/yellows. If you have your heart set on purple, choose a pale purplish-blue colour.
