Questions
Hello Spottedhead! Or would you like me to call you SpottedheadRC? I would like to say hi and ask you some questions. This might seem odd but I want to know a little bit about my new apprentice! It isn't an personal questions just I'm curious, Why did you want to be and apprentice? What do you want to learn from this mentor/apprenticeship? What pictures have you gotten approved/withdrawn/declined? Just so I know where to start. I hope that I can help you to improve yourself in the areas you hope to improve!

P.S: Love your cat Spottedhead!

First thing I need you to do: I made many pictures and I need you to tell me which ones are good and which ones need improvement. Here they are:

P.s Please ignore black backgrounds.

Minnowclaw 14:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

I dealeted the pictures so they wouldn't take up space. But that was very good, you just missed that the third one needs shading. I don't know if I'm right, but just so I clareify it, I'm your PCA mentor. I want to test your skills by giving you a task: I need you to make a black warrior with blue eyes.Minnowclaw 22:42, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

I hope this answers your question: If the cat has patches I go over it or I just hit undo. Also, I'm a girl not a boy.Minnowclaw 00:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

Well, when you go on pixlr.com on the bottem of the tool bar there should be a a black box over a white box. Click the black box to change the color. Let me know when your done with the warrior.Minnowclaw 17:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Help, Characters and Questions
I don't mean to be rude when I say this, but when you add chat information to the articles, please make sure they're important first. I think everyone knows that Daisy or Millie will not become leader, so you don't need to add it to their articles. Something like 'so and so's warrior name will be...' or if it concerns kin like on Firestar's chat information. Just things like that, basically. - Skyfeather  '95  18:04, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Spottedhead. I wanted to inform you that Project Characters is back up and we need all the help we can get. On the Project page you can find a list of articles that need the most help, and if you feel that a certain article should be graded Silver or Gold, then you can go on the talk page and nominate them. Everything else, for the most part, is explained on the talk page. Thanks! - <font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 15:15, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Your welcome, and I'll see if I can answer your questions. If I understand you right, their should be a blue link on the left side that says 'Upload Image', upload your charart there and it should save automatically. Put on the bottom of the page under the heading Erin Hunter Chat and then say something like: In a chat with Erin Hunter, it was revealed that his warrior name will be... Put this right before the family section. - <font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 16:39, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry
sorry I didn't get to this earlier, what you need to do is not save it on but above is Subject/headline: there is a strip of small pictures, click the second to last one, the one with the picture and a plus sign. Then click browse, choose the pic you want and upload it.Also it says the signature is invalid. Minnowclaw 14:19, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

very good! The picture has some problems, first of which, the background is black. You will need to ask another PCA member how to make it transparent becuase the instructions I was given aren't working. Next, you have the shading in the right places, but you need to make it slightly smaller and user the blur tool, (tear drop) to make it blended. Next a very small thing is that your eye doesn't have a pupil use this: as a reference on how to do an eye. Last, his left ear is facing you a d and the right one is facing away from you so you need to put the ear pink on his left ear and don't forget to blend it.

I would like it if you could get the background transparent and use that pic, but if none of the people can help you, you can start a new one. Also, please put new messages at the bottom of the page if someone has sent me a message after you so I can find it.

Re: Transparency
Argh - sorry sorry sorry! I thought I'd answered this but realised it never saved. To make an image background transparent in pixlr you need to do as follows:


 * 1) open the image in pixlr
 * 2) go to the right hand side and double click the padlock which shows up next to the layers. This should become a box with a tick in it
 * 3) Select the wand tool
 * 4) click on the background of your image
 * 5) select the eraser tool and run it over the whole image

The background should disappear to show grey and white checks underneath.

lol You worry too much. I am here to be bothered! Any time :) And I'm not mad at you - stop apologizing!!! :) Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 20:07, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Friends
Hi, I noticed you were on. :) Hawkey  Ready for action 20:26, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Warrior
This is pretty good. I see you had a problem with shading and the white patch so here is step by step how you should make the cat: In the color you want for the pelt, go to the brush tool and make sure the hardness is set to 100 before you make a line outlining your patch of what ever you have.(Doesn't apply for tabbies). Then you fill in the rest of the pelt with the color you want. Make sure you put in a bit darker color than white so you can shade. Then you add an eye, don't forget the pupil. Use the picture I sent you as how to do an eye. Take the color you want for the ear pink and put it in making sure it doesn't go over the line. Then don't forget to blend with the blur tool. (Tear drop) Add shading with the burn tool. (pinching hand). This is better than using the color becuase if you go over the line art, the line art is black so it won't look different. Don't forget the blend! Keep going over your shading until you think it's dark enough. Then you should have a good cat.

(p.s) save as a png.

This is very good, but you blended all the lineart which you really don't want to do, actually, you don't want to blend it at all. plus, I can't see shading. Minnowclaw <font color=blue Style=background:yellow>Minnowkit’s Den 16:39, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

It still looks the same. Minnowclaw <font color=blue Style=background:yellow>Minnowkit’s Den 16:55, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
