Mousetalon's Tutorial
Welcome to my tutorial! I am new at this too, but I have learned a lot and want to help too!

Pixlr Tools
First, it is a good idea to make you familiar with all of the tools '''you should use on pixlr.com. '''

'''Paint Bucket- It looks like it sounds. It's very simple, actually.'''

'''Brush tool- It is a paint brush. You DO NOT use it for shading, mainly for tortoiseshells and tabby cats'''

'''Dodge Tool- You use this tool for highlights and shading. It looks like a large black ball on a stick.'''

'''Burn Tool- Use this for shading. It is next to the dodge tool and looks like a white glove'''

'''Blur Tool- It looks like a drop of water. You use it to blur tabby stripes, tortoiseshell markings, shading, and highlights'''

Sponge Tool- There are two '''settings for the sponge tool- saturate and desaturate. Desaturate dulls the color, and saturate brightens it.'''

Smudge Tool- It looks like a white glove pointing. Use it for tortoiseshells usually.

Shading and Highlights.
'''When doing a cat, it is very important to shade. Let's start off simple. We'll be making a gray she-cat warrior. After taking a cat off of the PCA page, make sure you got the full sized one, and start! First, of course, color it in. '''

When you finish, it should look like this: (below)
