Process
Create a new subheading (===like this===) with your full username (linked), a dash, "Mentor Application", and the current date. Leave a short message with the date you became a warrior (if you can remember it) and the editing program you use. A lead (senior warrior, deputy, or leader) will check to make sure you meet all the requirements, and then will add you in to the table on the mainpage. Once you have been accepted, you may volunteer to become a mentor to a prospective apprentice in the Requests section.

If you wish to have a mentor to guide you in the ways of Project Charart, you may apply here to be assigned a mentor. Create a new subheading (===like this===) with your full username (linked), a dash, "Mentor Request", and the current date. Leave a short message with what you wish to learn and the editing program you use. A mentor may volunteer for you, but if they do not, a lead will assign you a mentor. Once you have been assigned a mentor, you will be added in to the table on the mainpage next to your mentor.

CinderxLion - Mentor Request November 15, 2011
I wish to learn how to do different kinds of tabbies and tortoiseshell cats. I can do solids pretty well, but I need help with shading and earpink. I use Pixlr by the way xD. Star shine ☾The Full Moon Awaits☽ 21:47, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Ms ds nerd - Mentor Request, November 15, 2011
I need help with tortoiseshell cats. And blurring without blurring the lineart. And I use Pixlr. And also, I need help with using the right shade of ear-pink, if you know what I mean. I make it either too dark or too light. 21:59, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Mistypebble - Mentor Request, November 15, 2011
Though I just turned a warrior, I would love some extra help. I really want to be able to make tortouseshell cats, and possibly mottled, too. Maybe also editing lineart... I also use the program Paint.net and Pixlr. I am able to use GIMP, but I find that a bit confusing.

When we're allowed, I'd love to be your mentor :) If it's okay with you, do you mind me just teaching you how to use GIMP and then showing you how to do chararts in that? I've seen that not a lot of mentors use Pixlr, and I don't know how easy it will be for you to get a mentor if you stick to Pixlr. 03:08, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

GIMP seems like a great program, and I would love to learn how to use it. ^-^ I don't usually use Pixlr, (really just to erase waste..) so it will be alright. And I will also like how to do flecked cats, also. :3 M is    t y pe bb le   ♪Goo d day♪ just go with |undefined the flow   03:11, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Kittycat79 - Mentor Request, November 16, 2011
I've been part of this project for something around maybe a year now, as an apprentice. I joined long before the kit rank was added, then taken out again. I have approved 1 Charart (Stormfur's prey-hunter) and had 6 Chararts declined (my version of Stonefur's pale gray alternate kit, Frecklewish's full mc, Russetfur's white deputy alt before the rule that alts from the manga were allowed to be done was added, Fallen Leaves' full ginger softpaw alt, my version of Hawkfrost's dark brown alt, and Hawkfrost's white deputy alt). I need help with torties, and I'm kind of confused with mottled cats. (I use Adobe Photoshop CS and nothing else).- Kittycat79 aka Rowantail 22:49, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Thistleberry - Mentor Request, November 15, 2011
I'd like to learn different styles of tabbies, and I know there are tutorials, but I am terrible. I also would like to learn about how to tell if shading is too dark or not, along with how to tell if an earpink looks good enough. I use GIMP, and have never used anything different. . 23:17, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether we're allowed to volunteer before our request to be a mentor is approved or not, but when it is approved, I'd love to be able to mentor you. I use gimp as my main program and LOVE doing tabbies. If I'm not supposed to volunteer yet, sorry. XD ♔ⓅⓐⓁⓔⒸⓛⒶⓦ♕   ☆StarClan be with you★  00:50, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Sweetflower ~ Mentor Request, November 15, 2011
I'd like to learn different style's of tabbies, torties, patches (xD), scars and unusual markings. I'd like to learn more about shading and highlights, stripes, ear-pink and eyes. I think mainly I want to learn how to do either tabbue's or torties. I use GIMP and GIMP only :). 01:28, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Plus I have no chararts approved. 01:30, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Also mottled cats, and flecked I don't understand how to make them. 01:34, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Like Paleclaw said, I'm not sure if we can volunteer yet, but if so, I'd love to be your mentor :) I can teach you all of that stuff! 01:51, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I'd love you to be my mentor too! 01:54 Wed Nov 16

Sandstormrocks32 ~ Mentor Request, November 15, 2011
I'd like to know how to do tortishells and be better at tabbies. I don't know how to do flecked or mottled cats well. I also want to improve on all of my basic skills. I use pixlr. 02:32, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

OwlXGlitter4EVER ~ Mentor Request, November 16, 2011
I really want a mentor to show me how to understand and create different charart styles. I don't often use layers as I find it too confusing to use. I use pixlr.

I think my strength is solid colored cats. I think I can do tabbies. My mottled and torties are bad I think. I'd like to learn how to do lineart changes, such as tearing the ear. 04:58, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

DJCandyBud ~ Mentor Request, November 16, 2011
I really enjoy making chararts and want to make this project a better place and help it create and fix chararts. I'd love it if I could get a mentor who'd be willing to help me create chararts.

Every time I create a charart, I look at the apprentice tutorials and guidlines. I can use layers. I like the look of my solid cats, tabbies and patched. I don't like the look of my torties, flecked and mottled. If I'm allowed to, I'd like to learn how to do backgrounds for images. My program I use is Pixlr, but I'd be happy to use photoshop, paint and download GIMP. 05:35, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Someone willing to use GIMP? AH! Haha my mentor application hasn't been approved yet, but when it has, I'd like to volunteer to be your mentor :3 05:44 Wed Nov 16

= Graduating =

Process
This section is only for mentors. If you believe your apprentice had learned everything they can possibly learn from you, you may ask them if they wish to graduate. If they agree, you can create a new subheading (===like this===) with your apprentice's full username (linked), a dash, "Graduation", and the current date. Leave a reason why your apprentice is graduating, and a lead will come by and approve your decision by removing your apprentice from the table on the mainpage. Once they do that, you may again volunteer your services to another apprentice.
