Re:
Ay ouo You seem pretty good at chararts already, which is great. What area do you think you need the most help in? We can start from there. 02:53, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, let's start with tabbies, since you know the most about them and they're easier to teach than the others. You have many style types to deal with (my favorite being the thin style), and when you find a style that you are suited for the best then it's pretty easy. I'll elaborate on the thin tabby style. My thin tabbies were made for Runningstorm or Sandstorm's alt. Then you have the mackrel tabby like Hawkfrost or Marmalade. Tigerheart  is kind of a wavy style, and Squirrelflight is sort of at random and swirly. Which style do you prefer, or would like the most help on? 02:39, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Here is a mackrel tabby. Mackrel's have one center line going down their back, which the stripes connect to. When I make tabbies, I like to think of filling in every large space with a tabby line. Mackrel tabby's have thick stripes, usually, with little short lines in the spaces. See if you can make one. 19:19, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Very good job! I love it. Are there any other tabbies you would like to learn? 00:41, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

The concepts for wavies are pretty simple: make the stripes wavy. I like to curve them around other stripes and make different patterns, or have triangles where two stripes connect as seen in Tigerheart's image. 00:20, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Sure. 00:30, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

I think you're excellent at tabbies already. Is it alright if we move to calicoes? 21:03, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, here's a calico. The colors for the markings are a tan/pale brown and black. Overlap them either way you want, but for this one I put the black on top of the tan. The undercoat is white, so I shaded with a dark blue gray. Smudging is optional, but I think it shows texture. Go ahead and try it. 20:04, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hey!
Hi Bloo! I saw you claimed Quailheart's warrior in PCA. Is there a possibility I could have it? Quail is a pretty vital character to me, and I'd be eternally grateful if I could do his warrior. If you say yes, I can help you find another cool charart to do, which is fairly simple at the moment, considering we have all of those StarClan cat chararts to make, but if no, then that's okay. I figured it would be worth a shot to ask. x3 Thanks for at least taking the time to read this! 03:02, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

That is one wonderful piece of artwork. Just thought I would say that. ouo

Fantastic. The only thing I can see that needs improvement is the shading could be a bit more blurred and thicker. The markings are great. You really are good at chararts. Shall I go to tortoiseshells? 18:04, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, here. I went off to the side and put some dots in a pattern, color selected and copied, and used it as a brush to splatter the pelt with. I used two types of brown and smuged them together, and ta da. You can use this technique (color selecting the pattern of dots) on mottles and specked cats as well. 21:18, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
