Re:Mentor
Hiya. Sorry I didn't reply to you on chat before you left. Anyway, If you looking for a mentor, you should post a request here. I don't believe via talk page is the way to go if you're looking for a specific mentor. :3 You can try requesting me, but I actually don't know if you can do that. ^^; 21:30, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Anything?
Er, yeah. Baby steps. First off, You're going to need to know how GIMP works, and all the tools you'll need and how to use them are here, I suggest you read it over, and then message me back if you have any questions :) 23:58, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Well like I said, you can't rush into this and I know you want to start, but you need to know the basics and such before we start. Now, when you ask what fuzzy select means, it sounds like you think that GIMP is strictly for charart making. GIMP is a photo manipulation download that is for all sorts of things, but making chararts is just one of the things that it can be used for. I'm going to teach you the easiest style of making a charart, so you won't even really need to use fuzzy select. And the different between color select and color picker is; with color select you can click a part of an image and then use the color, (Used for copying images onto another charart for the most part, making a deputy image for a warrior) And shading will come soon, but we need to go step by step. :3 And you probably wont need airbrush or dodge/burn, but smudging just ...smudges the colors together. So say you're making a tortie or tabby, you can smudge the stripes/patches to make them look a bit more natural.



Here's an example of smudging, this is my personal charart that I made. I just set the pressure rate to low and smudged the fur color back and forth. That probably doesn't really make much sense, but I can show you at one point.

If everything goes smoothly as I hope it does, we should be making chararts in no time. ^^ 22:59, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

I don't really see why not, sure. 01:39, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, really, I knew you were going to have problems with making a charart, because you still don't know /any/ basics, and all you want to do is get into it. I don't want to sound rude, but you can't do that yet. I've told you three times now that we need to take baby steps, and no, this baby doesn't have long legs.

Things are going to have to go slow, and you're going to have to deal with that, honestly, I've only been a mentor for a few days and you're my first apprentice. This is already difficult for me because I need to teach you everything.

We'll get more done if we go slow and you take time to understand everything that needs to be learned. We're not learning just how to make chararts, here. 21:29, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

No, you're name doesn't get put on the list until you're an appretince. Sorry. And I don't usually make signatures for anyone, so you'll have to ask someone in chat, or look around on userpages/Talk pages until you find someone that has siggy requests open. 22:27, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

Hey~
Hey Thistleflight, you haven't been active in a few days, you still here? 18:05, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, no. I was just wondering since you didn't reply to my last mesage. :3 I'm currently working on something that will demonstrate the basics of making a charart for you. :) 23:19, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Oh! Actually, I didn't put that on your talk page. :3 It's just my personal image, so whenever I upload a new version of my personal image, it changes it there, too. ^^ 21:29, April 15, 2013 (UTC)

:3
Pssstt, look at what I made for you  04:15, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Oh! Sorry, I meant type on your keyboard. ^^ 00:11, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing you're clicking the + too? By Ctrl+L I meant the Ctrl button and the L button at the same time. :3 22:03, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Well I basically mean exactly that. o3o

Just click the layer in the layer box and hold it down, and drag it where you want it to be. 00:20, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

Honestly, read it through and do /exactly/ what it says and you should be fine. I have absoulutley no other way to explain it 22:22, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

It explains in the tutorial that you need to create a new layer, read it over and you'll see. You should have a Lineart layer that we started with, then you need to create a pelt layer. There is a few more layers that I show in the tutorial also. 22:40, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Just checking in to see how you're doing. ^^ 21:27, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Good! I'm really excited to see what you come up with. :) 22:50, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Typo
Sorry about that Thistle ^^ It's just I have an OC called Adderbite and I must've typed her name by accident. Fixed now, though. SilverstarOfRippleClan (talk) 13:59, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
