That is really good! But I'm not the person to ask about joining. To submit a join request, just go here and leave a message. When you do that, I'll add you in. ;) 15:52, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, I understand. Okay then, I'll add you in and I'll even reseerve Ferretclaw's apprentice for you, so no one grabs it before you are allowed to edit. Just look at the basic guidelines and some tutorials before getting started, and you'll be fine. ^^ 15:56, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

No problem. You're in the charts now, if you want to go look. Also, on the Fetterpaw charart, you should smudge the cream into the gray like it is on his warrior charart, and make the gray on his face wrap around his eyes. Other than that, it's excellent. ^^ 16:01, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Here's your charart. ^^

Make your smudge tool really small when you smear the pelt into itself, so it looks furry. 16:27, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

That's a bit better. ^^ No worries. When you upload it to PCA it should take next no time to finish. 16:41, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

In fact, if you upload the file now I can put it on the approval page for you. 16:41, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I like Ferretclaw. I waited a long time for a name like that. XD 16:42, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, you have a spot on PCA's approval page. Just pay attention to what people say and edit it as you need to. You should eventually be able to respond on your own. Until then, I'll tell them whenever you re-upload. 16:47, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hello there! I'm Sweetflower! I was wondering, would you like a siggie? Just leave me a message on my talk, and I'll get back to you soon! 21:28 Thu Dec 15

Apprentice! ^_^
Hey, Ferretclaw! (Or Icewish, whatever you prefer to be called) I'm excited to be your mentor. So, to start out, which program would you like me to help you with first? Pixlr or GIMP? And, do you use layers? If you don't, it's fine, I'm pretty decent at making chararts without layers. ;) 15:32, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Mmkay, you use layers, that's good. For GIMP, that was the program I had always used, as I had never known about Pixlr until later. It's true, Pixlr is a tad more simple and a little easier, and GIMP is quite a learner, but after you understand GIMP it's super easy and good. If you want, we can start out with Pixlr, and move on to GIMP? 15:37, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Ok. So, for Pixlr, I'm sure you already know a lot of stuff about it. So, is there anything you find difficult with Pixlr? Like a specific cat design, or just something about the program itself? 15:42, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, here we go for tabby styles. You can really get creative with them. There are lined tabbies, wavy tabbies, triangle tabbies, swirled tabbies, Y tabbies, etc. For more tabby styles I suggest that you take a look at Ivystripe's tabby section on her tutorial. In that section there is a picture in the section that she made to show different kinds of realistic tabbies. It really helped me while I was getting my first charart approved.

In Pixlr, I suggest that you guassian blur the stripes layer when you make it, and you can even smudge if you want to. 15:54, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
