It's a soft mottle-like texture. Which it looks really neat and if anyone nominates it for that I'm gonna like, idk, feed you to the Dark Forest or something.

So I guess I'll just scribble at paintbrush size 4 or something and blur to get mottled texture. Again, everything is from the apprentice image. IDK I guess it looks more like brindled right now. Firetail :D Sharks are OSM 23:17, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Honestly I can't see any of the shading. Well, I can see where you put it. Let me help you; you need to put shading in the places where they would be hidden from the sun. First you have to choose a lightsource(i.e. the light is coming at him < like that, hitting the face, right ear, top of the legs and paws, top of the tail, and the back, which is sticking up because the cat is bent over) and make sure every part of the cat shaded, matches with your chosen lightsource. I recommend checking out some kittypet images that have already been approved, and notice the way they're shaded. Later I can make an example for ya, but honestly this is how you do it in a nutshell. I also recommend using gimp if you are not already, I've found it to be the most easiest program to work with, and trust me I've tried them all. But that is a personal preference, but I highly recommend it. You can also look here at the Apprentice Tutorials for help on shading, coloring, tools, etc. And you can also message me on my talk page, I'd be glad to help you. I hope that made sense..lol.. 13:37, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

plus its like the only free program with a working smudge tool You might want to try making her spots a little more splotchy. Spots on cats aren't usually perfectly circular like that. You might also want to try smudging them instead of blurring to give them a furry look. For the shading, look at kittypets that have already been done. I can make you a redline for the shading, if you like. (A redline is basically a guideline of where you put the shading. You dont have to follow it exactly.) <span style="">15:21 Tue Jan 27

Watch the all-caps..it always comes off wrong to users. And I can get you a redline either tonight or tomorrow morning. even if it's in addition to Gia's I'll still do it. It'll give you an idea of how it pretty much works. =) 01:11, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

http://oi62.tinypic.com/20i6s2a.jpg This is pretty much how I do my shading on my kittypets. The light source is to the top-right, and is clearly visible. This is a comparison of the redline, one blurred and the other not blurred. Can you see how it looks like the blank is almost 3D looking? That's what you ideally want shading to look like. The only thing I did to the original redline image was use the hue and saturation tool to change the color from red to black. The shading on the blurred version does have some issues, but it's just for demonstration purposes so it's okay. The apprentice tutorials are your best friend when you're starting out. On the topic of the image: Darken the earpink just a little bit and define it more. This is looking really great for your first image, keep it up! <span style="">01:18 Wed Jan 28

For blurring shading, use Gaussian Blur. Should be under Filters>Blur>Gaussian Blur on most art programs. <span style="">12:43 Wed Jan 28

Gaussian blur makes the shading appear off, like it's leaking almost, if you're not sure what you're doing or use too strong of a setting. Using the blur tool works just as well, honestly- it's what I use, when I don't smudge the shading.

Define the shading and darken it some - the image looks flat. 19:37, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for being dumb, but I don't understand by leaking 18:14, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

Depending on how the shading is blurred, it sometimes creeps away from the lineart. Do you see on the tail on this dummy image, how it gets lighter as it gets near the lineart? That's what leaking is. This can usually be prevented by making thicker shading near the lineart and outside it (which goes into the waste area of the image), or changing how you blur/smudge it.

They did reserve its so far as I'm concerned... But if not, the shading is leaking on the legs. Also, define the shading everywhere. <span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting;font-size:12px; color:Red; text-shadow:Orange 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;">~ Burntclaw <span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size:11px;color:Red; text-shadow:orange 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;"> Yolo <span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size:11px;color:Red; text-shadow:orange 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;">♫ ♪ 00:08, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

I did change my reservation to something else, so this image is hers. =)

Darken the earpink, I can hardly see it. <span style="">12:48 Fri Jan 30

I think the earpink is fine. Define the shading some more, I can't really see it. 13:25, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

Magpie (KP) - For Approval
this looked better in Photoshop... all colors are from the loner and kit images, which I have the files for both because I'm the OA. The quote says they were taken away by Twolegs...so idk.

Has some of the fur on the lower part of the tail been cut off a bit, or is it my kindle screen? So cute! 17:01, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. I compared it to my other linearts that I have, and they all look the same. I know my iPhone does that every now and again.

Define shading? 18:17, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
