User:Nightfall101/Charart Tutorials

Okay, I decided I'd make a charart tutorial :) I really hope this'll help users who are struggling with shading, highlights, ect. I know I did when I first started making chararts xD Enjoy!


 * Note: I use pixlr, so some of the steps might be done differently on GIMP

Step 1:



Well, naturally, you start out with a black charart that you fill in with whatever color you need to

Step 2:



I always start by adding shading. The red indicates where the shading would normally go; and the darker red represents where the shading should be darker.


 * I recommend using the size 70 circular brush with the faded edges. I don't run it in a continuous line; I place the shading where it needs to go using individual clicks.

Step 3:



I add highlights next; the blue indicates where the highlights should go.


 * For this, I use the size 100 circular brush with the faded edges. Like the shading, I don't run it along the pelt in a continuous line.

'''Somtimes you'll need to use different ranges for shading and highlights depending on the pelt color. I usually use highlights for darker pelted cats.'''
