Welcome, Welcome!!!!! (POTATOES) This is my charart tutorial. Please read below to figure out how to make chararts.

Now, to introduce you to your charart teacher; Spottedtail.



Getting the Blanks
(POTATOES) Getting the blanks onto your computer without the background being black is simple, but remember one thing: Never copy and paste it if you copy and paste it, the background is black. All you need to do is right click on them in the gallery and click, "Open link" to get the proper size. then you do ethier two things; you right click on the image a choose "Save image as..." or you take a screen shot. (for most computers, to take a screeen shot, you click the "Prt sc" button on your keyboard, then you paste it in paint/microsoft word.) the way I like to make chararts is to open them in paint (which makes the background white and won't make it transparent), then I use the Pixlr tools for blurring/shading/highlights and other touch ups, then make it transparent. There is a section below about making it tranpsarent.(POTATOES)

Step 1: Filling it in




Step 3: Making it Transparent
Making it transparent is easy. On right side of the screen in pixlr, there are three boxes. The middle one is the layers box, and your charart is listed as the background layer. There should be a little picture of a padlock there, and you should double click it until it becomes a checked box. Then click the Wand Tool and click the white background. Then click 'Edit: Cut" and it should turn into checked grey and white background. that makes it transparent, but only do this when you are finished with it, because if you open it in paint again it won't be transparent anymore.
