Ohmigosh! I actually finished that tutorial I kept talking about! *3*

I have had so many people ask me so many questions about my avatars, that I just thought I would sum up everything I have been doing for the past few months into one really, really long JPEG!

If you have any questions about this tutorial please please tell me!

I hope you have fun with this and it's not too confusing. @3@ Pixels are complex creatures!

(And WOWW! I never, EVER thought you guys would like this little tutorial so much! ;333; I can't say thanks enough for ALL the comments and faves. (I never thought anything I did would make it past 1,000!) Really, I can't! Thank you all so much! ;0; )

Q&A:

I don't have ImageReady but I have Photoshop. Help me! Aaagh! D:

No problem! A super-awesome guy, West-Ninja made THIS super awesome tutorial for this one for photoshop users! Woooo!

Where the @#*$ is the pencil tool?!

Just press and hold down the painbrush icon until a little box comes up right next to it. Then you should be able to choose the pencil tool from the box! <3

I don't have the Layers, Optimize and History boxes on MY screen? Why?

GAH. I'm sorry this wasn't in the tutorial - just go to the top bar and click "Window," then choose the boxes you want to see from the dropdown menu!

How on earth do you merge layers?

Press CTRL + E to merge your layer down into the next layer, or go to Layers>Merge Down.

I don't have ImageReady. Whadda I do?

If you don't have ImageReady, you can always make your pixel on MS Paint and then animate it with Jasc AnimationShop. (It's free for 30 days.) Or, if you have photoshop, you can check out West-Ninja's Tutorial .

My background color came out white. Why? ;3;

You might have saved your avatar as a BMP instead of a GIF. And... that's bad. XD You can always go back into ImageReady and erase the white background and save it optimized as a GIF.

What do you mean by "change the opacity"??

I mean that you can change the transparency of the color you are using. In other words, how much you can see through it. (There is an "opacity" bar at the top, see?) That way, you don't have to make a new layer every time you want to change the opacity of your color. :3
