I took notice on how some folks don't know how to color non transparent bases around here

They end up somtimes having "rat holes" (which are small uncolored parts) or looking lineless/shadeless

Which there's nothing wrong with, especially the lineless and shadeless part, everyone has their own style they prefer!

But I bet some of you would like to have their base art look more solid and not have to finagle with it so much, so that it looks like how they want

But how can ya do that you ask?

Fear not!

For I have made a little tutorial on how to for Ibispaintx☆

Passing down the knowledge I got from DianaTHEchicken on Amino (and the tips I learned over the years on my own)

1. First, you import the base of your choosing!

I'll be using my HiveWing Medowhawk as my example

Mello People!!

2. Now, you go and open up the layers, add one below your base, click on the bases layer, then press where it says "Normal"

Mello People!!

3. This opens a menu on Blending Mode

4. Now pick the Multiply option

Mello People!!

5. Go back down to your color layer below and presto, it colors without messing with the the lines or shading!

Mello People!!

(The reason it is below the base is because on top makes it uh... come out like this lol)

"But Thumper!

What about when it gets outside the lines? Erasing it is SO annoying and tedious!"

6. Well, that's when we go look at the side (for phone users you'll be clicking the pen on the bottom) and click the "Magic Wand" icon

Mello People!!

This brings up a tiny menu that says "Gap Recognition" and it is pre-selected on "Add", which you want, and moving lines around the canvas and base appear

Mello People!!

Now that on its own lets you color behind the base without touching the color you put, or the base

Mello People!!

10. But to color without anything going outside the lines, you click the boxes that have two arrows next to them

Mello People!!

This is the first part!

Here is the second part of the tutorial☆

*"Admiring" meaning you go back somewhat frequently to look at it again because you like looking at it/you're proud of it/etc.
