Resource: (noun) a source of supply, support, or aid, especially one that can be readily drawn upon when needed.

Resources will be guides placed here on how to:

    create unique lineart based on an idea or an image
    edit your unique lineart or already made lineart
    template (shade and highlight) the lineart in question in either a soft cell or hard cell shading style
    color pets via inspiration from an image, or from a color pallette
    using various brushes in your art program to color your pet
    creating an interest thread for your lineart
    creating the shop for your lineart
    hiring employees for your shop
    creating events for your shop
    how to make: in shop credit, etc
    and various other things


Resources need to be thorough in the topic, as to leave no confusion for the reader. Some things may seem kind of a "duh" thing, but it is best to leave nothing out. Think of it as the instructions for a science lab. You need to state the obvious or your experiment may not work. There must also be sufficient pictures so that if there is any doubt left, it is cleared by the picture provided. An example would be the type of brush used for shading (is it the hard line or the soft line brush?).

Resource topics will remain unlocked, in case of questions by the reader on a particular step or section in the resource. Resource videos are double loved by admin if they have helpful video tutorials added in with them, but this is not required.

Anyone posting a resource thread must be helpful to any reader posting questions in there. There is no posting and then leaving it as is. If a reader has a question, the poster must be patient and kind enough to help the reader. No getting angry in the middle because the reader doesn't understand. This is a no-no with the admins.
