ChibiPaint's Content Oekaki has few boxes that will appear: "Brush" Box, "Layers" Box, "Textures" Box, "Color" Box, "Misc" Box, "Stroke" Box, "Color Swatches" Box and "Tools" Box.
Also, in the top left corner, you have "Edit", "File", etc.
This is clear enough, right? |

ChickenPaint's Content What?! ChickenPaint? ChickenPaint is very similar to the original Oekaki, called ChibiPaint, but is also different in some ways. This will cover the features of ChickenPaint. ChickenPaint has a few boxes that will appear: "Tools Options" box, "Layers" box, "Textures" box, "Color" box, "Misc" box, "Stroke" box, "Color Swatches" box and "Tools" box.

How To…?
...Make Pixels? So, I found some explanations on the forum:
...Do Shading? Take the "Dodge Tool" for highlights and take the "Burn Tool" for shading. That's the easiest way. The harder way is combining lighter and darker tones of the color you want, example: I have normal blue dog. I take lighter blue and make highlights, then lighter blue to make even better highlights. Same with the shading, you just go to darker colors.
Shading-Setting Layer To "Multiply"
...Do Lock Alpha? Add all the layers you want (Background, Color, Lines, etc...And draw lines!), take different colored pen/brush than the background and fill in the place inside of the lines. After you did that, you can click lock alpha button (When color layer is selected.) and careless go all over the place (Actually, you can color without going outside the lines.). I made a tutorial if you still don't get it. It's an editable so give it a try if you want. :3 ...Do Smoothing? 1.In a brush box, select the "Round Soft" type of brush. 2.Make "Smoothing" from 30-40% in brush box. 3.Draw lines. If you want more smoothness, you can eventually go to "Effects">"Blur">"Box Blur" and put "1" in the first box. (Please correct me if I got it wrong.) ...Make Picture Transparent? Before you even save the picture in oekaki, make sure that the "layer 1" is transparent/deleted. Then save the drawing, post it and right-click on it. Click on the "Open Image In New Tab" option. Around the end of the link, there says something like "auto&rev". Change "auto" to "png" so you see "png&rev". That will make the background transparent. ...Do The Crayon/Chalk Effect? In the brush box, you have something called "Scattering". Raise it up to 150-300% and try to draw a little. If it's scattering too much, make it lower to level you like. ...Input/Get Hex Codes? Click the bottom rectangle of the colors box where it shows the current color you are using and it will pop up a box with the hex code of that color. You can also type in hex codes with that box. ...Rotate Canvas? Simply use the rotate tool and rotate the canvas vertically instead of horizontally, this is only supported in ChibiPaint 2.0 and ChickenPaint! ...Change Oekaki Settings? You can do that by clicking this link to change your Oekaki version. |
