Avatar Tips
I just wanted to make this to help all you guys with your avatars and making them look the best they can. Because avatars represent you right? They should represent your style as much as possible. Now nothing is perfect, but it can be close xD

Today's Tip
Color Placement

When making your avi, I think it is most important to have colors placed evenly for the most part. Some people divide the avatar into several sections. I prefer to divide it into five sections. COlor placing is one of the most basic yet necesary skills needed for good avatar construction. It keeps the avi neat, organized, and helps give you something to work off of. If you don't like the colors, just put another one in its place on the avatar, instead of throwing it on like a bad painting.

Arms--Black
Legs--Blue
Bottom--White
Head--Peach
Torso--Brown


I try to keep the colors even distributed in each section

On the first one, the black is on the feet and the head but nowhere else. For a preferable avatar, the color should be somewhere in each section of the avatar

This avatar is good because there is the blue, white, and black in all four regions of the avatar

Conclusion
So overall, I hope that this little guide can help you learn the most basic of avatar building and if you are one of those people who wants to get better at it, comment if you want me to make more of these
