(Color instructions below!)

As my FTU (Free To Use) templates are provided for free for the cause of everyone's enjoyment, I'm not allowing people to color them for monetary gain, or for deviantART points. These are freely given to the public, and should remain so. However, in relation to in-game (Pern RP forum) currency, or 'marks', it's allowed so long as it does not tie into real world monetary gain or the dA points system. If you have any questions, please ask!
Thank you! <3

1/9/2015 Note: These are a redraw of my pretty old ones that you can compare to here --> I've been wanting to do it for some time now, so, tada! And I actually colored them so -you- can color them more easily. This was my art warmup this morning, and it was very satisfying. Enjoy!

DO NOT use these for financial gain!
DO ENJOY <3

How To Color?:
#1 For Photoshop and GIMP (?)
Use the selection tool to trace around the Cutie you want
File -> New, then Edit -> Paste
Duplicate the Cutie
Set the TOP layer to 'Multiply'
LOCK the BOTTOM layer
Color over the BOTTOM layer
If the TOP layer needs to be lighter/darker, fiddle around with the Image -> Adjustments settings until things look okay
Merge both layers
Save as PNG <-- IMPORTANT for background transparency and quality

#2 For Photoshop
Use the selection tool to trace around the Cutie you want
File -> New, then Edit -> Paste
Duplicate the Cutie
LOCK the TOP Cutie
Now color on the TOP Cutie layer
Use OVERLAY, SCREEN, or MULTIPLY on the TOP Cutie to see which one works best
Merge both layers
Save as PNG <-- IMPORTANT for background transparency and quality

Whatever way you want to color your Cutie, go for it! The above ways are the most successful for me for coloring templates. HAVE FUN

These Cuties are based off of the dragons in the Dragonriders of Pern books by Anne McCaffery
