      If you click the template, it should expand it into the full size. You can then right click it and ‘Save Image As …’ and put it somewhere on your computer. :)

    do i have to use the template or can i use my drawing i am working on? because my dog i am drawing i an April Fools Day Dachshund (please noone copy my idea) and that dog does not have looooooong ears like i want it to webkinz please tell me so i know what to do! i even got the psf and psi already drawn they are super cool and i would like to actually draw my dog NOT COLOR IT! because it is cooler when you do all the work yourself not just coloring it coloring it and not drawing it is no fun at all to me.

    I love the design a dog contest . it is a great way for webkinz fans to express themselves. but don’t you think us kids would be happier if we got a plush version of our dogs? I mean, kids want to play with a plush AND take care of their pets online. please think about that ganz.

    Matt, I am wondering how do you use the paint brush or colour on Adobe Illustrator (Since you said Ganz uses it for the virtual pets) Because it won’t really work for me so I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to use the paint brush. Thanks!

    • Matt WebkinzFriends says:

      Oh boy, I don’t even know where to start haha. So there are different tools you could use, but the Brush could be use for colouring, though it might be hard to get it looking right. The Brush tool (hotkey:B) will just use a standard stroke of black by default. You can change the colour by clicking the ‘stroke’ box on the tool panel (it should look black with a white square in the middle), and away you go.

      Alternatively, you could change the fill box (the other colour box beside the stroke one you just changed) to colour in between the lines you painted. This would be good for tracing the outline of the template. But honestly, there’s just so much to say that makes it impossible without pictures, haha. The best thing to do would be to look online for tutorials – that’s what I always do. Look up things like using the Pen tool to trace something and how to fill shapes with colour. That should get you started at least.
