The Glameow as a Pidgey is tougher than I thought it would be. I tried it, but I'm not happy with how it looks at all. Here are the other two, though.

They all look good.
You pass!

As for your trainers, they look good. The fusing could be better on the Umbreon Espeon ones. And I would've recolored the hair and clothes to match the Pokemon.
Lets start you off with
Pikachu (Pick Trainer)
Rattatta (Pick Trainer)
Mincinno (Pick Trainer)

I think I got better as I went along. I started with Minccino. I did the ears from scratch, since they were entirely too big on the Pokemon sprite...and they're still a little too big. And I know you said to recolor the hair to match the Pokemon...but I think with the Pikachu one it actually looked better with her regular hair color. Pikachu's my favorite of this batch.

The Pikachu is fine with its hair like that. It looks good with the black tips of the ear.

1. I think that's the whole point of Advance Recolors. To create accessories from scratch.

2. Hawaiian hula dancer. See picture below.

1 - Yes. The main thing in Adv. Recolors is to create things from scratch. Be it the palette or accessories.
2 - See chibi's post.

My favorite would have to be Koffing. I feel like the Pachirisu would've looked better if you recolored her hair to look white/grayish. But, it's fine as it is.

The thing that bothers me is you didn't scratch at all. The assignments weren't meant to be fused.
The Duskull doesn't look very halloween-ish. When people think of halloween they thing of orange Jack 'o Lanterns, scary costumes; anything frightening.
Not purple ghosts with G hats. =p
And the Lopunny was meant to be scratched; not fused.
The Mr. Mime was fine, although it would look better with a santa hat or a sack.

Next assignment:
Redo Duskull and Lopunny
This time scratching I don't care if you suck at it. At least attempt it.
Red Tailed Hawk Fearow

They look great. The Vulpix's headpiece looks positioned a bit weird. It would have looked fine with just the ears. The extra "fluff" is what messed it up. The pants look.. bleh. The highlight color messed it up. XD

1 - You always have Google to search themes you don't understand
2 - Scratching means to create markings from scratch. You make every pixel, every color. You make the object or accessory yourself
3 - No. You just need to recolor it to look like that. But you have to follow the way the hawk is colored. Not Fearow.

Not at all. it's fine.
Recolors are when you swap two Pokemon's colors to make them look like the other.
It's the simplest and easiest form of spriting.

Here's some guidelines:
- Never add any markings to the Pokemon. You only change the colors. not markings.
- Always save as .PNG or .GIF. No other file type.
- Remember to recolor the outlines to match the Pokemon's new colors.
- Recolor lightest shade to lightest, darkest to darkest.
Now that that's done, here's your first assignment:

Marill as Hoppip
Cyndaquil as Audino
Cubchoo as Buizel

Well, it's not done correctly.
Embedded image
As you can see, their is your recolored Oshawott and it's official sprite. Notice how Oshawott has shading to give it depth and make it realistic? And noticed how your sprite doesn't?
Yeah. That's not necessarily a good thing. You don't mess with the shading in the sprites. You keep it.
Dont't add any; don't take any.
And you see the colors below the Oshawott?
Those are the colors you used for the outlines. The original ones are on the left. The ones on your sprite are on the right.
They're never supposed to be identical.
Like I've said many times in this thread. Always recolor the outlines to match the new Pokemon's colors.

Hopefully this time you'll get it right.
Once again.
Your sprites are hideous because they have: No shading and no recolored outlines. And they're not recolored fully either.

Disregard Oshawott's missing outlines, by the way.

Audino doesn't have as many colors as you think. Neither does Buizel. I did a bit of improvising, so not all the colors are from the other Pokémon's palette, instead they're custom ones to fit the shading. Oh, and I didn't recolor on Chubchoo's nose bubble. :3

I've got GIMP but I really can't be bothered. What does a transparent background even add to the image? It doesn't even make a difference to the sprite itself.

Just to prove I can do transparency though, go to the "Now Hiring" thread in the VictoryBattles board and look at my posts. I've put at least 40 of them damn sprites in transparent boxes! 3X

Nuuuu it takes TWENTY seconds! First you've gotta add an alpha channel, then delete the white bits with your magic wand, then you've gotta SAVE the freaking thing...

In Paint.net you just use magic wand.. click and Ctrl+X. 5 seconds.

Plus saving time doesn't count haha

pro = better grade

The one thing I don't like is that you didn't fully recolor Cyndaquil and Cubchoo. When I say to recolor everything, I mean everything. XP
The flames, tail, accessories, etc.
Making new shades for extra colors is fine. I do that a lot whenever the Pokemon doesn't have enough colors. As long as they're somewhat relatable to the palette you edited it from.

Whirlipede as Ivysaur
Gurdurr as Machoke
Goldeen as Whiscash

And while we're on the topic of transparency.
I don't care if you make them transparent or not. All I care about is that you do the sprites right or correct. or at least try to if you think you're bad at them.
If you noticed, I never gave anyone extra credit for having transparent backgrounds.
Your sprites aren't going on a front page for everyone to see. So you don't need to worry about it. :3

Making new shades for extra colors is fine. I do that a lot whenever the Pokemon doesn't have enough colors. As long as they're somewhat relatable to the palette you edited it from.

Whirlipede as Ivysaur
Gurdurr as Machoke
Goldeen as Whiscash

And while we're on the topic of transparency.
I don't care if you make them transparent or not. All I care about is that you do the sprites right or correct. or at least try to if you think you're bad at them.
If you noticed, I never gave anyone extra credit for having transparent backgrounds.
Your sprites aren't going on a front page for everyone to see. So you don't need to worry about it. :3
Aww...I didn't get extra credit?

Revamps are taking an old Gen I or Gen II sprite and editing it to make it look newer.
Some people think you just recolor them, but that's not the case.
As always, here's a checklist:
- Edit the shading. The old sprites had no shading, or dithering shading. You have to completely edit the shading to make it look like a new sprite.
- Fix disproportionate parts: If you see a messed up hand. Fix it.
This might involve scratching a finger, or scratching the whole thing. Just fix parts that are messed up.
- Recolor the outlines. The new sprites don't have all black outlines. They have colored ones too.

1) With Advanced Recolors, one of the main points involved in it are basic scratching. Adv. recolors is when you learn how to scratch. Like always, I would love if you can scratch, but if it's too hard for you, feel free to fuse.
2) With Mirage Pokemon, you edit the Pokemon's color palette to make it lighter and give it a light aura. That way it'll look mirage-ish.

Well, the first thing I noticed is the shading. The shading isn't edited in any way. You kept the same shading for every sprite.
I'll show you an example on Nidoran;
Embedded image
If you notice, they have the exact same shading, except the revamp has some minor edits.
Then, we have the outlines. They're all spotty and black, which makes them crappy. You want to have the outlines without any spots, and not all black.
Now here's a revamp I did:
Embedded image
If you noticed, the Revamped Blastoises's shading isn't identical to the Silver sprite. It's completely edited. And the outlines, if you can see, are not spotty like your Nidoran.
When you Revamp, you don't want to have any shading from the original sprite on the new sprite.

A good way to do this is by making the sprite one color respectably.
Make it look flat with no shading. Then, you start shading by adding the highlights. These are the lightest colors of the Pokemon.
Once you get the highlight in, add the shadows. These are the darkest color of the Pokemon.

After you're done with the shading, it's time for the outlines. Make the whole outline all black. Now using the shading you added, adjust the outlines to make it colorful. Where you have a highlight, is where the colored outline will be near.
You never want the outline to be colored where a shadow would be, as the light source will never reach that part of the body.
Understand?

Your next assignment will be to redo the former assignment.

Mewtwo: The Mewtwo looks good. it follows the devil theme I told you. The tail is hideous though. If I hadn't known the theme, I wouldn't of know what it was. Remember, when you scratch you have to add shading too, or it'll make the sprite look bad.
Dragonite: It looks good. The theme was quite simple, and you dulled the original colors.
Registeel: I, honestly, have no idea where your brother got the idea of a chocolate Registeel from a rusty Registeel. They're hardly relatable. Either way, it looks rusty, so it's following the theme.
Mew: I love this one. Although it's fused, it looks excellent. The color scheme looks good, but when I think of angels I usually think of white and yellow, not light pink and light grayish.

Congratulations! You have passed Advanced Recolors.

Your fusions are fairly good for a first try. The fusion with more than 2 Pokemon, is, what I'd have to say your worst. All the parts on the Pokemon are all different colors. When you fuse more than 2 Pokemon, you choose one of the Pokemon's color schemes. You just don't keep them like that.
Some fusions could have some nice, cleaner cuts. When you don't give them a clean cut, it makes the sprite look jagged and bad.

Anyways, let's start with a first assignment:
Charmander and Mudkip (Charmander Base)
Oshawott and Pikachu (Mijumaru base)

Honestly, IMO, the Bastiodon/Rampardos fusion is your best out of all of them. ^o^

The fusions look nice. Like I said before, changing the shading is fine only in Fusions, Devamps, and Revamps. The Oshawott could use a bit more of Pikachu. You could've added it's cheeks. The tail would've looked good too.

Next assignment:
Meditite and Gothita (Pick base)
Cottonee and Petilil (Cottonee base)
Ducklett and Archen (Duckeltt base)

Remember to recolor everything possible. Eyes, arms, bodies, etc.

- Always recolor lightest shade to lightest, darkest to darkest, etc.
- Never edit the Pokemon's shading. Ever.

It should. I recommend using the Paint Brush tool to do the recolors. If you find that you have trouble using it for these, apparently a lot of the spriters around here recommend using Paint.net to do stuff. It's free.

Really, they're not bad for a first try. Minor issues that you'll learn to do as second nature while spriting.

Embedded image
Always make sure you change all of the old colors to the new ones. This includes any edge colors. You can see where I've circled that your Whiscash still has a lot of the old yellow/gold colors left on it, as well as the blue in the tail fin.

Embedded image
Tangrowth has a lot of shading issues, and mis-replacement of colors. In the face, you completely got rid of the shading, which is something you never want to do. You also left some of the old darker grey on the legs, and a lot of the edges and definition lines are the old colors as well.

Embedded image
Your colors on Kabuto were good for the most part. It doesn't look like you colored the eyes at all, though. And again, some of the old colors on the edge at the top are still there.

Naturally, yours don't have to look like the ones I did. I just whipped up some examples for you to show a little better what I was talking about.

Next assignment is:
Gastrodon (either one) recolored as Meinfoo
Moltres recolored as Dratini
Dugtrio recolored as Dusknoir

So...I'll be temporarily taking over while Shiny is busy.

I like the Cottonee/Petilil. It's simple, which really is all you can expect with so little to fuse together on those two.

Ducklett/Archen isn't bad, either. Personally, I'd like to have seen more brought over from Archen, like maybe the wings or the beak.

And before I give you something else, I'd really like to at least see an attempt with Meditite/Gothita. If it helps, try mirroring one of the sprites so that they face the same direction. (CTRL+M is usually the command for it)

Four? I think you're misunderstanding a bit...

You only have to recolor the first one listed, using the colors from the second one.

So, it would be taking Mudkip as a base, and recoloring it using Charmander's colors. Then Pikachu as the base, and using Lillipup's colors. Then Pansear, using Purrloin's colors.

So, that's only a total of three you have to do, not six. I mean, if you want to do that many, go for it...but it's not necessary.

Anorith and Cloyster are fantastic. Anorith did have some pixels here and there that weren't recolored, but not really enough to be noticeable.

And then Togetic. It was kinda bad. Not really sure what you did with the eyes and mouth, but in just Basic Recoloring, you never add or take away things...which is what it looks like you did, I think. You again left pretty much all of the original outline color instead of matching it to Quilfish. And I'm not sure why, but there's a ton of missing pixels around the edge, making it look really jagged and cut up.

Next assignment:
Lickilicky as Natu
Musharna as Spinarak
Leafeon as Combee

If these turn out pretty good, we'll move on to the exam after this.
