Description
OK, so sorry I'm not doing my trades in order!
But really, the next trade on the list was a mare with similar colors to my last trade. Maybe I'll alternate between boys and girls. Well, here's a handsome boy! This is Cody, 's character. And, sorry 'bout the background, but Cody is the main attraction, so who cares? 
I hope I got his colors right!

I used MS paint and Gimp, like I always do
I referenced Cody's pose from a stock photo, but I flipped it and changed to legs so much that it's really not the same pose anymore!

i tried to download grass brushes..but i can't find my GIMP brushes folder...i doesn't really matter. My dad's ordering our new imac (yay!) so i'll have to wait because right now we're putting everything on a hard drive, and i might as well download them after i get the computer.
yay! i'll be using Paintbrush instead of MS paint (it's pretty much the same thing) and GIMPMC instead of GIMP 2.6.4 GIMP Mac is cooler because it's design is awesome. I'll still miss have Windows movie maker, iMovies isn't a great program.
I will REALLY miss my mouse, because it's great. We might just keep it.
I'm happy! Kind of..

Oh, I hope you can keep your mouse! So, what will you use if you don't have GIMP? MS paint?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, i'm gonna keep GIMP!!! I dound out i can use it on a mac. I'm gonna use Paintbrush instead of MS paint, which is pretty much the same thing. The mouse might not work, because with macs there's no right click...

Well, as long as you do have some kind of mouse.

Ha! my final respose is that you can put ANY mouse into a mac. But mac mouses look cooler so we might use the one that comes with the computer.

I have pretty much one last question--
How do you paste a drawing of a horse to a background?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, I do that on MS paint. Make sure the horse picture doesn't have a background. Then go to edit and paste from and then find the picture you want and paste.

i don't really get it....but i'll try.
Every time i select, like, a rectangle around the horse, press Ctrl+C (Copy) And then go to the background and press Ctrl+V (Paste), there's a rectangle of white around the horse. That's why I asked this question.

Can you make a tutorial on adding grass, backgronds, and animation? Also, this is great!!!! I love the horse! How does your artwork never get white around it? Whenever save from MS paint and go to the next program its all copyrighted and stuff, do you erase around it?

I haven't made any tutorials on youtube because my screen recorder messes up and I can't do ANYTHING! But, I could take a screenshot of every step and put it here on DA!
