"Pending status"

This is different than "Pending enrollment" (you already took care of this).

This means that we are missing info/documents from you that we need to pay you.

Social security number: you can enter this in yourself, or have me help you.

Methods for creating your avatar in Piskel

  1. Drawing freehand
  2. Tracing your own drawing that you have digitized
  3. Tracing a downloaded image or photo

 


Here is the proper way to copy image elements in Piskel:
(Btw: it's not intuitive!)

First, make sure the image element you want to copy is drawn on a SEPARATE layer.

  1. Use selection tool (Rectangular, or Lasso)
  2. Select the area around the image element
  3. Cmmd/Cntrl+C to copy
  4. Drag selection area (don't click anywhere else!)
  5. Cmmd/Cntrl+V to paste, to finish the process

 

Glitch tools

Actual glitches — data bending — can be tricky and unpredictable. Fortunately, there are tools to create "glitchalikes" — adding effects to your image to make them look like damaged data.
