I don't really like the tutorial. It's too simplistic and seems like just a recolor of the already existing cursor. I think ... to make the tutorial better, actually MAKE a custom cursor, not just color a hand yellow.

Some things that may help you make this better.

1. Use a different shape and name for your cursor not just the human glove. Be creative.

2. Further adjust your grammar. 2nd paragraph is a good example of what you need to fix. "When it's time to paint you can freely use my template, that includes all of the alpha channels if you edit the shape you have to edit so they fit. I will explain a little later in this tutorial" does not make sense.

3. Tighten up your spacing. There are quite a few unnecessary blank lines between sentences.

4. Capitalization. Location, location, location!

5. Punctuation. Can. Better. Sentences. Make.

6. "the hands in the Top is the animation shown when the cursor is over a unit" would be better written; "The hands at the top are the animation sequence that is shown normally." Then you have some blank lines in the image. Those blank lines and what you have written doesn't mean anything to someone who has not had experience with image manipulation. You need to explain with more information and more pictures of the cursors (in color and the alpha channels). Re-write your sentences with the suggestions Pigger showed you.

Don't take our comments too personal. The reason we are being hard on you is that you have submitted this as a tutorial. As a tutorial it needs to be of a high standard so that TheHelper's tutorials are actually useful. I think this does have the potential to be more useful than it is at the moment. But you should also probably be aware that a custom cursor is not extremely popular. Most other mappers are focused on User Interfaces at the most and just models at the least. I would say that this "tutorial" caters to about < 3% of mappers.
