Tutorial

Add another layer and name this layer shirt. Make sure your foreground (styles) color is black and set your background color to the same blue you use for your hat, I am using #000080. Using your preset shapes tool We are going to use your rectangle shape again, with these settings

Draw a rectangle just below your snowman's head. Click on the top nodes and bring those in to where they are plush to the snowman's head like this

Using your object selector tool right click on the inside of your rectangle and go to node edit, now while you are editing on your keyboard click ctrl and add 3 more nodes like this

Pull the middle node all the way up to the top of the top line like this

Pull your other two nodes into the middle like this

Now right click and go to quite node editing. Go to layers convert to raster and click ok. You will need to drag this layer below your head layer. I also added my dots to the shirt like I did for the hat, This is optional and really up to you. If you wish to add the dots use your air brush tool like before and the same settings as before. Don't forget to put those on a new layer if you want to use the gaussian blur on them as before. Gaussian blur was set at 1.00.

Add (yes you guessed it) another layer, ( I am a big layer fan as you can see because if one layer gets messed up you just have to go back to that layer and not the entire thing;0)) name this layer buttons, Change your background color to black, both your foreground (styles) color and background colors should both be black now. Using your preset shapes tool

we are going to use the ellipse this time make sure that create as vector is NOT checked, now draw two (2) small buttons on the shirt of your snowman like this

I added a slight drop shadow to the buttons using the same settings as earlier

I just noticed that we didn't do the carrot yet lol. Don't worry I will add that last. But for now add another layer and name this layer body. Change your background color back to the same cream/white you used for your snowman's head I am using #F7F8F0 your foreground (styles) color should still be black, now using your preset shapes tool using the ellipse only this time make sure create as vector IS CHECKED!!
Draw a round oblong shape for the snowman's body. The key point on drawing the body is to make sure it doesn't overlap the shirt, And make him long and oblong here is what mine looks like

Remember this one has been resized I set it as a vector shape incase you need to edit it, Using your magic wand

make sure you are on your body layer and we just want to select his body only!! Nothing else;)) Add another layer so that we can blur it without blurring the entire body. Here is where we are going to add the gray areas to his body. Using your airbrush with these settings

Change your foreground (styles) color to the medium/dark gray used earlier on the snowman's head #808080 and spray some light areas inside the snowman's body. Now go to effects, 3D effects, Gaussian blur and use these settings

We are almost done I promise lol add a new layer and name this layer arm Using your preset shapes tool same settings as for the body, The ellipse and create as vector checked. Draw a long oblong circle for his arm like this

Go to your object selector tool

right click and go to mode edit, bring your top node up to meet the snowman's shirt/body. Bring the left side node out just a little to the left, your bottom node comes up toward the top and your right node goes in toward the left, when you see the arrows drag the arrow out just a little on this node, this is what you should have now

Once you get your arm set the way you want it right click and go to quite node editing, Then go to layers convert to raster. Again using your magic wand make sure you select only the arm and using your air brush with the same settings as before, Change your foreground (styles) color back to gray #808080 add a new layer and spray the arm like you did his body. Then we want to add the gaussian blur using the same settings also. Settings where set at 1.00. Once you get the arm the way you want it go to edit, copy, edit, paste as new layer then image mirror and place this one on the other side of his body. Now these two layers need to be drug down below the head layer so that it sets just below his head like this

This page is getting a little large so I will add the nose on the next page. Want to finally finish up go to page 5. Wow I don't think I have ever had a tutorial with 5 pages lol sorry this one is pretty long. Took me a while to write this one.
