Now making sure that your background color is again set on the yellow we have used for the body. I am using #FFFF80. Your Foreground color is still set to black. Using your present shapes tool make sure vector IS CHECKED browse to the present shape eclipse like you used on the chicks head. Now draw a small shape similar to this We will be editing it

 

So go to your object selector tool and right click in the center of your shape and go to node edit.. We will be moving the top node down to form a semi flat top, move the left and right nodes in just a little and the bottom node needs to come down like this

 

Once your get the wing in the shape you want it right click again and go to quit node editing.  Click layers convert to raster. Now going back to our draw tool using these settings

 

Go back to the wing you just created and draw a bottom part of the wing like this

 

This just gives it more dept to the wing, Now we want to use our filter paint engine once again. So go to effects, plug-ins filters, fantastic machines, paint engine and once again use the same settings as before.

Edit copy edit paste as new layer , image mirror. And place this wing on the right side ... You can rotate it if you wish to any position..

 

Now for the feet. Add a new layer and name this layer feet. Change your background color back to the orange you used for you beak. Your foreground color should still be black.

Using your present shapes tool use the same eclipse we used on our head draw a long oblong shape for your feet like this

 

We want to edit this shape so using your object selector tool right click on your shape and go to node edit. We need to add some nodes to this shape so using your Ctrl on your keyboard move your curser and add 3 nodes to each bottom part of our leg like this

 

Now we want to edit those nodes we just added.. Using your cursor pull the bottom node out like this

 

 

Now we want to pull node 3 to the right and down a bit and pull node 9 to the left and down a bit

 

This is what you should have after you have pulled 3 and 9 nodes down

Now we want to pull nodes 4 and 5 in to the left and pull nodes 7 and 8 in to the right and node 6 needs to be pulled toward the bottom .

 

Once you have your foot shaped the way you want it right click and click quit node editing. Go to layers convert to raster.  This is what your foot should look like now or something similar. I have already added a texture to my foot so do that now if you want to use the texture.

 

 

 

Now go to edit copy, edit paste as a new layer and image mirror and place this foot on the right side.. These layers need to be under your body layer. So move those layers now. We dont want to merge our layers yet as we may want to change our feet.

Going back to your draw tool and making sure you are on your feet layers. Remember we have two feet layers at this point. Chose a dark orange to draw a few lines on the feet of your chick. Make sure your background color is null before you draw the lines like I have done here

 

We are almost done. Proceed to page 4 to finish our Chicky up:0)
