Bunney's Fallen Snowman Page 2 Add a new raster layer and name this layer blade.
Using your draw tool
If you are not steady with drawing using the freehand line. You may want to chose the single line to do this step. Now draw a line going slanted down the bottom of your snowman's foot like this.
Draw a small hook on the end like this. Keep in mind that if you changed your line to single line you will have to change it back to freehand line to draw the hook part *S*. This is what you should have.
I added the eye candy glass effect to my blade but that's up to you. It just made it a little shiny. I have added a drop shadow to my blade but this is optional. Now once you have your blade the way you want it, open your layer palette and duplicate this layer and then go to image mirror and place on the other side of his foot. This is what you should have.
Add a new raster layer and name this layer head.
Using your preset shapes tool
Make sure you change your background back to white and foreground should still be set on black. Draw a ellipse for your snowman's head. Now go to selections, select all, selections float. The marching ants will be around your head. Go to effects, 3D effects, cut out and use the same settings as before.
Apply another cut out effect only change the
vertical and horizontal to a 3 (three). Add a new raster layer and name this
layer shadow use your airbrush tool
Open your layer palette and place an x on these layers
Merge visible the layers remaining and rename this layer head. You can take the x's off the layers now so that you can view those;)) Now using your preset shapes tool again we are going to draw the arms. Use these settings.
We don't want to add another layer this time because we will be working with vectors and vectors create their own layers. So using your preset shapes tool draw an oval oblong shape for the snowman's arm.
Move your mouse over the inside of your vector
shape till you see the two arrows. Take the arrow and rotate it to the left. Now
using your object selector tool
Now place an x over these layers
Merge visible the remaining layers and rename this layer arm. Now go to selections, select none. Make sure you are on your arm layer and duplicate this layer and then go to image mirror and place on the other side of your snowman's body. Your snowman should now look something like this.

change your background color to null. Your foreground (styles) color should
still be set at black. Use these settings. 
with these settings as before.
same settings as before and spray along the outer sides of your snowman's head.
Then go to effects, blur, gaussian blur and use the same settings as before.
right click and go to node edit, then bring the two side nodes in just a little.
The top and bottom really doesn't matter that much because they will be hidden.
Once you get your arm set the way you want it right click again and go to quit
node editing. Then go to layers convert to raster and rename this layer arm. We
want this layer all the way to the bottom so go to layers, arrange, send to
bottom. Now once again go to selections, select all, then selections float so
that the marching ants are around his arm. Apply the same cut out effect make
sure you do both the 3 (three) and the -3 (minus three). Add the new raster
layer and name this layer shadow. Take your airbrush tool and spray around your
arm like we did before. Apply the same gaussian blur effect using same settings
as before. This is what you should have.
