Bunney's Fallen Snowman

Page 5

Add a new raster layer and name this layer eyes. Make sure create as vector is NOT checked.  Using your preset shapes tool choose your ellipse shape same settings as before. 

Change both foreground (styles) color and background color to black. Draw a small ellipse shape for the snowman's eye. Using your deformation tool   rotate this eye to the right. I added the eye candy 4000 glass effect to my snowman's eye to give it a shiny look:)) When you get your eye the way you want it open your layer palette and duplicate this layer and then to image mirror. 

Add a new raster layer and name this layer nose. Change your background color to a red. I am using
#C00000. Using your preset shapes tool same settings your ellipse shape. Draw your snowman an oblong nose. I also added the eye candy glass effect to the nose. Play around with those settings till you get something you like;))) This is what you should have.

Your image will not have eyebrows yet. Add a new raster layer and name this layer cheeks.  Change your foreground color to a light pink or peach color. I am using #EDB0AD. Use your airbrush tool with these settings.

Spray your snowman some cheeks like this

Now go to effects, blur, gaussian blur and add a blur with a radius of 12.88. Your snowman should look similar to this. 

Once again your image will not have the eyebrows. We will add those next. *S* Now add a new raster layer and name this layer eyebrows. Make sure this layer is at the top of your layer palette. Go to layers arrange bring to top if you need to. Change your background color to null. Your foreground (styles) color needs to be changed back to black. Using your draw tool with these settings.

Draw your snowman some eyebrows. I added a slight drop shadow to my eyebrows by going to effects, 3D effects, drop shadow and used these settings.

Add a new raster layer and name this layer mouth. Using your draw tool again same settings. Draw your snowman a mouth with the lines going under his cheek like this.

Change your background color to a light yellow or brown for your snowman's hair. I am using #FCE0B0. Add a new layer and name this layer hair. Use your draw tool with these settings.

Make sure your close path is checked for this part. Draw at the top of your snowman's head some loops for his hair.

Make sure this layer is just below your hat fur layer so that it peeks out right below his fur on his hat like the above image. Go to selections, select all, then selections float, make sure the marching ants are only around the hair. Go to effects, 3D effects cut out. and use these settings.

Apply another cut out effect using the same settings only change the second cut out effect to vertical and horizontal of 1 (one). You are almost done. I added a little patch on the snowman's body. This is optional but to do this add a new raster layer and name this layer patch. Change your background color to a fill or color of your choice. This is the one I am using.

Just right click and save as picture to your hard drive open it up in psp. Change your background to pattern fill and browse to find this pattern if you wish to use this one. To do this click on the arrow on your background fill. 

Then click on the box that has the 9 dots in it. Click again on the actual background box and a window will open up this is where you will browse to find your pattern fill.

Click on the one you want and click ok. Using your preset shapes tool we are going to use your rounded rectangle shape with these settings.

Draw a rounded rectangle on your snowman's body. Use your deformation tool to rotate it where you want it. Then go to selections, select all then selections float so that the marching ants are around your rectangle. We want to add a cut out effect by going to effects, 3D effects, cut out and use these settings.

I only added the one cut out effect. Use your draw tool with these settings. 

Make sure you uncheck your close path. Add a new raster layer and name this layer stitches. Draw some lines going around your patch.

I added a slight drop shadow to mine. You are now finished. Merge visible all layers. You can now tube your snowman or save him for later use in a scene. This is what you should now have.
