tool
Use your object selector tool
Once you are happy with the leg, right click and go to quit node editing. Then layers convert to raster and name this layer leg. On your layer palette drag this layer all the way to the bottom. Now go to selections, select all then effects 3D effects, cut out and use these settings
Then go to edit copy edit paste as a new selection then image mirror and place on the opposite side. This is what you should have
You can now add his boots using the tubes I zipped up for you in the beginning of the tutorial. For this tutorial I used my tubes scale at 100. Depending upon the size of your snowman's leg you may have to make that scale larger or smaller. If you do just make sure you sharpen it just a little to make it clearer. Add boot 1 to the left side of your snowman's leg. Once you get it set where you want it go to edit copy, then edit paste as a new selection then image mirror and place on the other leg. This is what you should have
Please keep in mind you do not
have to use these boots you may create your own or you can colorize them if you
wish. These are just used as a guideline for this tutorial. Use your
imagination;)) Take your draw tool
Not much left;))) Now we want to
add the hat. On your layer palette we need to highlight your face layer. Add a
new raster layer and name this layer hat. Using your preset shapes tool
Then go to effects sharpen, sharpen. Now go to effects 3D effects, cut out and use these settings
Then apply another cut out effect only change the vertical and horizontal to -2 (minus two). Now you can add the holly tubes I have provided for you or add your own touch. Make sure you add these on a different layer. If you use the tubes provided you will need to scale them smaller:)) That's all that's left besides animating him. We will do that on the next page. I also went one step further and added a bow tie. This is included in the preset shapes I zipped up for you at the beginning of the tutorial. If you want yours gold like mine change your background color to the snowman gold image. Use your preset shapes tool and browse to find your bowtie preset shape
Add a new raster layer and name this layer bowtie and then draw a bowtie for your snowman. I added a cut out effect by going to effects 3D effects, cut out and used these settings
You snowman should look similar to this.
Next we want to animate the snow So go to page 4 for that. Lets animate This Tutorial © Bunney's Burrow 2001 |
Your foreground (styles) color should still be black, background color should
still be set on white. Use your ellipse shape same settings as you used on your
arms. Create as vector is checked. Draw a oblong shape at the bottom of the
snowman's body like this
and right click on the inside of the leg and go to node edit. We just want to
bring the bottom node up to form almost a straight line bring the two (2) side
nodes in just a little . Top node doesn't really matter at this point because it
will be hid behind the body. 
your settings should still be set change your background color to null like we
did earlier, Your foreground (styles) color is still set to black. Now at the
bottom of each boot draw a line from the point of the toe to the hill to give it
some depth. You may want to zoom in a little to see better what you are doing
*S*. Do this to both boots and then add a hill similar to this
and held down my shift key on the keyboard and brought the right hand node
down a little to give it some depth like this
