~Stinky~

 

This tutorial was written for PSP 7 But can be modified for PSP 6.

 

I hope you enjoy this tutorial as much as I did creating him for you;0)   I had a special request for this little guy (Thanks Dottie)!

 

Lets begin....

 

 

Open a new image 500 by 500. Add a new layer and name this layer body. Go to your present shapes tool  and chose the teardrop using these settings.

 

Both your foreground color and background color should be black. Now draw you a teardrop shape. As fat or as skinny as you want it.  Add a new layer and name this layer body white. Change your foreground and background colors to white. And draw a smaller teardrop inside the black teardrop like this .

 

Your Image will be larger and wont have the fur yet. We will are going to add that next.. We want to merge these two layers . So go to your layers palette

 
and place an X on layer one. Merge visible body and body white layer and rename this layer body.  We are going to use a filter on the body to give him a little fur. You can download paint engine here. Install it into your PSP Plug-ins Folder. After you have paint engine go to effects, plug in filters paint engine and use these settings

 

 

Add a new layer and name this layer head. Going back to your present shapes tool we are going to use heart 1 for our head.

 

Make sure your foreground color is set on black and your background color is set on white.  Use the same settings as we did on our body. Now draw your heart shaped head . Position it over the top part of the teardrop body like this.

 

Go to effects plug-in filters paint engine and use the same settings as we did on our body. 

Add a new layer and name this layer tail. Go to your present shapes and this time we are going to chose starburst 3 . Our foreground color and background colors have not changed you should still have black as your foreground color and white as your background color. Now draw an oblong starburst similar to this one

 

 

Go to effects plug-in filters , paint engine and use the same settings as we have before on our body and head.  Place your tail layer behind your body layer. On your layers palette you should have your head, body, tail and layer 1. Place your tail to the right side of your body like this

 

 

Now don't laugh at this next part LOL. As I didn't really want to mess with vectors on my tail so to get the curve make sure you are on your tail layer  we want to use our selection tool  and select the top part of your tail like this.

Go to edit copy, edit paste as new layer . We need to rotate this image . Go to image rotate and use these settings

 

Now place this section of our tail near the top of his longer tail, like so.

 

Place an X on layers head, body and layer 1 we want to merge our two layers to make one tail. So merge visible your tail layer and the layer you just made for the curve tail rename this layer Tail.


Now we want to add some feet!
