Bunney's Christmas Mouse
Tutorial  Page 5

 

Change your foreground (styles) color to #FF8080 and your background color to #F7F0EB. Using your preset shapes tool, same settings as before, draw and oval shape somewhat smaller then your paw then rotate it to the left like this

 

 

Then go to layers convert to raster and name this layer inner paw. Using your magic wand  select your inner paw and make sure once again that your inner paw is the ONLY thing selected. You may have to go to selections invert again. Then go to selections modify contract by 2 (two). Then apply the same fantastic machines paint engine filter as we use before same settings.  Using your retouch tool  once again same settings as before. Again drag the outer sides to create fur like we have done thru out the entire tutorial.. Once you get your inner paw the way you want it go to edit copy, edit paste as a new selection  then image mirror and place on the other paw. This is what you should have now

 

 

 

Add a new raster layer and name this layer toes. Change your background color back to your mouse color #EEDBCC. Your foreground color should still be set on black, Yes using your preset shapes tool once again *S* using the ellipse shape, create as vector not checked. draw a small oval shape for his toe.

 

We need to do these steps three (3) times. One for each toe, (You may want to add each toe to a different layer) The middle one needs to be larger then the other two. The ones on the ends should be the same size. Rotate each one to the left, then using your magic wand select each one (one at a time is best) and go to selections modify contract, apply your fantastic machines paint engine same settings. Then on each toe, use your retouch tool and use the same technique as we have before pulling the sides out. This is what you should have now

 

 

Now instead of recreating the exact same toes for the other side, go to edit copy, edit paste as a new selection then image mirror for each toe then image mirror and place on the opposite toe. This is what you should have
 
 

 

For the mouse's candy, I have created a piece of candy for you to use, you can use this one I have zipped up for you as a tube or you can create your own. If you chose to use this one unzip it into your psp tubes folder.

Add a new layer name it candy, apply your candy tube in the center of the mouse's body like this (I set my scale to 62 for the candy tube)
 

 

I applied an inner bevel to mine by going to effects, 3D effects, inner bevel and use these settings
 

 

Now all that is left are the hands. Are you tired yet LOL. This one is a long tutorial but I hope you are enjoying it.:0)

Your foreground color should still be set to black, Your background color needs to be the same color you are using for your mouse, I am using #EEDBCC using your preset shapes tool   chose your ellipse shape (circle) draw a long oval shape for his arm like this

 

 

Using your object selector tool   right click on the inside of the arm and go to node edit. Your very bottom node just pull it over toward the candy like this

 

 

Then right clicking on the bottom node go to node type, and chose symmetric. Pull your arrows so that you have a curve in his arm. Once you get your arm the way you want it go to layers, convert to raster and rename this layer arm.

 

Take your draw tool  the colors don't need to be changed, Remember how we did the hat?? Well we are going to do the exact same thing with his arm, Draw a couple curves on the end of his arm like this.

Again we want to apply the same technique we have been using. Use your magic wand select the arm ONLY, then go to selections invert and make sure that the arm is the ONLY thing checked. Then apply the filter fantastic machines, paint engine, and then add the retouch tool technique we have been using, This is your final image thus far

 

 

Now go to edit copy, edit paste as a new selection and then image mirror. Place on the opposite side.

 

Open your layer palette we need to drag your arm layer down below your Paw layer, then highlight your candy layer and drag it below the arm layer.
 

 

Well that's it. You are finally done;))) You can merge visible all layers if you wish. And then tube your mouse:0)) here is the final image

 

 

Go take a break now you deserve it;))) I hope you have enjoyed creating this little guy as much as I have creating it for you.
