Bunney's Friendly Ghost

Tutorial

 

 

This tutorial was created using PSP 7 preset shapes. It assumes you have working knowledge of using layers and working with vectors:))

 

Lets Begin

 

Open a new 500 by 600 transparent (16.7 Million Color) image. Go to layers, new raster layer and name this layer head. Using your preset shapes tool   We are going to be using the ellipse shape with these settings

 

 

Your foreground (Styles) color should be black and your background color should be white.
 

 

Draw a round circle toward the top of your image for his head. Now using your draw tool   change your foreground (styles) color to an orange. I am using #FF9724. Your draw tool settings are below

 

 

Now to do this next part it is best if you zoom in by at least 1 (one) to see better what your doing:)) So go to view zoom in by 1. Now using your draw tool we are going to add what I call stitches to our ghost, Just draw small lines going all around his head like this.

 

 

To add our eyes, add a new layer and name this layer eyes. Using your airbrush tool    change your foreground (styles) color back to black. And use these settings

 

 

 

 

Now spray two eyes on your ghosts face. I added a drop shadow using these settings

 

 

Your background color needs to be changed to the orange we used for the ghosts stitches #FF9274. Your foreground color should be black. Using your preset shapes tool   and the same settings as before . Add a new layer and name this layer cheeks, Draw to round circles for his cheeks.  Set them close to right under his eyes, I also added Eye Candy 4000 Fur filter to his cheeks but that step is optional. Add the same drop shadow to your cheeks as you did on the eyes.

 

Add another layer, no need to really name this layer but we are going to add his mouth. Using your draw tool   With these settings
 

 

Make sure before you draw a mouth your background color is set to null like this

 

 

We are going to add the nose next. Add a new layer and name this layer nose. Now using your preset shapes tool again, Change your background color back  to white. Using your preset shapes tool   and once again your ellipse shape draw a small circle for the ghosts nose.  I used an inner bevel on my ghosts nose, Go to effects 3D effects, inner bevel and use these settings
 

 

Add the same drop shadow to his nose as you did his eyes. This is what you should have now.
 

 

Open your layer palette and place an x over layer 1 and merge visible the remaining layers and name this layer Ghost Head.

 

Are you ready to go to his body now?? If so go to page 2. And we will finish up:0)
