Bunney's Friendly Ghost

Tutorial Page 2

 

This part isn't as long as his face was, This one is fairly easy. Add a new layer and name this layer body. Using you preset  shapes tool    and these settings

 

 

Draw an oblong circle for the ghosts body. This is what mine looks like, Keep in mind, yours will be larger and more detailed. I have resized this one for download time.

 

 

Now we need to edit his body, so using your object selector tool   right click on the inside of your body and go to node edit. Bring y our top node just down to right under the ghosts head. Now using your ctrl on your keyboard right click until you see the words add we want to add a node to each side like this

 

 

Now the nodes you just added take one at a time starting with the left pull it up and outwards to where its almost even with the very top node , Do the same with the node on the right pull it up and out to the right to where its also almost even with the very top node of your ghosts body. Like this

 

Once you have your body shaped the way you want it right click again and go to quite node editing. Then go to layers convert to raster.  Now pull this layer to just below your head layer, When we create a vector we also are adding a new layer at the same time. So we want to get rid of this one layer. Open up your layer palette and put a red x over your head layer and layer one like this

 

 

Now go to layers merge visible and name this layer body. Now you can go back to your layers palette and click back on the red x's so that you can now see the rest of your layers .

 

Add a new layer no need to name this layer either, we are just going to add the same stitches to his body as we did on his head. So using your draw tool   with these settings
 

 

Change your foreground (styles) color back to the orange you have been using thru out this tutorial #FF9724 and begin drawing your stitches around his body, Take your time, They don't have to be perfect but do need to be pretty close the same size. Here is what mine looks like now.

 

 

Now we are almost done, We need to add a few wrinkles to his body and head, Using your draw tool   Make sure your settings for your draw tool are still set at 2,.

 

 

Add a new layer because we don't want those on the same layer as your stitches, Now draw a couple black lines to where you want your wrinkles to be.  Once you have those where you want them I added a gaussian blur to mine so go to effects, blur, gaussian blur and use these settings

 

 

Don't forget to do the lines just under the ghosts head like this

 

 

Now I added a bow, I created this bow using preset shapes and have created a tube out of it, You are more then welcome to download the tube here and use the one I created or you can use your imagination and create one of your own, I was going to add the bow into this tutorial but its a lot of steps sorry. Maybe at a later time:))
Once you add a bow if you want, then you can merge visible all layers and export as a tube for later use;)) The bow that is zipped up does not have the black dots, I just used the air brush tool at a small setting and add those dots;))

And that is it your Friendly Ghost is now done;))
