|
In this tutorial I will attempt to take you through step by step how I
made the little chicks you can see in the title.
I used Paint shop pro7
and KPT's5 Fiber Optix to make them, but if you don't have Kpt's then you
could substitute the FiberOptix steps for PSP's fur or Eye Candy fur.
The steps below are meant as a guide you don't have to follow them to
the letter, there are several places where you could experiment with your
own settings.

Ok now
on with the tutorial:

| Open New Image 300x300 background

Make a new layer name it Body
Select your paintbrush tool  ,
set paint color to a light warm yellow. In the paintbrush
tool options dialog box use the following settings:
Shape= round
Size= 120
Hardness=80
place your paintbrush over the center of
your image and click once. You should now have a fuzzy yellow
spot.

Now change to your selection tool  .
set it to Rectangle, anti alias unchecked, feather 0.
drag out a large rectangle around your yellow spot then place your
mouse cursor just inside the rectangle and click once. you
will notice the selection has now closed in around your circle.
