This is a tube
tutorial;)
I want to thank Susan for teaching me to make a Preset
Shape
Open transparent image
width 300 height 400
Choose 2 colors from your tube: one dark, one light.
I used #516C76 dark and #8AB2BD light
Set the colors on a gradient
with these settings:

canvas with it
Layers / New Raster Layer
Go to your Preset Shape Tools,
find the "lijnen1a"
and use these settings ( below )
( Please note: the
Line Style should be dots )
Set your
foreground on a nice pattern.
I used
"gabriel-zilverpatroon"

to the bottom right
corner
Convert this
vector layer to raster layer in your Layer Palette

Drag this shape exactly
below the first one with your Mover Tool

these layers are active

tube-layer. It should be layer 6
Open your "sparklepuffpurple" -

new layer on the canvas,
and reduce this
layer's size to 60%
Colorize ( Shift+L)
this layer with the
same H(hue) and
S(saturation) values
as your main tube (
click on the color swatch in your
Color Palet to view
the H & S values of your color)
