Halloween Bear

This is the first of a series of holiday bears. For this tutorial you will load the selection file flood fill with brown then deselect, select all, float. Then apply cutout, deselect add new layer. The pumpkins used here are from one of Cristinas tutorials

Supplies you will need are Paintshop Pro, the bunny fur, pumpkin and my selection files. I have also provided the color chart to make it easier than copying and pasting the hex codes into psp. Just right click on the image select copy then go to psp and right click, paste in the work area.

Right click me and save to your harddrive.

Step 1 Okay lets begin by opening a transparent canvas sized 500 x 500 pixels. Add a new layer, load in hb-body1 flood fill with the fur tile, select none, select all, float, now apply the cutout with the following settings. Use the first color on the color chart for the color choice.

Not for the taking

Step 2 Add a new layer, load hb-body2 repeat step 1

Step 3 Add a new layer, load hb-ears1 repeat step 1 except change blur from 50 to 20.
