Jacquelin Vanderwood August 1, 2003 1 Start with a single rectangle. Select the Knife tool and with the piece selected, cut a rolling slice into into. Change the color of the one piece so that you now have two different colored pieces. Lock the layer and start a new one. 2 With the Pen tool selected, create a walkway as shown below. 3 Create a sun for the sky. 4 With the Pen tool create the outline for a tunnel. 5 Create the inner wall of the tunnel and send it to the back (Ctrl+Shft+[). 6 Create the outside part of it and send it to the back as well. 7 New layer. Create the trunk of the tree. To create the leaves, make a bunch of circles.
