Select your Paint Brush: Round Size: 50 Hardness-Opacity-Density: 100 Step: 25 Color: #FF9999 Place a blush circle on each cheek. Effects: Gaussian Blur:5-7% New layer. Paint Brush: Size: 4 Color: #FFFFCC Place a highlight on the nose. Effects: Gaussian Blur: 2% While still on this layer change your Brush Size to 2 and paint a highlight on each eye. From here on you can merge all layers and save in PSP format or export as a tube. I usually save in PSP format with all layers intact, duplicate and merge all layers visible, then export as a tube. You can use your Rag Doll Bunny to decorate your cards and they make great Signature Tags when resized smaller. I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and will continue on through the series as each new tutorial becomes available. | Copyright © 2002, Donnamarie J. Walker, All Rights Reserved
