Pull this layer under the Details layer. | | 10 | | One more layer: Ear Blush, load the lady_unicorn_ear.sel, using
your Paint Brush, Size 16, Color: #CC3366, paint the blush.

Save! | | 11 | | You can save here, duplicate the image and finish adding your special touches to make her your own by adding a background color or texture, crop off the excess canvas, and don't forget to sign your work! Or you can merge all layers visible and export her as a new tube. | Copyright © 2002, Donnamarie J. Walker, All Rights Reserved
