For this tutorial we will need the KPT 5 which can filter down by pressing here

KPT Presets sha_presets to 5 here.

Download and unzip the folder Presets FiberOptix the same filter.

1 º Open a 390/400 image px. With the Pen Tool Design, to be configured for:

And the color palette, the Foreground color # 96441C and nullified the bottom, draw the tree:

2 ° As indicated by the capture we will change the width of the pen design:

The arrows indicate the values ​​of each stroke and as we see, changing in width, initiate the new stroke just as much as the previous center. Convert raster layer and we can rename as 'base stock'

* Note: Remember to apply to each line, and that as we set the pen, if not applied line by line, changing the value, you would in the previous stroke, to prevent it, at the end of a line, click Apply:

3 º Change the pen width to 1 and so well:

See Beizer Curves tip to use here.

We begin to draw the upper branches:

* Note: It is very important, because after applying the filter is not seen, but you may wish to keep the stem in PSP format to create a tube, therefore, be putting the principle of the branches, wherever courts have the size of the strokes made at the beginning:

Convert to layer deployment once we have them posted to our liking.

Clicking on the nodes, before applying, we can change the position of those to where we like more.

4 º the value changes again and we will draw the thicker branches (We can help capture the first to see the size of pencil or pen those of the bottom:

Once all to our liking, we make deployment layer.

5 ° We will now branch by branch, with smaller width values ​​to give shape to the branches as we did with the trunk:

The tree is taking shape, as wanted. Convert raster layer.

6 ° Finally, change the value of a pencil and we will give the endings of the branches and we have thus:

and converted into raster layer.

7 º Go to resize the canvas and put some big steps, so that the filter can be applied correctly. Activate the layer thicker branches. Select / Float

Go to Effects / Filters Plug-in/KPT 5/FiberOptix. Clicking the icon displays this screen: sha_abeto load the preset:

We found that these values ​​are indicated by the capture. The effect should be more or less as follows:

8 º continue repeating the previous step for all layers of the branches to have all the effect of KPT5:

y el árbol quedo terminado. 9 th to give effect of more dense, are added wherever more 'clear' some branches over and repeat step # 7 and the tree is finished.

Save 10 º format. Psp first. Merge all layers and save.
