Ghosts with Vectors

Example ghosts

This tutorial is made with the PSP version 8.10 in Spanish. But equally we can work with PSP7, or PSP 9 or any of the current versions.

Vectors and continue with the Retouch tool and not need other materials to our imagination.

1, 500/500 Open a transparent image in the color palette select the foreground null and background white. Go to the Forms tool and choose Ellipse shape form And draw something like this:

1

2 ° With the Pen tool: pen selected, we see that the nodes are located above them, we will be giving way:

4

Similarly add new ellipse and we will be creating the sleeves:

5

And another, do the bottom of the sleeve.

6

3 º Once we have them, let these two layers down to the lower part of the Layers palette, and to have them placed in the correct order they have to go. Draw the other sleeve the same way:

7

That should be just above the layer that is the body of the ghost, we draw another ellipse and adapted to the sleeve to create the background effect of the sleeve.

8

Likewise do the eyes and mouth.

We already have the image of our ghost vector shapes. We can if we wish, save them in. PspShape If we are working with PSP8 or format. Jsl if we do it with PSP7 To see the tip (Saving images shape vector format (Forms)) click here to separate and Let's turn deployment layers of different ways that we have drawn, to add bulk to our drawing.

4 ° In the Layers palette, click on the plus sign next to the vector layer + (when opened, looks like in the catch -) in the sublayer we'll see, (oval) by clicking the second button of the mouse and this menu, select:

9

We see a check mark appears surrounding the figure. Go to Settings and there command:

10

If we look at the layers palette you will see that there appeared a new layer named selection made:

11

just above the vector hide this and make sure we located it, look for the padlock icon that looks like one, the press and so we will protect the image, the edges can work without them deforming ;) Remove the selection.

5 In the toolbox we will select as follows:

12

Click on the arrow you see on the red and then where the arrow.

Note: This tool has an advantage compared with PSP7, it's so easy to use as if we press the left button, where we move the mouse cursor on the image, this clarification and the right button, darkened, but Let's try ;)

We adjust the values ​​as follows:

config

see the capture below, we see a couple of very advantageous options ;)

config2

Change the way, you should because we can see a difference by obscuring the desired areas. And if you tick to swap mouse buttons, we can invest Lighten / Darken by Darken / Lighten, so as to serve us best to work with this tool, we will change for use with left or right. We now apply a shadow to be giving volume:

15

6 º Switch to the Retouch tool:

16

and select Manchon. With this and the following configuration, we will soften shadows:

17

(Change the values ​​to find one that suits yourself.)

With the cursor, blurring go to where the arrows. For the other side on the right ;) Trying to make it a lighter shade on the edges:

19

And in the same way, we will do with the spots to form the folds of the Savannah Ghost ;) Change back to the tool Lighten / Darken and let's clear now to tune up areas of these folds:

20

as seen in the screenshot, now thinner.

7 º reapply the Retouch tool and mix well, change that yes, size 10/12 and this time 'stretch' upwards and the direction they already have the shadows. Tool change again:

21

and apply the right button more saturation, a reddish color which is now marked

before we had the gray.

22

Remember that the settings are approximate and tools must be modified as we see it to each ;) We proceed the same way until you have all the layers with shadow and light and the result will look like this:

23

We have ready for use this coming Halloween our own ghost ;) As a second job, it could be any little thing you can think of .. Another ghost for Halloween ... a collection of pumpkin .. etc, etc. ..
