Tutorial made with version 9 of Paint Shop Pro, you can make any other

Let's use this tutorial a tool for me, is one of the best. I use it a lot and it is that we can draw whatever comes to mind. Later we will learn to use it with vectors, but today is just like a pencil

Materials:

Tubes / sha_estrellitas Stamps Here

Eye Candy 4000 (On page of Alien Skin seems to be discontinued because it is not there)

In Liberti Design you can see if you can download.

1 º Open an image 200/200 transparent. We put in the color palette, the Foreground color: # 4e5905 Null background. We chose the Pen or Pencil Design: and configure as follows:

2 nd extend the image to work comfortable and draw a stick something like this:

We will always work in layers, so we add a new layer and increase the stroke width to 2 px:

Without changing the color, other strokes do something like this:

3 rd New layer and put the Foreground color: # 6c7b07, change the stroke width back to 1 px and continue drawing twigs. We add a new layer and put the line back to 2px, draw until we have left something like this:

Do not worry about getting to go above the other, we must create the effect of multiple sheets

4 ° We changed the color to # 94a904 and thickness 1 px. and draw quick strokes and longer. In this step of the tutorial, we will have five layers and look like:

layer 1, layer # 2, # 3 layer, layer # 4, # 5 layer

And all together we will see this:

For my taste, you need another layer, that will go down at all and we will use the darker color, or even a new one that is even darker: # 3c4503 and apply so that plugging the gaps will be seen in the industry:

and all together now look like this:

If you see necessary, be applied by selecting the colors and lines in different layers. Merge all and have a branch, we will save as PSP, then as a tube. But before you do a series of changes

5 º Duplicate the layer and the warp tool, we will rotate so that it is

Duplicate again the first and we will turn this:

Merge and emphasize a couple of times to get better definition lost to modify it. Now save it as tube, but following this tip here As you can see the tip, trying to save a group of images for you to apply it as a tube, out in different orders and sizes and so we want to give the effect of
sheets with different shapes, direction and size

Now let's build the Christmas ornament

6 th Open a new image, transparent 400/400 px. Select the Shape tool and configure the Ellipse as follows:

In the color palette will color (no matter what it is) in the foreground and the background null. Then this layer remain hidden or delete is just for us as a reference.

7 th Selections / Float, Selections / Static, Selections / Modify / Expand:

Selections / Invert:

Select the Tube tool and there, the tube you just saved. And apply it within the selection.

Thus, first we have a circle that might otherwise cost us to do more or less perfect. We put these settings in the palette of tubes:

and apply as follows:

with the configuration that we have just have to follow the circle as indicated by arrows, while pressing the first mouse button. The tube will go continuously applied at the edges of the selection.:

Do not deselect.

8 º Selections / Invert. And we apply in the circle of the selection. the tube:

To complete everything.

9 th New Layer, select the tube sha_estrellitas put these settings in the palette of tubes:

And we apply this:

We stay like this:

Or in a disorderly way:

I did not put shadow and nothing more and save, first as a PSP, then gif transparent. This is an example of how one can use, but there are many more, for example, use two colors with the Pen tool / pencil instead of one as we did before:

And if you apply the filter Eye Candy 4000/Jiggle and this configuration:

or the same filter settings, but applied to each layer (single color like we did at first)

Or all together

But chiquis ... now your turn, create new tubes for garnish (like the stars), images, etc ... and .... hope to see your imagination in all its glory You know, two jobs and one ... using the technique that explains the tutorial, but ... something your totally worth?
