This tutorial is a creation of my own. Any resemblance to another is purely coincidental.
I've used techniques I've learned along the way and new ones as I learn. Please read my Terms before doing my tutorial. I used Paintshop Pro X to make this tutorial, but will be compatible with versions 8 and newer. You will need to have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro to do this tutorial. My tutorials may seem lengthy, but I try to write them so even the moderate beginner can be able to do them as well as the more advanced. I hope you enjoy :) What you will need: Paint Shop Pro if you don't have it you can get an evaluation copy Here .psp images Download Mask Download Selection Download The mask I got from Zuzanna's She has a great site :) The girl tube is one I've collected along the way and lost who it belongs to. If it's yours please let me know so I can give the proper credits. The images are in .psp image and you can unzip them into your images folder. Put the mask in your masks folder of your PSP files. If you dont have a zip program you can get one Here. **Save your work often!!!! 1. Open up a New Image. 500x500. Transparent. 2. Floodfill with White. 3. New layer.
