Pixel Champagne Bottle

This tutorial was written by Monti on January 3rd 2014. It's concept is copyrighted to Monti. Any creation you make from my ideas are yours. You may print out this tutorial for your own personal use, but please do not copy it in any way to put online, pass out or rewrite without my permission or worse yet attempt to claim as your own.

For this tutorial you will need 

Paint Shop Pro

The Following Colour Chart 
Save and open in PSP.
This colour chart is just a guide, feel free to use whatever colours you want.
Ok we are ready to start.

REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN 

Step 1: - Outline
We will be starting with the outline using the count shown below
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
I decided not to split the main Champagne Bottle into pieces and needed to make the count quite large.
Because of this I can't load it onto this page so please click the small image below which will open the main count. Right click and save this and open in PSP. 
To help you keep count of what you have done you can add a new layer to the count in PSP and draw a line through the pixels you have drawn to keep your place. 
Open a new image 200 x 200 and fill with white so you can see what you are working on.
Add a new raster layer and select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100 
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000% 
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the colour chart (#C09310) and start at the top of the Bottle.
Change the colour as you go.
The dark label is Colour 2 on the colour chart (#000000) and the bottle is Colour 3 on the colour chart (#19641A).

Step 2: - Fills
