For this tutorial you will need
Paint Shop Pro
The Following Colour Chart
Save and then open in PSP.
Ok we are ready to start.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
We will be be making the cow shown below. The outlines below have been resized a lot so you can see them clearly.
I have done the outline in 2 parts, the body and the face.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
NOTE: Ignore the faded face for now, we will do that when we have done the outline.
Open a new image 150 x 150 transparent.
Flood fill with white so you can see what you are working on. Delete this layer at the end.
Add a new Raster Layer.
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000%
I find it easier to start the highest point, in this case his left horn, as you look at him. (You can move the image later using your move tool if you need to).
Set your foreground to colour 4 on the colour chart (#575555) and start at his left horn.
Do all of the cow outline changing the colours as you go. The Black patches outlines are colour 1 (#000000) on your colour chart, the mouth outline is colour 3 (#B57B7C) on the colour chart and the rest of the outline is colour 2 (#B19A84) on the colour chart.
Once the outline is complete add a new raster layer and draw in the face using the outline above as a position guide.
Use the guide below, colour 1 (#000000) for the eyes and colour 3 (#B57B7C) for the mouth and nostrils.
Hide the white background layer and merge visible. Unhide the background layer.
Step 2:
When your outline is complete, select your magic wand with the following settings and click inside the head.
Select colour 6 (#FFFAF4) on your cow colour chart and flood fill that selection.
