For this tutorial you will need
Paint Shop Pro
Colour Chart
Save and then 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.
The counts in pink are the pixel spaces between the lines, so you can line them up properly.
I decided not to split the main Ghost 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 150 x 150 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 (#8F9DA9) and start at the tip of it's head. Once you have completed the ghost outline change to Colour 3 on the colour chart (#3A3A3A) and draw in the eyes and mouth.
