This tutorial was written for a very special little boy - Elric Childress - who sadly lost his battle with DPIG (childhood cancer) on 9th September 2012, aged 10.
He was a very special little boy who will never be forgotten by anyone whose life he touched.
Rest In Peace Elric.

For this tutorial you will need

The Following Colour Chart
Save and then open in PSP
Of course you are free to use any colours you want.
Ok we are ready to start.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
We will be be making the Shark shown below. The outlines below have been resized a lot so you can see them clearly.
I have done the outline in 2 parts, we will be starting with the top half of the shark.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Open a new image 200 x 200 transparent.
Flood fill with white so you can see what you are working on. Delete this layer at the end.
Turn the grid on so you can see the single pixels by going to View - Grid - then View - Change Grid, Guide and Snap Properties. Under Current Image Settings change the Horizontal and Vertical grids to 1.
Add a new Raster Layer and name Outline.
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000%
Change colours as you go as indicated on the outline chart. The outline is colour 1 (#101010) on your colour chart. I find it easier to start at the highest point, in this case the top fin. (You can move the image later using your move tool if you need to).
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the colour chart (#101010) and start drawing the Shark outline.
When you have completed that outline we will carry on with the outline below.
NOTE: The parts shown in pink are the parts you have already drawn from the first outline.
Step 2:
When all of your outline is complete, select your magic wand with the following settings and click inside the top fin.
Add a new raster layer called Fill and move this beneath your outline layer in the layer palette.
