REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
We will be be making the Present shown above. The outline below have been resized a lot so you can see it clearly.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Step 1:
Open a new image 150 x 150 transparent.
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 2 on the outline colour chart (#354e39) and start drawing your outline.
I started at the top of the bow.
Change your colours as you go.
Step 2: Present Fills
When your outline is complete, select your magic wand with the following settings and click inside the left front present section.
Flood fill this selection with colour 3 on your colour chart (#A74F51).
