Buddy the Bear

I've always loved bears so when The Prestigious Dames came up with the idea
of creating Prestigious Park I thought it was the perfect time to write my
first tutorial, and the first thing I thought of was a bear.
I hope you enjoy him!

This tutorial was created with PSP 7.04
but I'm sure it can easily be done in other versions.

You will need:

JASC'S Paint Shop Pro Get it here
My Bear selections Get them here.
Unzip the selections into your PSP selections file.



Remember to save often!
