Country Chick

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

You will need:

JASC's PaintShop Pro Get it Here
My Chick selections get them here
My yellow plaid pattern. Right click on the pattern and save it to your computer.

1. Unzip the selections to your selections file and open the plaid and minimize it on your desk top.

2. Open a new document with the settings 350X350 transparent. I like to flood fill with white, it's easier for me to see what I'm doing that way.

3. Set your foreground color to black and the background to pattern with the yellow plaid selected using the following settings. Scale 100% and angle 213.

 

4.  Create a new raster layer and name it wing. Load the selection cmrightwing.Flood fill the selection with black. Go to selections, modify, contract 1, then flood fill with the pattern. Go to selection float and then apply a cutout using the following setting. Vertical and horizontal -3, opacity 23, blur 15.6, and the color is #808080. Deselect.

 

5. Create a new raster layer and name it wing2. Load selection cmleftwing. Flood fill with black, modify, contract 1 and flood fill with the same pattern only change the angle to 66. Float the selection and apply the same cutout only use a vertical and horizontal setting of 3. Deselect.

6. Create a new raster layer and name it body. Load selection cmbody. Flood fill with black, modify, contract 1 and flood fill with the pattern with an angle of 0. Float the selection and apply a cutout with the following settings, vertical and horizontal 4, opacity 48, blur 15.6, color #808080. Then repeat with the settings of horizontal and vertical setting of -4. Deselect.



7. Add a new layer and name it head. Load the selection cmhead. Flood fill with black, modify contract 1 and flood fill with the pattern with an angle of 9. Float the selection and apply the same cut outs as in step 5. Deselect.

8. Add a new layer and name it beak. Load the selection cmbeak. Flood fill with black, modify, contract 1 and flood fill with orange #FFAE01. Float and apply the same cutout as step 5 only use the shadow color #B07F0F. Deselect.

9. Add a new layer and name it eyes. Load selection cmeyes. Flood fill it with black. Apply an inner bevel using the setting round. You don't need to change any settings on the bevel. Deselect.

10. Add a new layer and name it feet. Load selection cmfeet. Flood fill with black. Modify, contract 1 and flood fill with orange #FFAE01. Float and apply the sand cutout as in step 7. Deselect.

11. Add a new layer and name it details. Load selection cmdetails. Modify, contract 1. Deselect. Flood fill with black.

12. Add a new layer and with the palette settings foreground black, background null, select your draw tool with straight line, line width 1, and anti alias selected. Randomly draw short straight lines at the edge of your chick to give it a country look.

13. If you flood filled layer one, select it and delete to get a transparent background again. Merge visible and then you can save your chick as a tube if you like.

All done! Thank you so much for trying my tutorial. I hope you enjoyed it :-)
