Right click to download and open in your favorite graphics program...this tutorial is written in PSP version 8, but you can use PSP7
Open a new transparent image 100*100 and draw the outline
Or if you prefer, you can draw him with both hands up.
Your outline is finished, you name this layer "outline", duplicate it and close it.
Name the new layer, the copy "color"..
Here's my colours , a small drawing but a lot of colors. Please feel free to use your own choise of colors.
Get to your tools

Time to shade.
I have used two different methods: a cutout effect or a drop shadow.
Each time you will have to use one of them as indicated below. The method is a bit different for these effects.
The Cutout Effect: select the area with your magic wand
and Selections > Float. Then go to Effect > Effects 3D > Cutout.
For the Drop shadow Effect, select with the magic wand,
go to Selections > Invert and then effects > 3D Effects > Drop shadow.
But before: duplicate the layer "color" and name this new layer :"clown1" :-D

how to animate
You choose to animate your clown so you will have to work on the hand, half of the jacket, the mouth and the hair.
Duplicate the layer "clown1", and name it "clown2".
close "clown1".
- On the layer "color" you select : hand + arm + mouth + hair + nose with your magic wand
- Go on the layer "clown2" and Delete ,and Ctrl+D .
- erase the pixels that I have coloured in red, and
draw the new hand arm mouth hair and nose and fill.
- Shade these parts as you have done before. Change the eyes a bit too, if you want .
Save as .psp (only layer "clown1" and "clown2" are visible).
Open Animation Shop and find your file.
You only have to adjust the speed , right click on each frame and choose Frame Properties > display Time and enter a time. For my example: 45 for the first frame and 90 for the second.
Save us *.gif
That's it !
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. ;)
I will explain another time how to easily make a small irritating fly.
