a witch in my garden

- 1   the witch

Here is the exemple for this tutoriel

witch grid

Right click > Copy > Paste a new image in PSP
Open a New transparent Image 300*250 and draw the outline.
You name this layer "outline_switch"
duplicate it and close it.
Name the new layer, the copy "color_switch"
And save as   >   switch.pspimage.


I try another way to colour this small outline, a little longer.
It is necessary to choose three colors for each parts of the drawing:
- one for the outline,
-one for flood fill
- and a third to underline .
here's my colours, please feel free to use your own choise of colors.

color palette

You have just to follow this diagram




The face:
- add a new layer, and on this one, draw pink and white pixels pink and white as follows:


switch's face

- Adjust > gaussian blur > ray: 0,6

The small witch is finished,    save as "sorciere.pspimage"
Let us add some pumpkins!

- 2 pumpkins

Make your choice in my garden and draw , on differents layers, "outline_pumpkins1"     etc...

potiron1 potiron2 potiron3 potiron4 potiron5 potiron6 potiron7


Duplicate the layers "outline _..." and close them as you go on.
Name the copy "pumpkin1...etc" and colour it

Make your own choise of colors and follow this diagram ( right click > ...)

diagram pumpkins

Arrange your layers "potirons1  etc..." with your taste.
Use the "move tool" move tool to click and drag the content of an entire layer.
On the layer palette you can drag a layer to another position .
Do not forget the small witch.
Last once save as "sorciere.pspimage".
Merge visible.
Edit > Copy > paste as a New Image.

Now you can close the Image "sorciere.pspimage" but do not save again
(Psp automatically opens the Save us dialog !) you would lose all the benefit to have all the images on differents layers.

I put my drawing on two small clouds (see the tutoriel small cloud), same shapes but one is drawn with a solid style line, and the other with small dash style line!

File > Export > gif optimizer (existing image or layer transparency)
