THE 7 LIGHT PARTS: | |

-PRESET SHAPES/ELIPSE- The inside Ear, Snout, Belly, Pad, Digit, Foot & Eyeball are made with this vector tool. Its used filled with the tan color on all, except the eyeball, set it for white. With the brown layer (merged bear) as the bottom layer & the Pattern over it at 50% opacity, choose this tool, click on the 1st shape, arrange the nodes to fit the pattern for that shape. In Layers palette, right click this vector layer, choose convert to raster, re-name this layer for the part. Repeat this step for other six. |

THE END | |
 |
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH... : D Move the pattern at 50%, to the top, make any adjustments. This is how your finished image should look, with this layer palette order & the Pattern off. Now Merge/visible OR... (SAVE) the file, do the merge, make your jpg, go to Edit/un-merge. keep your file in layers, you'll have all the parts separate. I do the latter, & that's why this was 2nd file - to use all the parts again, see image on next page. The finished image will have some drop shadow, but not enough to interfere with any further type of shadowing, like I used on the tutorial page images. |
