fuzzle

Hello again!! This tutorial is for fun. Most of it, you will just be using your imagination!! We are going to create a Fuzzle!! *s* I know.....now you think I've lost my marbles. Well, I lost them a long time ago...*bg* The only things you will be needing for this tutorial are PSP 7 and Eye Candy 4000 or Eye Candy 3.

2. With your preset shape tool set to ellipse, foreground null and background color set to white, draw out a medium size ellipse. When I picture a Fuzzle in my mind, I picture a big fuzzy lump of fur...*s*

3. Now, what I did here is play around with the fur filter in Eye Candy 4000. I applied this several times changing the direction and the length fo the curls until I was satisfied with it. Be sure you uncheck the box called "Draw only Inside Selection" because we want the fuzz to be all over the place. We want our Fuzzle to be wild and Frilly *snicker* Let's also add some swirl to our fur with our Eye Candy Swirl filter. This is what my Fuzzle looks like thus far.

Let me see here...do you think Fuzzle's have eyes? I imagine they do have some amongst all that fur so they can see where they are rolling so let's give it some eyes.

4. Here you can be as creative as you'd like. Remember, we are having fun. This is a goof around tutorial! Create a new layer named eyes and decide what you think your Fuzzle's eyes should look like. I set my foreground color to black and my background to null and I used an eye preshape from the preshapes folder. I know you can be more creative!

5. Creat a new layer named nose. Use your draw tool set to freehand, linewidth 1 and draw a nose for our Fuzzle.

6. Add a new layer named mouth if you'd like. I used a tube of a pair of lips. When you finish the mouth...click on layer 1 and add a new layer named legs. Use your draw tool set at freehand, line width 1 and draw some little legs. You can do it....so what if they look funny...you should have seen mine. Besides, the fur covers up our handy work. *s* When you finish drawing, don't forget to add the fur as we did on our Fuzzle body!

Somebody better stop me because I'm getting carried away!! *giggle* You don't have to do this part if you'd rather not. I duplicated my legs layer and used the deform tool to spin those hairy limbs around and I repeated this process until my Fuzzle body was surrounded by hairy limbs. See, this way...he can roll his way around.

Wallah!! You're all done......unless of course you are like me and can't just let this Fuzzle sit still.

I really do hope you enjoyed creating your Fuzzle. Sometimes we just need to be silly and have fun! Happy PSPing!! TTFN
