Today we will be making just the teddy in the above picture. The bee in the above picture is a creation by Lura at PSP Crossroads and her tutorial can be found here


This tutorial is written and made in Psp Version 8 and assumes you have a working knowledge of Psp. It can be made in earlier versions of Psp with a few adjustments, but for this tutorial I will only be explaining how it was made in version 8.

You will need:-

JASC's PSP (free 30 day trial) which you can get here
My zipped files (colour chart and outline chart) which you can get here
** save to your my documents and unzip

Let's get started:-

Step One

Open a new canvas 200 x 200, transparent background, 16 million pixels.

If you wish you can flood fill this layer with white so that you can see a little better and then create another layer to draw onto.

What I like to do is create a new layer and then blow my canvas up to 800%.
Yes this will seem very large, but I find it easier to be able to see what im doing, and move the canvas around as I go along.

Set your paintbrush to size 1 and set your colour to black #000000.
I like to use black so that I can see clearly what I am doing.
Then follow the outline below.
I was taught to do pixels following a colour chart, it really is the most simplest way, so I will also provide you with a colour chart also .
The colour will will be equivalent to the amount of pixels used.





   


Now we have our outline done, please feel free to colour and shade as you wish. Alternatively, you may wish to follow the rest of the tutorial.

Before I continued with the rest of the tutorial i went over the outline I had already done, The colour i used for head, ear,inner ear, arm and feet was #997346.
The outside of his nose, eye and crease in his trousers I left as black
The outside of his shirt I used #8D8ECB
