RAINY DAY DUCK
Open a new image 200x200 and floodfill with white
Set your foreground colour to #404040
Using your paintbrush tool on size 1 zoom in a few
times and follow the guide below to draw the outline of your duck (copy
and paste outline pic into your psp if this is easier than going back
and forth to this page)
All lines above 2 pixels are numbered

All done? Right let's colour him in!
Using your magic wand, click inside all areas of head
and body (except feet and beak).
Go to Effects/3D Effects/Cutout and apply the
following colours and settings and click ok

Now click inside top half of brolly and apply cutout
with these settings and colours

Now click inside bottom half of brolly and use same
cutout effect again
Now click with wand all areas of brolly handle and use
the following cutout

Click inside all areas of feet and beak and apply
following cutout

Recolour outline
this part is optional but I think it finishes it off
and looks nicer
Set your background colour to #404040 and your
foreground to#4E4866 and then using the colour replacer tool
with the following settings....

....go round the edges of the brolly, don't worry
about hitting the inside of the outline, the tool will only replace the
black outline, no other colour, but take care you only replace the
outside of brolly.
Now change your foreground colour to #FDD82D and using
the colour replacer go round the edge of all the body area
Change colour again to #EB9705 and go round feet and
beak, then change colour to 989292 and go round edge of handle
You may need to use your paintbrush at this point to
touch up any overlaps made with colour replacer
Once you are happy with your work, use magic wand and
click outside your duck and hit delete to erase white background
Save as png and also psp file for future use
