PTU: Happy Halloween Tutorial

It's October time, guess what I love Halloween, let's kick off October with a Halloween tag.  Oh and this week 1st of every month, ThePSPProject does there BOGO sales, so don't miss out on those.  My favorite is Cris DeLara tube "Jolly Halloween" paired with Abstract's Creation "The Witching Hour" kit. 
Check out my latest Halloween tutorial for you.

"Happy Halloween"

PTU: The Witching Hour by Abstract Creations
Artist: Cris DeLara
Template: by Dees Design Template "Come Fly with me"
Mask: by Creative Misfits Mask section

Enjoy my tutorial :)

You must have working knowledge of Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 or newer

Okay Ready, set, GO!

Open the template and try to re-size 650 x 650

Next Open p7, and re-size to 650x650, C/P to the last layer of the template.
What's next, you guest it we are going to change this paper into a mask layer.
Got your mouse ready to go???
Head to your Layers tab-->(Click) Load/Save Mask--> (then click) Load Mask from Disc
From there choose any mask you want or choose the one I used with a circular pattern.
And then (Click)--> Load
After this step, right click your mask paper again, and this time you are going to " Merge group"  (why merge group??? , because this will convert your three seperate layers that your mask option made for you, into one single mask layer to work with)
Using your mouse, mouse over your layer where you had paste your paper at, and right click on your mouse
Next it will pop another option for you, you want to look for "Merge"--> "merge group".

Tada you have a single masked layer.

***For Dee's template, I did not use all the template layers, but its completly up to you if you want to or not, and I choose to leave the word art, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

 Next, choose any papers you like, from papers folder, C/P them each over the shapes of the template.

This next step will help you see what I had done to cut the papers out to the shapes of the template, if you need it. If not then you can skip this part :)
Open p3 Copy and paste it over one of the rectangles of the template, next you will want to grab your magic wand tool, click on the rectangle of the template, press Ctrl+Shift+I on your keyboard, this will allow you to invert. 
Next click the p3 you've pasted, and hit your delete key once.

*Continue with the 
same steps for all the shapes of the template.
For this particular template I didn't use everything included, but that's just personal preffrences but by all means you are welcome to do what ever you wish.
Now once your done you should have perfectly cut shapes, layered with your favorite papers.

Next open these elements, re-size (%) if need be. 
 (If I left the re-size out, it's because i did not have to re-size) :)  and then copy and paste into your canvas, & apply Drop Shadow to each

Open-e42, re-size to 80%
Open- e27, and e26, re-size e27 to 60%, and duplicate e26 four times, re-szie one of them 60%, and leave a few as they are, the idea you are going for is pasting these flowers around the tube, so she appears to be sitting on the flowers, this works well for a sitting tube or half tube, and if you like my tube I choose, which is "Jolly Witch" by Cris DeLara, you can find her at ThePSPProject Store.
Open- e55, re-size to 40%, And sharpen the element,
Open- e22, re-size 36%,
Open- e24
Open- e25, re-size 60%,
Open- e29, re-size 25%
Open- e3, re-size 50%,
Open- e38, using move tool tilt down right, till the broom is almost straight, but still have an angle, duplicate, and apply mirror effect. Place the brooms behind (e26 (re-sized at 50%)),
Open- e31, re-size to 22%,

Now that you have re-sized these elements according to my sizes, added the drop shadows to all. 

 Add your copyrights of your tube and your license.

PTU: Time for Tea Tutorial

How cute is it to have this tube "Mouse in a Cup" by Alicia Bel, only sold at  ThePSPProject Store.  And check out this crazy cookie animation I did using her mouse.
Definitely a must buy, cause it's so simply cute not to have and try out your animation skills.
"Time For Tea"


I have  an animation tag tutorial woohoo, thought animated a banner was hard, well, for this, I had to go use my Photoshop, but Psp is also okay to use for this tutorial just keep in mind, while your in your Psp you will have to merge a lot of times and requires you using Jasc animation in the end, but you will love how cute it all turns out tho.
** Just a note, not all artist allows animation of their tubes, be sure to read all terms of use before proceeding ahead, Alicia Bel allows animation, so that is why I choose her tube, if you wish to use the same please stop by ThePSPProject store to purchase it today, and try it out :) 
If you should need me to explain these steps for Psp, please comment a request below for one and if I should have time I will write one up for Corel psp users.  

Ok onto Photoshop.
Open the template "Time For TEA" template I made.
Next, for those who did purchase the same tube I am using, please follow the next steps.
First step re-sized 60% and then copy and paste into your working canvas.
Make sure its slightly centered
Next Duplicate your original tube 3x, and then hide your first original tube. [[Just in case you messed up you always have the original to go back to]]
Take your duplicate copy, and grab your eraser tool, and zoom in close enough to start erasing around its whiskers, and the tail. yes all the tail has to be erased too, including the lady bugs. 
By now your mouse looks funny without her tail, so the next step is your going to grab your brush tool, make sure it matches the color of the tea cup, and brush over the part where you erase her tail.  
Next step take your third duplicate copy, using your eraser tool, zoom in and erase the mouse, leaving just her tail and ladybugs alone.  
Ok Next your going to duplicate just the tail. 
For the duplicated tail using your lasso tool, cut the ladybug out, I chose the one closest to the cup.  And again brush in a little of her tail back after you've cut the lady bug.  
Remember the lady bug you removed, well paste the ladybug back, and move the ladybug back onto the tail.
Animation of Lady Bug
Now you're going to animate the ladybug, by duplicating 3x and moving the ladybug each time going forward and turning around and going back to its place. 
 Duplicate as many times as you need for this, remember all you are doing to making the ladybug appear to be moving up and down the tail.  
Animation of Whiskers and Nose
Next step to make her nose wiggle, remember the and duplicate copy that just has her whiskers, I need you to duplicate those too up to 3x, 
Using your Free Transform tool, by Holding down Ctrl+T, maneuver (rotate slightly) her nose left , and then right for the next duplicated layer, and then up if you want for the next duplicated layer of her whiskers to wiggle up, 
its how ever many times you want to wiggle her nose, make sure you duplicate from the original whisker cut out you did, so you don't lose your place. 
Next if you wish to, using the Free Transform tool take your original tail, not the one without the lady bug on it, has to be one with all 3 on there, and your going to move her tail up and down.  
Next Add your name, and license and copyright of your tube which should say if you're using the same as me, "©Alicia Bel, www.aliciabel.com" and then your TPP license.
And if you wish to, you can change the word art or apply a gradient glow to the word art.
Now that you have completed these steps its onto your animation if you got CS3 or higher, you have it already there, just open your "WINDOW" option and check mark animation, and it will pop up for you. 
Now just simply open and close each layer that you desire to movement to be made, and then once you are happy with your frames and time.  Save as gif.

 Next open these elements, re-size according to my specifications, add a drop shadow if you wish to do so, then copy and paste into your canvas.
  (If I had left the re-size % out, it's because I did not have to re-size).

Now onto the ELEMENTS FOLDER:

kk_clouds, 
kk_fence, re-size to 60%, add d/s, then c/p,  and duplicate, then hold down CTRL+M (to mirror) this will make the fence look longer.

**Okay for those who have MuRa meister-copies effect, here we go, 
Be sure to place the flower on the top of canvas, then apply your copies effect, no need to adjust settings, keep it as is.  Play around with the effect till you like how the flowers are falling down then place it into your canvas. Then duplicate it 4x, apply your mirror and flip effect, and place them where you want them to be.

Then Click OK.  ((and then hide this layer. )) you will see why later.

Next step open a new raster layer, flood fill this layer a darker shade of pink (#e76c6b),

Next open your tube, you want the half tube to sit on the far right like how I have mine, and the medium size tube in the center,  and after you have added your drop shadows to your tubes, merge these layers together, then set the blend mode to SCREEN.  

Next remember the previous layer you have made and hidden, well now you can unhide it.  

Then merge these two layer together, and tada you have a background.

Next step grab you close up tube, the closer to her face the better.
Then Copy and paste her to the far left of the banner.

Next open a new layer, this layer with be your border.  So for this flood fill it first. With a light pink or dark pink if you wish.  
Then push Crtl+A, then go to your selections and look for modify and then look for contract, and make sure it says " number of pixels __"  you enter the number 4, click ok to go back to your layers and then hit your delete key once.

PTU: Alena Mystical Forest Tutorial

 "Alena Mystical Forest"
PTU Art by Alena Lazareva

Enjoy my tutorial :)
You must have working knowledge of Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 or newer
Okay Ready, set, GO!
Open a 650 x 250 new canvas,
For this tutorial, I used two things, my jasc animation program, and used only one type of effect, that's not a plug-in, and you can pretty much get this effect with either corel, or with Photoshop. 
I simply used Radial blur.  You can find this function under your Adjust tabs next to Effects.  
First things first is Duplicate your scenery layer that's apart of your tubes background, if you don't have one you can make up one you like and just go from there, pretty much any background will work depending on your choice of tube.  For instance I'm using Alena art, which works really well in what I am about to do for my animation process.
So Duplicate your layer 3 times.
Next you will be applying Radial Blur to each...
Here's a sample of what I did, all you have to do is adjust the "strength" numbers (I circle it in red for you), I went from 15% up to 45%. Which ever percentage you like just increase it by 10-20% from your first layer.  
I choose my first duplicate at 15%, my second duplicated 35%, and my last duplicated layer 45%. 
Now here, before you copy and paste these layers to your animation program, you will want to make your border for your banner, and also don't forget to add your name, your copyright info, and of course your license if your using a PTU tube.
*Now for this next step I opened up my Jasc Animation Shop.
Copy each of the 3 duplicated layers that you now have applied the radial blur effects to. 
 Select the transition effects option, from there you pick FADE.-
Leave everything as is, don't adjust layers or frame, and click OK .
Then save your animation as GIF.
And you’re done.

PTU: Tea Party Tutorial



Enjoy my tutorial :)

You must have working knowledge of Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 or newer

By the way I always start my canvas's at 650x650 , but you are free to open a canvas bigger or smaller, and scale the elements to the size you want.  But if you are like me, keep reading on, thanks. 

Okay Ready, set, GO!

Open EOC template 7, and re-size to 650x650

Open WP_AE_PP1, C/P last layer of the template
What's next, you guest it we are going to change this paper into a mask layer.
Got your mouse ready to go???
Head to your Layers tab-->(Click) Load/Save Mask--> (then click) Load Mask from Disc
From there choose any mask you want or choose the one I used with a circular pattern.
And then (Click)--> Load
After this step, right click your mask paper again, and this time you are going to " Merge group"  (why merge group??? , because this will convert your three seperate layers that your mask option made for you, into one single mask layer to work with)
Using your mouse, mouse over your layer where you had paste your paper at, and right click on your mouse
Next it will pop another option for you, you want to look for "Merge"--> "merge group".
Tada you have a single masked layer.
 Next, choose any papers you like, from papers folder, C/P them each over the shapes of the template.
This next step will help you see what I had done to cut the papers out to the shapes of the template, if you need it. If not then you can skip this part :)

Open WP_AE_PP12 Copy and paste it over one of the circles of the template, next you will want to grab your magic wand tool, click on the rectangle of the template, press Ctrl+Shift+I on your keyboard, this will allow you to invert. 
Next click the WP_AE_PP12, and hit your delete key once.

*Do these same steps for all the shapes of the template.

Now you should have perfectly cut shapes, layered with your favorite papers.

Next open these elements, and be sure to apply Drop Shadow to each

Open-WP_AE_HEART, re-size to 25%
Open- WP_AE_SUGAR
Open- WP_AE_CUP, re-size to 90%, apply mirror effect (basically your flipping the cup, horzontically)
Open- WP_AE_GRASS, re-size it to 70%
Open- WP_AE_CHESSPIECE1, re-size it to 20%
Open- WP_AE_CAKEPLATE2, re-size it to 60%.
Open- WP_AE_CHESSPIECE3, re-size to 20%
Open- WP_AE_PAWN4, re-size to 40%,
Open- WP_AE_CHESSPIECE2, re-size to 35%,
Open- WP_AE_CAT, re-size to 30%, i snuck the Cheshire cat between the template shapes, but you can do what you want with him.

Now that you have re-sized these elements according to my sizes, added the drop shadows to all. Except for the grass.
I used Victoria Fox art, "Alice," and I applied the xero-porcelian effect, and sat her behind the chess pieces.  Oh and don't forget to add your drop shadow too, and your almost done ;)
