Rabbit.
I will show you a very easy way, how to make this little rabbit.
Start with a New Image 300 x 300, 16 mill,
transparent.
New Layer. Call it Body.
Fore- and Background color grey, #808080.
Preset Shapes, Ellipse.
Make an ellipse 70 x 110,
just under center
on your Image.
Deformation Tool. Turn the body slightly to the right.
New Layer. Call it Head. Fore- and Background
the same grey color.
Preset Shapes, Ellipse. Make an ellipse 60 x 55. Put it in place ontop of the
body.
New Layer. Call it Ear1. Fore- and Background
the same grey color.
Preset Shapes, Ellipse. Make an ellipse 30 x 85. Put it in place ontop of
the head.
Deformation Tool. Turn the ear to the left.
Drag Layer Ear1 under Head Layer.
In your Layers Palette, right click on
Layer Ear1 and Duplicate.
Call that layer Ear2. Flood fill the ear with color #787474. Layers, Arrange,
Bring to top.
Deformation Tool. Turn the ear to the left even
more.
New Layer. Call it Arm. Preset Shapes, Ellipse.
Make an ellipse 60 x 20.
Put it in place on the body.
New Layer. Call it Hand. Preset Shapes, Ellipse.
Make an ellipse 19 x 21.
Put the hand at the end of the arm.
Close all layers except Layer Arm + Hand. Layers, Merge, Merge visible. Call the layer Arm.
New Layer. Call it Leg1. Preset Shapes, Ellipse.
Make an ellipse 80 x 30.
The same gray color. Deformation Tool. Turn the legpart like I did.
New Layer. Call it Leg2. Preset Shapes, Ellipse.
Make an ellipse 75 x 25.
The same gray color. Deformation Tool. Turn the legpart like I did.
New Layer. Call it Foot. Preset Shapes, Ellipse.
Make an ellipse 80 x 22.
The same gray color. Deformation Tool. Turn the foot like I did and put it in
place.
Close all layers except Layer Leg1 + Leg2 + Foot. Layers, Merge, Merge visible. Call it Leg.
New Layer. Call it Tail. White color on
both Fore- and Background.
Preset Shapes, Ellipse. Make a circle 35 x
35. Put the tail in place.
I will show you this on a coloured background,
so you can have a better look, where to put the tail.
Eye Candy, Jiggle as below.
New Layer. Call it "Inner Ear". Pink color
on both Fore- and Background. I used #FCC8C8.
Preset Shapes, Ellipse. Make an ellipse 65 x
17. Put the inner ear in place.
New Layer. Call it Cheek. The same pink
color on both Fore- and Background.
Preset Shapes, Ellipse.
Make a circle 12 x 12. Put it in place on the head.
Effects, Blur, Gaussian Blur 7. If you want a little more color on the cheeks,
duplicate the Cheek layer once.
New Layer. Call it Face. Black color. Make
an eye, nose and mouth on the rabbit.
You can do that on your own, or I will give you a tip on how I did it.
I used Preset Shapes, Ellipse, Retain Style. I made an ellipse, then I took
Freehand Tool
and marked what I would erase.
Delete and your eye is ready.
I did the same with the mouth.
Then I took Draw tool, line1 and made a
small, vertical line fom the mouth and upwards.
New Layer. Preset Shapes, Triangle and uncheck the Retain Style.
I made a small triangle and put it on top of the vertical line.
Deformation Tool and I turned the nose a little to the left.
I also erased a few pixels at the upper part of the nose on the right side.
This is what you will have so far.
New Layer. Call it Paw1. You do just the
same with the paws as you did with the eye.
Preset Shapes, Ellipse, Retain Style checked. Black color. Make an ellipse and
mark with
Freehand Tool what you will delete.
Duplicate that layer and put the lines under eachother.
Close all other layers except Layer Paw1
and Copy of Paw1.
Layers, Merge, Merge visible. Call the layer Paw1.
New Layer. Call it Paw2. Do the same as on
Paw1.
Duplicate and place the line under the first line. I made the second "toe" a little shorter.
Close all other layers except Layer Paw2
and Copy of Paw2.
Layers, Merge, Merge visible. Call the layer Paw2.
Stand on Layer Body. Selection Tool. Make a
rectangle around the body. Click inside it.
Effects, 3D, Cutout as below.
Deselect.
Make the same procedure with Layer Head, Ear1 and Ear2 and use the same Cutout settings.
Do the Cutout on Layer Arm + Layer Leg as well, but lower the Opacity to 30 and Blur to 10.
Stand on Inner Ear. Do the Cutout with the Opacity put to 50 and Blur to 20, color #6A3A3A.
This is how your rabbit looks now. Are you satisfied with his looks take Layers, Merge, Merge visible.
If you want the little fellow to have some
more hair, you can use
Eye Candy, Jiggle with the same settings as on the tail. This is how he will
look then.
If you want his hair to look like this,
use Eye Candy, Swirl, as below.
But first you have to use the Selection
Tool and make a rectangle
around the bodypart and click inside. After that you can take Eye Candy, Swirl.
If you want the rabbit to have much more
hair,
you have to use Eye Candy, Fur, as below.
So, when you have done all you wanted to do,
take Layers, Merge, Merge visible.
That was all. Now you can use this little rabbit in different images. Have fun!
