My selection files. Place these in your PSP selections folder (or another location of your choice). You may download them here.
Step 1. Open a new image 300 x 300, background color of your choice. Step 2. Add a new layer. Load "body" selection. Flood fill with #343530. ![]() Step 3. For each of the following pieces, follow these steps:
The pieces to load, are:
![]() ![]() ![]() Step 4. Move the "body" layer to the top.
![]()
![]() Step 6. Add a new layer. Move it on top of the body layer. Load "redlines" selection. Flood fill with #F94C44.
![]() Step 7. Add a new layer (on top of the last layer). Load "bluelines" from disk and flood fill with #5FACE0.
![]() Step 8. Add a new layer. Move it on top of the head. Load "headlines" from disk. Flood fill with #343530.
![]() Step 9. Add a new layer. With the selection tool, draw a small circle, flood fill with #343530 for the eye. Make another one.
![]() Step 10. Now the bug is basically done. You can leave it like this if you wish. I decided to add an inner bevel to mine (all the pieces). If you want to do that, use these settings: the pillow bevel, width 3, smoothness 0, depth 1, ambience 0, color white, angle 315, intensity 50. I also added some shading on the body (just spray some color with your airbrush and smooth it out with your smudge brush). Finally, I lowered the opacity on the stripes layers just a bit. And that's it. When satisfied with your bug, hide the background and merge visible layers. Hope this tutorial didn't make ya "buggy." lol (and groan).
