Hunnie Bears Selection Tutorial
Please read my terms before you start my tutorial
The hunnie bear is my own idle time creation.
This Tutorial sure is lengthy.. so make sure you got some time, patience, and maybe a drink and snack handy :o)
By doing this tutorial I assume you have good knowledge about layers and selections in PSP
I encourage you to play with different colours, textures etc.. to make a graphic unique to you :o)
You will need:
* PSP I used 7.4 for this tutorial,
but should be ok to do in earlier versions or psp8
* EYE CANDY 3 JIGGLE this can be found here
You could also use the EC4000 and play with the settings to how you like
* MY SELECTION FILES you can download the zipped file here
Save and extract these to your Selection folder in PSP
If you haven't got one, you will have to create one
* My Colour Chart for the colours I used:
If you want to use the same colours..Just right click the chart and save as
Ready?.. lets get started...
1. Open the colour palette and place it at the bottom of your workspace
Use your dropper  to click in one of the squares to pick the colour
Left click #1 will make it your foreground
and right click #4 makes it the background colour
2. Open new file, make it 400 x 400 Transparent
3. New Layer, name it Wing and Selections/Load from Disk/lf-wing.sel
First fill with #1 (left click) from the colour palette and go to Selections/Modify/Contract/1
then fill this selection with #4 (right click)
Keep selected and activate your spray paint tool 
and set the tool option settings like this
4. Foreground is #5 and background is #4 from the palette
Now lightly LEFT click some yellow on the edges, if you overdo it, right click some beige back on there and try again :o)
This takes a bit of practise.. there always is the "Undo" button if you don't get it right first time
To finish off add some noise.. Effects/Noise/Add/10% uniform

rename this copy of leg1 layer to Leg2
