Open your chosen birthday bear .ufo and fill the bear's head
and paws with a brown colour.
With the head and paws still selected, use the airbrush set on
circle size 30; Transparency 0; Soft Edge 50 to paint on edges
and also to add a bit of shading to the nose and ear areas.
|
|
Select the bears jumper, fill with a colour and then again do
the paint on edges as you did with the head and paws. Use the
black airbrush to shade the neckline of the jumper. You may prefer
at this pain to soften the shaded bits using the blur tool.
|
|
Fill each of the balloons with nice bright colours.
When done, select each of them and do the paint on edges as you
did with previous parts. Definitely use the blur tool to soften
those edges and then change your airbrush to white and spray a highlighted
area on each of the balloons. |
|
Select and ungroup the signboard. Fill each section
with co-ordinating colours or textures of your own choosing and
then add some celebratory text to the board. |
|
Add some eyes, a nose and a mouth to your bear. Don't
forget to give the cheeks a bit of colour using the airbrush set
on red and then your birthday bear is finished and ready for saving. |
