PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION HERE

We are going to make this lil angel!
As normal, all you need is PSP and patience!

1.  Open a blank image of 120 by 140, this should give us plenty of room to work with.  Flood fill this layer with white.

2.  Add a new raster layer and name it outline.  
Draw the outline like in the picture.
These were the colors I used but feel free to choose your own!

Hair = #A96F3B
Face/hands/foot = #CF9CF9
Dress = #E6C132
Wings = #C0C0C0

(I have done the face/hands/foot in blue so you could see it clearly.)

3.  Using your magic wand, select and flood fill each section.
I used these colors:

Hair = #CD9E71
Face/hands/foot = #DFBE97
Dress = #F4E9C2
Wings = #FFFFFF

You should now have something like this:

NOW FOR THE SHADING!

14.  Add a new raster layer, grab your magic wand and have 'sample merged' checked, click on the outside of the angel (the white background area).  

Selections > invert.
(this is so that the next steps don't 'bleed' over the outside of the angel)

15.  Using your paint brush at size one and color #C0C0C0
Draw in the wing details like this (I used red so you can see it clearly, also, it doesn't need to be exact hence no numbers!):

Add a gaussian blur of 1
Duplicate this layer twice so you now should have 3 copies of this layer!

KEEP SELECTED!!

16.  Add another raster layer.  Set your paint brush to these settings:

Using color #E6C142, draw in similar to this (I used red here so you could see it better):

Apply a gaussian blur of 1.5

18.  Apply another raster layer.  Select your airbrush/spray can, using color #A8503C and these settings:

spray in some blush like this (just a couple of clicks should do!!):

Apply a gaussian blur of 1.5 or 2, it's up to you!!
(I used 1.5)

19.  Hide the very bottom layer, (the white one!) and then merge visible.

Save as a psp. file.

That's it!  You should be done now!
