 To make this banner bunny, all you need is PSP.

1.  Open a blank canvas of 100 X 150 pixels, flood fill with white and then make a second raster layer.  This is the layer that we will be drawing on so make sure it is the active layer by clicking on it.

2.  Pick your paintbrush, set at size one and draw the outline.

These are the colors I chose but feel free to choose your own.

Bunny: #AE7822
Banner: #98D6F2

3.  Pick your floodfill tool (bucket) and make sure that the 'sample merged' box is checked.  Fill in your banner bunny.

These are the colors that I chose:

Bunny: #EEDBBC
Banner: #6DEFFA

NOW FOR THE SHADING

4.  Pick your magic wand and select the head area.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout.

With these settings:

Vertical = 1
Horizontal = 0

Deselect.

5.  With your magic wand select the arms area.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout.

Deselect.

6.  With your magic wand select the legs area.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout.

With these settings:

Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 1
Opacity = 60

Apply this cutout again but change the horizontal to -1 (minus one)

Deselect.

7.  With your magic wand select the head area.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout.

With these settings:

Vertical = 1

8.  Make a third raster layer and draw the features.

These are the colors that I chose:

Inner ear, eyebrow, nose, mouth: #AE7822
Teeth: #C0C0C0
Eye blue: #24BEFE
Eye white and inside of teeth: #FFFFFF

 9.  Fill in the inner ears with #CF9C4A

10.  With your magic wand, select the inside of the inner ear on the left hand side (your left)

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout

With these settings:

Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 1
Opacity = 40
Blur = 2
Shade = 926310

Deselect.

11. Repeat step 10 for the right ear but changing the horizontal to -1 (minus one).

12.  Hide the bottom layer (the one we filled in white) and then merge visible.

Save as a psp. image
