To make this pixel dog,
all you need is PSP.
1. Open a
transparent canvas of 100 X 150. This should give
us plenty of room to work with.
Flood fill this layer with white and then make a second
raster layer, this is the layer that we will be drawing
on so make sure that it is the active layer by clicking
on it.
2. Draw the
outline by following the picture.
These are the colors that I chose but please feel free
to pick your own!
Dark brown = #704C22
lighter brown = #8C6130
Collar = #025EDA
(I have colored the dark brown bits in
red so that you can see them properly!)
3. Next pick your
flood fill tool (the bucket) and making sure that the
'sample merged' box is checked, fill in each section.
These are the colors I chose:
Dark brown (back patch
and muzzle) = #8C6130
Light brown (main body and paw) = #BF8F6B
Collar = #6A9EE4
NOW FOR THE SHADING
4. With your
magic wand, select the dog's muzzle.
Selections > Float
> Effects > 3D Effects
With these settings:
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 1
Opacity = 100
Blur = 7
Shade = #704C22
Deselect.
5. With your
magic wand, select the dog's back patch.
Selections > Float
> Effects > 3D Effects
With these settings:
Vertical = 1
Horizontal = -2
Opacity = 100
Blur = 8
Shade = #704C22
Deselect.
6. With your
magic wand, select the dog's head.
Selections > Float

With these settings:
Vertical = 1
Horizontal = -1
Opacity = 100

magic wand, select the dog's paw.
Selections > Float

With these settings:

magic wand, select the dog's collar.
Selections > Float
> Effects > 3D Effects
With these settings:
Vertical = 2
Horizontal = -1
Opacity = 100
Blur = 4
Shade = #025EDA
Deselect.
8. Next, add a
third raster layer, we will be drawing the features onto
this layer so make sure it is active by clicking on it.
9. Draw the
features by following the next picture.
These are the colors
that I have used:
Ear = #704C22
Mouth, eye and nose = #000000 (black)
10. Flood fill
the ear with #8C6130
11. With your
magic wand, select the dog's ear.
Selections > Float
> Effects > 3D Effects
With these settings:
Vertical = 3
Horizontal = -1
Opacity = 100
Blur = 8
Shade = #704C22
Deselect.
12. Hide the or
delete the first layer and then merge visible.
Save your image as a PSP file for future use.
That's it, you're now
the proud owner of a little doggy that is easy to look
after!! lmbo!
