The next layer that I added to my bear was the purple band along the waistline of the pinafore with the "drawtool" at size 3, then selected it and applied a "Blade Pro" "softbevel" setting from "Mardi Whetmore...Web Graphics on a Budget". (Please see my links page). The last layer that I drew on my bear was the collar. This was again using the "draw tool" at size 2...antialiased. I shaded it with the "airbrush tool", as before, and then used the "inner bevel" with the same settings as before. I also added a small drop shadow to it. I later added another layer above it for the amethyst brooch that I made separately using a dingbat font and a gem tube. Graphic fonts and Blade Pro presets are a great resource for adding special touches to your bears...as are picture tubes. Remember to use them when you are dressing "your bare...bears"! *smile* Below is a screen shot of my "Easter Ladybear" with the layer palette showing the image before I merged the layers...put it on a larger background, and then added the hat, flowers and easter basket on separate layers, above, and behind the main bear.         All of the PSP image files that you downloaded on the first page of this tutorial are this size..."270 x 330 pixels". I add the main clothing elements to them in layers at this size...and then "layers...merge visible" to create one layer that I later add to a new image...approximately "312 x 350 pixels". The height of the new image often depends on the size of the hat I add, the width...usually depends of the size of what images I add to the hands/paws of each bear. Images in the "right hand/paw"...should go on a layer above the main bear, whilst images in the "left hand/paw"...should go on a layer below the main bear. Use your own discretion when making this decision...it will depend on the "additional image elements" that you add to "Your Bear"! *smile* Now I'm going to give you a few tips on creating clothing for "male bears". This will be more on the line of how to create the "shapes" of the articles of clothing that you might want to use. First off... when you are making "pants" for a bear...start with the body part and add a new layer for the pant top, then add the additional layers for the legs on both the left and the right. If you want to make "overalls"...it is usually better to merge visible the left pant leg and pant top shapes into one layer, before you fill with a pattern and do any shading. Secondly, when making a vest, or jacket that overlaps...always split them into 2 layers when drawing them on top of the "body". One...for the right side...and one for the left side. You can then "overlap" them and create a drop shadow so that they look like they are overlapping clothing. Always put "shirts" on before "vests, and vests before "jackets". If you are going to add a "bowtie"...put it on a layer just beneath the "head" layer. Without extending this tutorial on for several more pages...I think that I have given you the information you need to make your own costumed bears. Anything that you create from this tutorial that is different from the images I have provided...are your own, and can be used as you see fit.
