Overalls
I used #4f6187 for my foreground or outside color.
Set your foreground color and click rectangle preset shape again, same settings as before.
Starting at 82x71, draw a rectangle shape down to 118x135.
Add 5 nodes along the top at 90x71, 95x71, 100x71, 105x71, and 110x71.
Starting at the center node, pull this down to 100x82.
Pull the next node to your left to 95x82.
The next node to your left to 94x71, and the last node on the left to 89x71.
Starting at the top outside right node, pull this towards the left to 111x71.
Pull the second node from the top right to 106x71.
And the third node from the top right to 105x82.
Add 3 nodes along the bottom at 99x135, 100x135, and 101x135.
Pull the bottom center node up to 100x110.
If you like how these overalls are looking, rename the vector layer to overalls and save it as a preset shape.
My shirt is showing along the side of my overalls so I need to fix that.
Right click the bottom right node and change the node type to curve before.
Pull the handle to the right a little, about 3 pixels, until you don’t see your yellow shirt.
If I hover over my arrow, I’m at 119x119.
Now I need to fix the left side.
Right click the node and change it to curve after.
Pull the node to the left about 3 pixels or until you can’t see your yellow shirt.
If I hover over my arrow, I’m at 81x119.
Be sure to save.
Details
We’ve made our basic shapes for the bear’s clothes so now let’s add some detail to them.
First, convert your layers to raster layers.
Turn off the overalls so we can see what we’re doing while we work on the shirt.
Using your magic wand, select the shirt.
Flood fill it with #fae97f or what ever color you want your shirt to be.
Selections invert.
Apply a drop shadow using these settings:
Vertical and Horizontal 0,
Opacity 100.
Blur 8.
Invert and add 5% uniform noise.
Deselect.
I wanted my bear to have some stripes on his shirt so I just pixeled some in.
Add a new layer called stripes.
Make sure you’re zoomed into 800% and have your grid on.
For this I turned my overalls layer back on since I really only needed to put stripes in the areas that would be visible.
You can add stripes to the whole shirt if you like.
Set your paintbrush to square, size 1, Hardness 100, step 25, Opacity 100 and pixel in some lines for the stripes.
You can use my example for your stripes.
Turn your overall layer back on if it’s not already and select it with your magic wand.
Flood fill with #98a7c4 or what ever color you want your pants to be.
Go to Effects>>Texture effects>>Blinds and use these settings.
Width 3
Opacity 14
Color black
Horizontal and Light from left top are NOT checked.
Click ok.
Selections invert and apply a drop shadow>>
Vertical and Horizontal 0>> Opacity 50>> Blur 19>> Shadow color>> #4f6187.
Invert and apply 5% uniform noise.
Deselect
If you like, you can add some more detailing to the pants like a pocket and some stitching and even buttons.
I just pixel this in.
Add a new layer for your details.
Again, you can follow my examples.
When you’re all done with your detail, turn off your background layer and merge visible.
Before we save our finished bear, be sure you are zoomed into 800% and have your grid turned on. Erase any fur that might be showing on the outside of your shirt, if you added fur to your bear.
You may also want to erase a pixel or two at your overall corners, just so they don’t look so square.
When you are satisfied, save your work. You can delete your background layer. Copy and paste your bear as a new image.
This will get rid of any canvass area you don’t need.
Tube this or save it as a gif in The Animation Shop.
That’s it.
I hope you were able to follow my tutorial.
