Drawing the eyes
This tutorial was done using Corel PSP X2 but it should work with earlier
versions.
You need to have a good working knowledge of psp and working with pixels.
Don’t forget to save often. I probably won’t keep reminding you so don’t
forget.
This tutorial assumes you've done my base tutorial or have a similar base for the eyes.
This tutorial was written completely by me but a lot of what I'm saying
I learned from doing tutorials at various sites.
Unfortunately most of those sites are no longer working so I can't link
to them for you.
If you want your eyes to be the same color as mine, save my color pallet to your computer.
If your base is still on a 300 x 300 canvass, open that now.
If not, open a new transparent canvass 300 x 300 and flood fill the bottom
layer with white.
Zoom in 800% and turn on your grid.
Open your doll base and copy and paste it to a new layer.
Add a new layer and call it left eye.
We'll start by drawing the outside of the eye.
For this I used colors 1, 2, 3, and black.
We'll continue drawing more of the outside of the eye using colors 6 and white.
Now for some colors inside the eye.
We'll use black for the pupil and add shades of blue around it.
Colors 1 - 6.
Now for some eye lashes.
You can use black or color 7 if you want brown eye lashes.
To make the right eye, we're going to duplicate this layer and image
mirror.
If you asked a more experienced psp user, they would say you shouldn't do
this because it makes the eyes look cross eyed,
but to tell you the truth, I don't see it so we'll go with the mirrored
look.
Add a new layer for the eyebrows.
Using color 8, draw some eyebrows over both eyes.
Add a new layer for the nose and mouth.
I used #c9967a for the nose.
#a52f2f for the outside of the mouth.
And #dd8585 for the inside of the mouth.
Your eyes are done.
If you're going to continue on with my doll tutorials and make the hair,
save your work and click next below.
If you want to save the eyes nose and mouth to use on other dolls, turn
off all layers except eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows and merge visible.
Copy and paste as a new image.
Save and or export to picture tube.
Go back to your original work and undo the merge visible.
Turn all layers back on if you're going to continue to the hair tutorial.
That's it.
