This tutorial was written by me. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence. Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own. It was written in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.




I am using the artwork of Pinup Toons. You need a license to use his tubes. You can buy this tube at CDO

I am using the FTU kit Owl Always Bee There by Gimptastic Scraps
