Steampunk Fan Exclusive Tutorial by Wendy at Wendez Watermark

 






This tutorial was written May 8th, 2021 for those with moderate knowledge of PSP.

I am using the Exclusive artwork of Alehandra Vanhek purchased at PFD  HERE

Exclusive kit called Artistic Automaton by PPP available at Artistic Tag Passions Forum HERE

Mask by Basima - 2021-03 Spring Mask 4 found on Creative Misfits Blog HERE

Plugins: Mura's Meister - Copies
         Toadies - What Are You

*Remember to sharpen elements as you resize: I use unsharp mask: 1/50/5 luminance checked*


Open your version of Corel PSP:
New image 675 x 675 px transparent.
Flood fill white
Elem #135 - 34% C/P
Apply Mura's Meister copies Plugin - Encircle - number 12, Shift X - 65, Shift Y - 66
Apply Toadie's What Are You? Plugin - change values to 10/10.


Add new raster layer, select all, copy Paper 34 & paste into the selecton. Cntl D to deselect.
Apply mask. Merge group.
Elem 171 - 75% C/P
Frame 11 - 57% C/P, D/S
Elem 64 - 75% C/P - duplicate, mirror, place side by side & merge down to each other.
Resize this 72% & place in the top half of the frame.
Elem 181 - 75% C/P, place slightly to left, duplicate & mirror

We will work with Elem 75 separately. 
Open elem 75, using selection tool - eclipse, feather 0, draw a selection inside this cameo frame
Selections - Edit - use 'Pick tool' to adjust size of the selection. 
Selections Edit again to exit. Press delete. Do not deselect.
open main tube C/P as new layer below frame, adjust and resize as desired, invert selection, delete, Cntl D. 

Duplicate tube, change blend mode to soft light, dec opacity to 69%, merge down.
Merge frame layer to tube layer. C/P on working image.


On working image, resize this cameo frame to your liking. Duplicate & close copy.

Elem 68 - 67% C/P, move down 

Main tube - 65% C/P sitting inside trunk. Erase or use freehand selection tool to delete part of tube.
*Tip: decrease opacity of main tube for precise placement, then draw selection or erase to rid of excess tube*

D/S both trunk & main tube.
