Ladybug

REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN

Part 2 of our Ladybug
I repeat steps 4 through 8 here again,
so you don't have to scroll back and forth all the time

4. Convert layer to raster
5. Select all....select float
6. Effects....Noise....Add 3 uniform
7. Add a new layer
8. Effects...3D cutout...Deselect

27. Turn Background colour to Foreground colour again
28. Unlock Background colour, set to gradients again, same settings
We are going to work on the arms and legs...:))
29. Arm 1 ...Draw an ellipse, antialias and vector checked.
30. Object selector...node edit...shape arm 1 like in the screenshot
I made the screenshots much bigger so you can see the shape clearly

31. Repeat steps 4 through 7
32 Effects....3D cutout with the following settings...

33. Close all other layers and merge Arm 1 visible
34. Duplicate Arm 1 and drag this layer underneath the bodylayer
36. Arm 3 (the one with the single flower) Repeat steps 29 and 30

37. Repeat steps 4 through 8
38. Turn off visibility off all other layers and merge visible
39. Add new layer
40. Leg 1 ...draw an ellipse...antialias , vectors checked.
41. Handle the nodes till you have something like this (see below)

42. Repeat steps 4 through 8
43. Turn off visibility off all other layers and merge visible
44. Drag this leg underneath th bodylayer
45. Add new layer
46. Leg 2 ...draw an ellipse...antialias , vectors checked.
47. Handle the nodes till you have something like this (see below)

48. Repeat steps 4 through 8
49. Turn off visibility off all other layers and merge visible
50. Add new layer

We should have something that looks like this by now...:))
We are going to make three hands all different but the cutout settings
for all three are the same ...(see screenshot)..you can change it now ..:)

51. Set Background to FFFFFF, Foreground to E8E8E8
52. Draw an ellipse..... antialias, vector checked
53. Handle the nodes again till you have a shape like the hands in the screenshots
Remember I used alot of cusp nodes

54. Repeat steps 4 through 8
55. Turn off visibility off all other layers and merge visible
Remember to make the hands one by one and merge visible
Name them hands 1 2 3...
That makes it easier when we are going to arrange layers
Don't mind hand 3 isn't looking like one....he's going to the bottom layer
and will be covered by the flowers anyway..:))
We still have to make some cuffs
We'll make 5 of them each a little differently shaped but I have screenshots
of all 5 of them ...
56. Draw an ellipse..... antialias, vector checked
57. Handle the nodes again till you have a shape like the cuffs in the screenshots
Remember I used alot of cusp nodes

Cuffs for the hands...

58. Repeat steps 4 through 8
59. Turn off visibility off all other layers and merge visible
Remember to make the cuffs one by one and merge visible

Cuffs for the legs....
