Time *REMAKE*

This is an old tutorial from 2010, but remade

Artwork ©Enys Guerrero

In order to use her art you must purchase a license and the tubes at CDO

Supplies: My background and gears here

The example was made with PSP X and Jasc Animation Shop

__________________________________

1.) Open my background or create your own, colorize to your liking

2.) Open the gears in your PSP and copy and paste each on your tag, for placement look at my

example

3.) Add on each gear a strong drop shadow, make sure to check "Shadow on new layer"

4.) When you are done with all gears merge all drop shadows with your background

5.) Highlight your top layer / Copy and paste your tube / Drop Shadow

6.) Add a new raster layer / select all / modify / contract by 2 pixels / invert and fill with a color of your choice / select none / add dropshadow 

I added some gears to the background layer / drop shadow and lowered the opacity to 75

7.) Merge frame with your tube layer

8.) Add text / your name and the artist's © /url and your license if needed and merge with

your tube layer too
