Rudolph Tutorial for PSP 9

 
 

I have prepared a selection for this tutorial. I find it easier to use selections than drawing the images. It takes too much time editing the nodes and reshaping it.  Download the selections here and extract
it to your PSP selection file.

I used KPT5 collection for the fur. If you don't have KPT5 collection, you may download the furs I've made for this tutorial. It was made from KPT 5 collection or you may use your own fur pattern.

Download the furs here.
