Outline Tutorial

Here is my first try at writing a tutorial so please bear with me on this.  I can only do what I know and how I do it.

1. First fine a photo, clip art or anything you want to make an outline.  Bring it in to Paint Shop Pro. Here is one I did to show you.

Here is what I picked.

2. Next we are going to add the grid to the picture in order to get the grid you go to View and click on grid, a set of lines will show up. like this

I have my grid set to 1 square,  In order to do that if you have not we need to go to View, click on Grid Guide and Snap Properties and we changed that to this.

so once we have that set we need to only go to View and click on Grid and it will do it  automatic .

Back to outline.

3.Next what I do is I make my picture very big here is an example

I want you to notice on the right in this photo I have added another Raster layer, and I have my top square in black, I do mine in black you can do any color you want.  Once you have your image up big you take your paint brush and go along the the lines of the image you are doing, also remember to do the inside stuff also.

4. Here I will show you what you should see next and you can check your out also.

You will notice that on the top raster layer to the right it is in blue and if you look at the picture I have started with the painting the outline in black.

5.  Next I will show you with the raster layer 1 not showing what you will see.

this is what you should see when you turn off layer 1.

6. Next I will show you what the outline looks like when completed down.

I am still in the very big zoom mode still. 

7.  Here is what my outline is like when I bring down to 100%

There we are and now we can save this in animation shop as a gift .  So what you do is copy and paste in animation you will still have your checkboard backgound . So we go to animation and paste as new animation and now we go to file and go down to save as and follow what it says.

I do hope I was able to explain this to you where you will understand it.
