ANIMATION STATION
1. Go to ELVIS 1 and close him out. Close out Elvis 3 and 4. You are going to work on ELVIS 2 at this time. Zoom in on ELVIS 2. Select your freehand selection tool. Outline the MICROPHONE in his hand with your selection tool like this:
2. Edit/Copy/Cut/Paste as new layer. Once you have pasted, move microphone back into original position temporarily. However, MOVE the microphone BELOW Elvis 2. You are now going to use your pick tool to move his arm and the microphone. Pick into this position:
Once you have it in this position or similar, merge ELVIS 2 and the microphone down together. Rename ELVIS 2.
3. Close out ELVIS 2 and open ELVIS 3. Use your freehand selection tool to outline his other arm. It should look like this:
4. Edit/Copy/Cut/Paste as new layer. Move back into original position and then move below ELVIS 3. use your pick tool to move this arm up like this:
5. On the new arm layer, activate your WARP TOOL. Set to size 22. You are going to "paint in" the missing arm. Use the warp tool to paint down a little bit at a time until you have the entire arm painted in. Like this:
Finish painting like this:
Once you have it painted to your satisfaction, Merge Elvis 3 down into the new arm. Rename ELVIS 3.
Close out ELVIS 3 and open ELVIS 4.
6. Create a new raster layer above ELVIS 4. Use your color dropper to pick a color from the eyelid of the ELVIS 4 tube. I used color #f2c1a6, a cream/beige color. Activate your airbrush tool. Size 34 for first paint. Paint over eye by applying airbrush at size 34 right in the middle of the eye, just inside lash borders. Then downsize your airbrush to 20 and finish filling in to the inner and outer corners until you have this:
Add NEW RASTER LAYER. Move it above your airbrush eye. Use airbrush again, size 20 and paint a lighter shade of the original beige you just used. Adjust/Blur/Gaussian Blur/3.00. Merge the blur down into the airbrushed eyeball. Go to THE ELVIS 4 tube and using your warp brush paint down in tiny strokes so you are eliminating the top eyelashes and jagged edges around your new eyeball. Like this:
Once you have applied your blur, and used your warp tool to paint around eye on ELVIS 4, merge all parts together. RENAME ELVIS 4. You are now going to apply an eyelash. He is winking. Open EYELASH from supply folder.
Edit/Copy/Paste as new layer/move into this position:
Merge down into ELVIS 4. Rename ELVIS 4.
