Create a new image
I've started large enabling
me to see details better. Later you can resize your image.
-
Add a new layer, Name it
bkgd
-
Flood fill
with pattern you'd like
-
The only setting that matters
is the opacity.
I also rotated this layer
so it would look better
(I did this on a new layer
so I could easily change it at another time.)

-
In your color palette:
-
Set Foreground color brown
Background color yellow
-
Create a new layer, Name
it penguin body (my screen captures will show bear body instead of penguin)
-
Women's Perrogative, you
know! ;o)
-
Using the Selection Tool:
Begin at co-ordinates [200,250]
drag cursor out to [110,150]
The co-ordinates need
not be exact, they are just a guideline.
You could also fill with
fabric (pattern fill), if desired.
We will texturize later.

-- drag line upward -- drag
again nearer the end to shape
curvature of top portion
of arm
Line drawn so ends meet
& shaped
|
-
Create a new layer, Name
it left arm
-
Using Line Tool:
Draw line from coordinates
[180,165] to [30,235]
Using mouse close to lower
end drag line upward, and drag again nearer the end to shape.
Hide penguin body layer and
draw line so both ends meets previous line.
Using mouse, shape line
as you would like the arm to look.
You may have to zoom in to
see what you are doing. Remember if you don't like the way it looks you
can undo.

Flood Fill twice in arm selection
just drawn
Click on Layer Visibilty
Toggle
to make penguin body
layer visible again.
Using the deformation tool
Don't worry that it overlaps
the body, we will take care of that in a bit.

Activate left arm layer
-
Using the eraser tool
-
Eraser settings:
Lower the opacity of penguin
body layer
This enables you to see the
portion of the arm that is on the body (particularly useful if you've used
a different pattern)
Erase the portion of
the arm that is covering the body. Having selected the penguin body you
need not be careful erasing as it will only erase in the selected area.
This procedure will leave a slight line to give the impression of a body
separation.
Follow the same procedure
to make the other arm, making sure to create a new layer. I named mine
right arm.

I unchecked antialias here
because the feet didn't seem to fill fully with color.

color then fill remainder of foot with choice of pattern
Edit || Copy
