(update for PSP 8-13 coming soon!)

If you are new to using vectors and haven't reviewed the Beginner Basics, please do so now.   On that page  is a review of the PSP tools, definitions of vector terminology, plus a tutorial for creating the Egg Preset Shape that we'll be using in all tuts.


This Easy Mouse tutorial was originally written in 2001 and is probably one of the easiest toons to draw with vector tools.   A great beginners project!   

Color settings for this tut: Select black for stroke color and any mouse color of your choice for fill. Pick a pastel, a bright color, a realistic color...doesn't matter...this is a cartoon!! I'll be using #BBA5AD, a lavender gray....for no particular reason! *G*    Both Texture boxes should be set to null.Ø


Remember, in Paint Shop Pro 7, to select any vector object for editing you must use the Object Selector.
