The first step is to find a picture, this one is clip art I found on one of my disks I purchased. Sometimes I use pictures from coloring pages. You must use a picture that you are sure does not have a strict copyright. Some pictures I used are also one's I scan, that my Granddaughter draws for me on paper with pencils. We are going to use mine for this tut. Which you can download here or the link at the top.
This is a long tutorial as I have tried to give you lots of details. Many have asked me to write a tutorial on how I do people. I am not an expert by no means, but I try.
