By using this tutorial you agree to my terms

For this tutorial you will need Jasc PSP 9 . This was written using 9 but it can be done in 8 and 7 with some adjustments.

For those that are using my alpha channel canvas you can get it HERE For PSP7 users you wont be able to use the distress brush.

The smudge brush I use you can get  SMUDGE BRUSH PRESETS AND BRUSHES  PJ-Distress is one that I use a lot to make a textured like effect.

I use the Hairy brushes  If you don't have them you can get the brushes HERE

For those using the alpha channel canvas:   For each step load alpha channel selections, then flood fill with certain colors. To keep from typing the same thing for each layer I will just type the layer we will be working on.  After you have flood fill the layer click on the lock in the layer pallet.

Load the barrel alpha channel, flood fill with the first color on chart. Use 2 and 3 colors to spray all over using airbrush setting below.  Spray all over as in second screen shot.

Use the smudge brush pj-distress that you downloaded. Smudge in a  down ward curved angle like slats. Below is what I cam up with.

Load bands layer and flood fill with black. We will work on them in a bit but first we need to draw some lines for slats. Use the pen tool size 3 foreground color black and background set to nil. Use the point to point bezier and draw some line as in screen shot.

Click back on the barrel layer. Click on selection tool then selections/select all then click on barrel that will select the barrel. Add new layer.

Change to airbrush and use 4 and 5th color for shading as in next screen shot. Smudge as before.

For the slat lines gaussian blur 1.

Now go back to the bands layer and lock the layer. Use 2nd and 3rd color on chart and spray as you did before. Smudge from side to side to blend colors. Go to Effects/texture effects/texture/ apply the dimples preset. Below is what I came up with.

Click back on the barrel layer and select it again so it has the ants around it. Add new layer and make sure it is under the bands layer. Use black and air brush some shadow then smudge it to blend. If your spray is too dark just lower opacity to 50 to 75%. Below is what I have so far.

Click on inside layer and do the same as you did for the barrel layer. Add new layer for the lines and light color for shadings. When done go to Adjust/ brightness -16.

Go back again to the barrel layer and select and add new layer. Use black and go around the top back edges smudge to blend. Use just a little around the front. Go around the sides some too. Smudge to blend.

Click on the hole layer and flood fill with black, spray some white in center and smudge.

Hope everyone had fun with this.
