This is the soften  setting I use.

1. Load alpha channel tail flood fill with #808080. Add new layer air brush around edges with #404040  darkest at tip. Smudge.

2. Load alpha channel ears flood fill with the lighter gray. Do the same as above. Add new layer change back ground color to #E47067 and foreground to #F5C5C3. Spray the inside of ears as in screen shot. Use white at the bottom edge. Soften then apply eye candy 4 settings. Brownian motion, bubble size 7.30, warp amount 2.46, twist 100, random seed 1.

3. Load alpha channel right arm, flood fill with gray as in step 1. Add new layer spray around edges and smudge.  Add new layer change size to 2 or 3 and draw in some fingers as in screen shot. Soften.

4. Load body alpha channel flood fill with the gray. Load and flood fill the rest of the mouse parts. For the eyes I used black, nose #E47067, mouth #8B0000. We will work on them after the body part is done. It is just easier to see where to put the shading with them filled in. Click on the body layer and add new layer. Use #404040 for the shading. Spray as shown in screen shots. Smudge. Keep selected.

5. Add new layer change foreground color to #C0C0C0 spray as in screen shot then gaussian blur 2 and apply eye candy setting as above. Add new layer and do the same with white spraying just inside the gray. Add new layer and spray just a little of the pink for his cheeks then gaussian blur 2. Drag it under the gray layers.

6. Click on the mouth layer click on the lock in the layer pallet. Use a dark red and spray around mouth, add a spray or two of the light pink for the high light as in screen shot. Soften edges Smudge Use draw tool size 2 color black to draw a little line between nose and mouth. Lower opacity a little about 70 or so.

7. Click on the nose layer apply the round inner bevel changing the depth to 3.

8. For the eyes. I just load alpha channel  selections/modify/contract by 1. Then spray the white then blue then black and a dot of white for highlight. Then tap the edges with the soften tool.

9. Load left arm alpha channel. Do the same as you did in step 3.

10. Load foot alpha channel flood fill with the gray. Add new layer use airbrush with darker gray around edges. Change  size to 3, draw in some toes. Soften then lower opacity to 75 if they are to dark. Add new layer use  #F5C5C3 spray inside of foot the use #E47067 to spray under the toes as in screen shot. Spray some light pink on tops of toes. Smudge  Turn off all other layers and merge foot layers. Duplicate and mirror image.

That's all there is to making the mouse.

Hope everyone had fun with this.
