Easy Crochet Doodle

What you will need for this lesson

PSP

A predrawn Doodle

you can always copy my image and use mine if you like

1.) First install picture tube

2.) Open new image 500 x 500

3.) open your doodle image

4.) Copy and paste that doodle image into

your new image as new layer

5.) Now create a new layer.. and grab your crochet Tube

6.) Start Tracing.. I used tube size 40...

Now keep in mind every item that you want

a different color you will have to make a new layer for..here is a shot of my settings

7.) Now once you have drawn out your doodle

on different layers.. Go to Adjust----Hue and Saturation---- Hue saturation--lightness

Make sure the colorize box is checked like mine..

You dont have to use my color..

8) Now after you colorized all layers..

Right click on your layers and merge visible..

Our Doodle is probably a lil thin.. for a dropshadow so do the following..

9) Create a new layer for each diff color you have. in your doodle..

Fill in with the crochet the spots that look a little bare..

just make sure that its on the layer below your original doodle..

10) now you will need to colorize each layer again..

Matching the colors might be a little hard

but dont worry .. it doesnt have to match perfectly

11.) When your done right click on your layers

again and merge visible..

12.) Now add a drop shadow and a background and your all done..

You could skip the background and dropshadow and save as gif or

for scrapping.. png..

Now if you make your own brush.. you may not have to do

the extra steps to fill in.. That may be the problem with my tube.LOL

Not sure..

Here is an additional Challenge

If you want to make another one with a different Tube..

Scroll all the way down to Scapbook Embellishments ..

They have some really great stitches and yarn you can play with..

I made this with those..

Also Here is another brush I made

get it here

Below is an example of what this stitch can do.. :)
