For this tutorial you will need a working knowledge of vector shapes, KPT5 FibreOptix and my fur preset, this needs to be extracted to KPT5/presets/FibreOptix folder.

I have had many requests for information on where to purchase KPT5, it is contained in the KPT Collection and is available from Corel.

1. Open a new image with a transparent background 400 x 450. Set the background to white, null the foreground. Select the preset shapes tool and draw an ellipse, antialias and vector checked, #1 solid, width 1. Using the object selector , right click your shape and choose node edit from the menu. Pull down the bottom node. Quit node editing and slightly rotate the shape.

Convert to raster layer and rename to face. Ctrl+A, Ctrl+F (selects and floats). Bring up FibreOptix and apply the bearfur preset. Crtl+D (selection none).

2. Draw another vector ellipse over the face but slightly smaller, this will be the muzzle. Edit the node and rotate to match the angle of the face.

When you are happy with the shape convert the layer to raster and name muzzle.

3. Make the face layer active. Use the retouch tool at the settings shown, create shading around the edge of the nuzzle.

                   

4. Create a new layer naming it ear. With the presets shape tool draw an ellipse, vector unchecked, for the ear. Ctrl+A ,Ctrl+F, apply the FibreOptix bearfur preset. Ctrl+D. Layers/arrange/send to bottom. Duplicate the ear layer, image/mirror. Move the duplicated ear until you are happy with it's placement.

Make the face and muzzle layer invisible, merge visible, rename the merged layer ears.
