8. We will now draw an eclipse, vector unchecked, for the bobble. So create a new layer, name it bobble, and set your foreground to white. Draw an eclipse, with the selection tool draw around it and click to select then apply the FibreOptix bobble preset. Selections/none.

9. So you thought the hat was hard we've now got to do the antlers, unless you want to download mine, I've made a tube. If not then here we go. With the shape tool, vector selected draw an eclipse and then edit and add nodes, and maybe rotate a tad. When you are happy with the shape convert to raster layer and with the selection tool draw around the antler and click to select and apply the FibreOptix antler preset. Selections/none.

Now go to image/effects/inner bevel and use these settings.

Now duplicate the antler layer and go to image/mirror then drag it down so that it is beneath the hat layer. if it makes things easier for you, you can name these layers antler left and antler right but we are nearly done now, phew, gasp.

10. Now for the ears. With the shapes tool, vector checked, draw an eclipse and yes, you got it, edit the nodes to make an ear shape. When you are happy with the shape get the selection tool, draw around the ear and click to select then apply the FibreOptix fur preset. Selections/none. Now you need to do the same again, only slightly smaller for the inner ear. Only this time use the FibreOptix ear preset.

Go to the layer palette and, by clicking on the glasses, make it so that only the 2 ear layers are visible, merge layers visible and duplicate the layer, then go to image/mirror. Click on the glasses again so that all the layers are visible and move the ears until you are happy with their positioning.

11. Nearly there :o) We'll now do the eye's. Make a new layer, change the foreground colour to black, using the shapes tool draw a small circle, yeah circle not eclipse :o) vector not checked. Go to image/effects/inner bevel using these settings 

Drag the layer down to below the merged layer but above the shadow. Duplicate the eye layer and then move across.

Ok, we're very nearly done, all we need to do now is to draw in the mouth. Click on the very top layer to make active and create a new layer. Use the draw tool with the following settings

Now draw the mouth and voila!!!!!!

I hope you had fun and I hope you didn't pull out too much hair :o)

For a different look change the colour used when making your shapes or chose a different lighting effect in FibreOptix and play around with the settings. If you create a setting you like don't forget to save the preset :o)
