    Yes, I did eliminate one step, we did not color the pieces red first. I think you can fit the knits into the pieces without any difficulty. If you find this is harder for some reason then you can color it red first. We are moving faster with this scarf and doing more than one piece at a time.

    The white fur on the hats.
  • 18. First click on the ding outline of the bears. Select the paint brush. size 5, transparency 0, and soft edge 0. Use color  #DDDDDD. [You may want to go to View and click on show marquee to turn it off for this part.] No ss necessary.
    Paint directly on the black outline on the top of the hat just the ball and inside the ball area doing both hats like in the screen shot below.  When you're finished deselect.

     
  • Here are the settings for the charcoal brush below.

    Fix the settings like this in the Color tab and the Shape tab.     You can Add this brush to you're EP it's a good one for snow area also. ;0)
     
    Note: You won't be able to save this while you are painting in mode. You have to get out of mode to Save.

    Change the white background to a color, so when you paint you can see where the white is being chalked in. White on white is really hard to see...lol. I used green.
    You are going to paint in Mode inside the area where the ball on the hats are and the band of white is on the hats. This will look like fur is on the hats and it will stay on the top layer. Make a small circular motion as you paint on the inside of the area covering the background color completely. Along the outside edges so a series of taps, leaving just a little space, between each tap. Hold the brush just a little bit outside of the outside perimeter -redo when ever you need to. You can see on the ss below where I was holding the brush on the round ball part.


    Painting the outline to match the items.

  • 19. Select the bear ding outline.  This part is easy use the Paint Brush, the size was given in step #18, the first 2 lines.
    You are painting right on the bear ding outline which is black, except for the grey area we painted in step 18, before we chalked the white fur part. These are the colors I used.
    Red #600404: Blue #181E3F; Brown #3F1801. I will show you the finished one this is the last step. Be sure you SAVE him before you merge him together to use in different settings.
