Hi dear visitors !

All you need for this tutorial is PSP7, although this tutorial can be done in all versions! Remember to save often !

We'll be making this coffee cup. This is my own creation. Download my outline here.

Open my outline, hit shift + D to open an new image, close the original outline for further use.

Duplicate the layer 'Anita's kop outline' toggle visibility off. On your bottom layer select with your magic wand the bottom coffee cup area. Floodfill with a gradient of your choice. Make sure the gradient will give you a darker side for a 3D effect. Settings are : H & V = 50 - Angle = 90 - Repeats = 1.

Select the upper part of your cup and repeat this step.

Activate your retouch tool and select : Lighten RGB with these settings : Round - size = 32 - hardness = 0 - opacity and density = 100 - step = 25. Now you brighten up the sides of the cup a bit and the bottom of the coffee much with a few brush strokes.

Activate the copy of 'Anita's kop outline' go to select -> all -> float and floodfill with your gradient. Apply these settings : H & V = 50 - Angle = 40 - Repeats = 1.

Apply a new raster layer name it decorations and now you can start decorating your mug. Once you've decorated it, select your retouch tool : Darken RBG with these settings : Round - size = 32 - hardness = 0 - opacity and density = 100 - step = 25. Only apply this on the sides where your mug is darker, so your decoration will blend in nicely with your darker part of your mug.

Apply a new raster layer for your name. Pick a color that will go nicely with your gradient and apply your name. Apply a inner bevel - settings : Width = 12 - Smoothness = 75 - Depth = 51 - Ambiance = -58 - Shininess = 21 - Color = #FFFFFF - Angle = 45 - Intensity = 77 - Elevation = 90.

Merge all yer layers and your finished ! I hoped you liked doing my tutorial :)
