This was a quick tutorial and I wanted to do an animation with a bunny for Easter. If you will notice I am trying something new. There is a zip file named ExamplesPaintBunny. These are examples of where and what you should have at that point. If you will unzip them and open in PSP you will have them right there so you don't go back and forth from tutorial to PSP. I hope you like this idea and it works out well for you. It saves a lot of space in html so I will have more room for tutorials. Let me know what you think by clicking on the link at the bottom. I hope you like this tutorial.


What you will need to do this tutorial:
1. PSP 7

5. With Magic Wand click on the outside of the egg tube.

17. Go to Layers>New Rastar click ok.

27. Move the bunny to the end of the curly. So it looks like you just finished it.
28. Hold down the shift key on keyboard and click on "D".
