Step 4.

This is the 2nd part of the tutorial to create an animated pixel art character, using Photoshop and Image Ready. Next, select the pencil tool (image a), setting the diameter to 1 pixel (image b). Create the outline of the 1st shoe (image c) using dark green (4A6300). on a new layer in a new layer set. All the layers of the character will be created inside the layer set, so that we can easily move the whole character around but still have the ability to manipulate individual parts.

Step 5.

Color the shoe with grey (E0E0E0) and light green (7FAB00) . Duplicate it and flip it horizontally (edit > transform flip horizontal). Merge the 2 layers together, naming the layer "shoes". Make a new layer calle "legs-1" and then create 2 small legs (image b), using light pink (FFE0D3) for the center and a darker tone (A77966) for the outline. On the same layer, create the shorts.

Step 6.

You should now have 2 layers, 1 named "legs-1" and the other named "shoes". Next go to Part 3 of this Photoshop Tutorial.
