For this tutorial you will need the materials in the zip file below.

Thanks go to K@rine_Dre@ms for her lovely lady tube used in this tutorial.

Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named Warrior Woman. Please duplicate and close original tubes. Use the copies for your work so you will not lose the originals. Place the Preset Shape in your PSP/Preset Shapes folder if you don't have one there named all13. Export the wljsquares15 001 brush into your PSP/Brushes folder. Place the Forwhitfor.PspGradient into your PSP/Gradients folder. Place the Selections in your PSP/Selections folder. I have used the plugins Mura's Meister/Perspective, Neologoy and PSP effects in this tutorial. It is assumed you have a working knowledge of PSP to follow these directions. I have used PSPX8 but most PSP programs can be used. To work this tutorial, it is assumed you have some working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
