My Busby Barclay Bee

My Busby Barclay Bee

Hi all

Well I got to
creating today and I thought I’d try a Bee

However after
searching and search I couldn’t find a bee tut I liked

Only few out there so
I looked around for some ideas and came up with this

Little fellow... and
I’ve decided to write a tutorial for him for those that want to try

Supplies needed Eye
candy bevel

Eye candy 4000

Ok let’s go

First create a new
500x500 transparent image

Null your foreground
and background is black

Using your ellipse
tool draw out an oval shape

Align to the centre
and Convert to raster

Now use your mesh
tool to make a stinger do this until you’re happy

 

Now choose a
yellowish green colour for the body I used #b0ae13

Now using your
selection tool freehand point to point mark out small section for the yellow
band

And flood fill with
the yellow do this till you have as many bands of yellow as you want

 

Now go to Eye
Candy>impact>Bevel and use the following settings

59.67, 100, 100, 0,
inside selection, 0, shade interior checked,

Lighting 65, 47, 68,
60, highlight white, shadow black

Null your foreground
again and draw out a circle with your preset shape

Convert to raster and
use Eye candy bevel with same settings as before but change lighting to

66, 16, everything
else the same

Now move this to just
the right of your body

 

Now draw out a
slightly bigger circle for the head

And use eye candy
bevel again using the same settings but change lighting to

257, 60, 77, 73 all
others the same

Move the head to
slightly right of the small body

 

Now with your pen
tool draw freehand, tracking 10, create on vector checked, width 3, anti-alias
checked draw out your antennae

Convert to raster and
duplicate....move antenna until sitting way you like

Adjust your body as
you need to and merge visible

Now it’s wing time

With for foreground
null and background white draw out an oval with your ellipse preset shape

Then drop the opacity
to 20

Use cut-out with the following
settings

10, 10, 70, 40

Now free rotate wing
45 degrees

So you can see what you’re
doing you may want to create a new raster flood fill and send to bottom

Move the wing to the
body segment until sits where you want

Duplicate wing layer
and merge down

Duplicate merged
layer and mirror and place other wing

Duplicate a wing
layer and resize to 70% and then free rotate 45 degrees

Move this wing to
major body area and then duplicate and mirror

Move the wings around
until placed where you like

Now close off your
white raster layer and then merge visible

Now for the eyes

With your circle
preset tool draw out a small circle to fit on the face for eyes

Duplicate the white
eye and move so that you have both eyes equally placed

Change background
colour to black and still leaving foreground null draw out a smaller circle for
the pupils

Then move the pupils
until in position you like close all layers except the eyes and merge visible

And using eye candy
4000 glass use the following settings

Bevel 3, smoothness
82, inside marquee, 30, 35, 50, 0, 50, glass colour very light grey

Lighting is 91, 34,
100, and 40, highlight white, 0, and 300

Merge visible and
then save as png....
