How to Make a Dead Bear

In Paint Shop Pro 7

First, go get the Paint Shop Pro 7 Demo HERE.
When you have that open a new file with a white background that is bigger than 300 x 300.
1. Go to File->New
2. Set height and width to about 350 x 350 pixels.
3. Set background to white and image type to 16.7 million colors.
Make an ellipse with a black outline and any color inside.
1. Side toolbar->Shapes button.
2. In tool options window select Ellipse.
3. Drag on canvas.
Make three more ellipses for ears and the chin.
Make a big ellipse for the body.
Now here's the tricky part; make an ellipse for the right arm, make an ellipse for the right leg, make at two ellipses for the left arm (with the ends overlapping to form an elbow), and make 3 ellipses for the leg (hip, leg, foot).
Make a different colored ellipse for the collar.
Click the object select button and select the different shapes and arrange them as shown.
1. Toolbars->Object Select
2. Select an object
3. Right-click->Arrange->Move to Top/to Bottom/Up/Down
Now, make small black circles (Shift+drag) for the eyes and nose and an ellipse for the mouth.
Here's the second complicated part: Node-Editing
Node Editing allows you to edit any shape by adding or deleting points and transforming the shape using these points. This makes creating specialized shapes like a leg and foot together many times easier than you may think. Confused? Read ahead the next couple of steps before doing any of them.
To Node Edit, select an object and click node edit in the tool options box OR right-click on the object and select Node Edit at the bottom of the list.
You will see a thin line version of the object come up and there will be points.
So that we're all on the same page, select the right ear and click node edit.
You will see four points on the line of the circle.
Add a point (Ctrl+Left-Click) by where the ear meets the head.
Click on the point that is inside the head and press the Delete key.
Add more points and move them around as needed to create more of an ear shape
Click outside the image to stop node-editing and node-edit the left ear as well.
Node edit the chin to delete the top part and shape it.
Shape the head and mouth.
Shape two black inner ears.
Side note: if any one object is too big or not shaped right, play around with the boxes when the object is selected. To make an object bigger or smaller to scale, right-click on one of the corner boxes and drag.
