We are going to do two different kinds of spotlights, the front view shown on the left above and the back view shown on the right above.
For this tutorial you will need
Paint Shop Pro
The Following Colour Chart
Save and then open in PSP.
Ok we are ready to start.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1: - Spotlight 1
We will be starting with the spotlight outline shown below. The outline has been resized a lot so you can see it clearly.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Open a new image 200 x 200 transparent.
Flood fill with white so you can see what you are working on. Delete this layer at the end.
Turn the grid on so you can see the single pixels by going to View - Grid - then View - Change Grid, Guide and Snap Properties. Under Current Image Settings change the Horizontal and Vertical grids to 1.
Add a new Raster Layer and name Outline.
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000%
Change colours as you go as indicated on the outline chart.
The center circle outline is colour 1 (#000000), the shutter outlines surrounding the center circle are colour 2 (#575757), the two 4 pixel lines and the single pixel slightly to the right of the shutters are colour 3 (#0F0F0D) and the hanger part of the spotlight is colour 4 (#3A3838) on your colour chart.
I know I usually start at the highest point but for this one we will start with the center circle.
Set your foreground to colour 1 (#000000) on the colour chart and start drawing the outline.
You can move it later if you need to.
Step 2: - Fills
When all of your outline is complete, select your magic wand with the following settings and click inside the center circle of the spotlight.
Add a new raster layer called Fill and move this beneath your outline layer in the layer palette.
Select colour 5 (#FAF5D7) on your colour chart, click on the Fill layer to activate it and flood fill that selection.
Keep selected.
