This tutorial was written using Paint Shop Pro 8
Open a new image, transparent background, 400 x 400
Starting with the body use #CEAB74 for the outline color
Select the inside of the body with the magic wand and flood fill with a lighter color #E5D1B1
Add a new raster layer and make her dress, I used #6D876D for the outline and #A0B2A0 for the fill color
On the same layer make her shirt, I used #E0CA9C for the outline and #F7F0E3 for the fill color
Add a new raster layer and make some hair, I used #CFA235 for the outline and #E1C581 for the fill color
Add a new raster layer right above the body, change your paintbrush size to 8 and your color to #DF7955 and make to cheeks
Go to "adjust" "blur" "gaussian blur" and change the number to 3
Use the eraser tool to erase any of the blurred cheeks going outside the head outline
turn the opacity of this layer down to about 55
Add a new raster layer and make her face, changing your brush size back to 1
Add a new raster layer and make a little doll
and another doll
Give the first doll some hair, I used #9A6526 for the outline and #CF8C35 for the fill
and the other dolls hair, I used #9E7B28 for the outline and #CFA535 for the fill
and here is what we have so far......
Make the body layer active and use the magic wand to select the head
Use a cutout with these settings
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 100
Blur = 6
Shadow
Color = same as outline
Fill interior with color (checked) = same as
fill
deselect and merge all visible layers
select the neck with the magic wand and use the same cutout, deselect
select the right arm and use the same cutout
select the left arm and use the same cutout
select the right foot and use the same cutout
select the left foot and use the same cutout
Select inside the dress with the magic wand, make sure you select between the dolls legs holding down the shift key
Use a cutout with these settings
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 100
Blur = 8
Shadow
Color = same as outline
Fill interior with color (checked) = same as

Do not deselect
Go to "adjust" "add/remove noise" "add noise" and use these settings
for the shirt, select the right sleeve and use the cutout below, then select the left sleeve and use the same cutout and then the neck area and use the same cutout.
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 100
Blur = 6
Shadow
Color = same as outline
Fill interior with color (checked) = same as
fill
using a much lighter color #CAD6CA I added some details to her dress
Select each doll part one at a time, face, hands, and legs, and use a cutout with these settings
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 100
Blur = 5
Shadow
Color = same as outline
Fill interior with color (checked) = same as
fill
Now select each of the dolls dresses one at a time and use a cutout with these settings
Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 100
Blur = 6
Shadow
Color = same as outline
Fill interior with color (checked) = same as
fill
and then choose a much lighter color and add some little details
Now select inside both the dolls hair, "selections" "modify" "contract" = 1
(Shift - B) and adjust the brightness = 20
"selections" "modify" "contract" = 1 again
(Shift - B) and adjust the brightness = 20 again
Now select inside the girls hair, using the magic wand and holding down your Shift key to select all the inside areas
repeat the same steps
selection, modify, contract = 1
adjust the brightness = 20
selections, modify, contract = 1
adjust the brightness = 20
deselect
Give the dolls some little eyes and cheeks and your finished :o)
