Lesson 590

Zola

 

This lesson was written on July 5, 2024 using psp12.

 

If you are using a different version of PSP, the settings and filter effects may have a different effect. Play around with the settings until you get the result you want.

 

This lesson was conceived and written by me. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

I use a color scheme in my lessons. I list the colors by noting the color number in the color box in the color scheme.

 

 

Main tube is from

Masks are from

Other materials are made by myself, this will have mpd© behind it.
