Les 632

Virlen


This lesson was written on 8 March 2025 with psp12
If you work with another psp version, the settings and any filter effects may give a different effect. Play around with the settings until you get the desired result.

This lesson was created and written by myself. Any similarity is purely coincidental.
In my lessons I use a colour scheme. I mention the colours by noting the colour number in the colour box in the colour scheme.

Main tube is from
Myself

Masks are from
Tine

Other materials are made by myself, this will be followed by mpd©.

This lesson contains 43 steps
