Kayla's Hexing progress

[Trisha 🌅]

ooh I bet it would be much easier in a different photo editing program!
I use an older version of Paint Shop Pro that I've had for years, but it's expensive to buy.
Maybe try photopea? I've heard good things about that!

[Kayla🐉]

probably only issue is I HAVE NO IDEA how to use most photo editting programs xD
But i should give it a try

I recolored 2 more items! 
I recolored these Glasses & the hat from Aleisha's bases. (credit to Lacey as well because I believe she got the hat base from her) 


I was doing one of Trisha's Pageants! & thought this flower hat would be so cute!! So I went in and recolored it myself. (I also used LC colors on the hat and just base recolor on the glasses from babyz website)  I LOVE the way it turned out. this was my inspiration for the colors.  
Tysm for offering these bases for us to work with. <3

Trisha 🌅 okay... so I was very frustrated and walked away for awhile lol. 
& my electric keeps going out we've had 3 power outages in like two weeks for 7-12 hours each ;-;

anyway... I think I made progress as far as color goes. 
do you have any suggestions on placement? for this one I just did one pop on the blue.
Its a bit hard to understand how the placement you choose works... ive been trying to mess with it tons LOL

as well as body movement, how do you make the clothing not rotate on the body? or is it better to let it rotate? its a bit frustrating LOL

I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding your question, but I'll answer it to what I think you're asking, ha.

I think it looked great before with the multiple Popsicles on the blue background, the blue was the only thing that I would have changed (making it cottony instead of flat). You have the blue perfect now! I'd add back in more Popsicles like you had before but keep the blue the way it is now with the pixelated/cottony look.

And for non-rotating, only clothing items that sit right on the body (like tshirts) can be non-rotating. The dress you are using is created differently and there is not a way to stop rotating on that.

I hope that helps! <3 let me know if I misunderstood.

Well ya see. I tried that, even using the exact design.. but it doesnt turn out for some reason. I think because the colored bmp is so small. it makes the pops so tiny.. not sure what I'm doing wrong LOL

and its not your fault.. im terrible at explaining XD

[Trisha 🌅]

Can you show me your bmps that you've tried? Then maybe I can help better! Changing the blue background shouldn't have affected the pops, you should be able to just "pour" the other blue in there with the paint bucket in your photo editor.

[Kayla🐉]

ah, well I have no idea how to "pour" im doing it all by hand XD
That could be my problem LOL

But I think I made progress


im going to keep working on it and slowly Ill get it. 
But this pour option sounds great and I have no idea how to do it XD

[Kayla🐉]

Trisha 🌅 I think I finally did it!! 
How does this look. Honest? 
I figured out how to fill it with a layer. 
(I know its not perfect, but I think its progress)

[Kayla🐉]

ahhh!! (used the same base I have been just practicing) 
I got some patterns off of etsy.
