Old Skool Tutorial

 

This tutorial was written by Me on the 30^th September 2013 and is all my own idea. Any resemblance to other tutorials is purely co-incidental and not intended.

For this tutorial you will need to have a knowledge of working with layers, plugins and paint shop pro. No outside scraps are used in this tutorial.

What you need:-

Psp filters

Blinds

Weave
