Add a new layer. Chose the selection
tool - rectangle. Draw a largish rectangle and fill with your favorite wood
pattern.
Select none (Selections/none)
Change the selection tool to ellipse then add a new layer Create a fairly
plump horizontal ellipse the same width as the rectangle. If its not exact
dont worry we are going to resize it in a minute. Fill with the same wood
pattern.
Move the ellipse layer
below the rectangle layer.
Using the deform tool
- resize the elipse so that it is the same width as the rectangle. Position
the ellipse so that the rectangle covers the bottom half then make layer 1
invisible and merge visible layers.
You can leave layer
1 invisible till the end of the tutorial.
