STEP 4:

1 As we have made a base shape for the hair, we only need to use different colours to show straw-coloured hair. For this purpose follow the hair tutorial by Clubfredd :

2. Select the skin colour and choose its light version. Use brush to apply it on different parts of body for example forehead, cheeks and lips. Select the cherry red colour for the cheeks.

3. Select the light version of the colour for the shirt, remember, its colour should be the LIGHT version of the SAME colour you have used for the shirt. Apply it using brush on different parts.

4. If you have any brush of flowers/shapes/grunge, apply it according to your idea on the shirt in order for a printed look. See the following image :

STEP 5:

1. Draw an ellipse. Select red colour for the cherries. If you wish to give it more realistic look, you may open the layer properties and select inner glow and emboss.

2. For the stick, use green colour not so dark not so light. Open its layer properties and choose inner glow in parrot green colour and emboss with dark one.
