Most of this pic was done in Paint Shop Pro 7, with the occasional excursion into PSP 9 for warps and precise erasures.
The scarves were done on a separate level.
Firstly the usual squeezes and stretches to face, body and clothing were done on the background layer with Warp and Smudge. Positions were approximate at first. The calves also needed retouching to remove a large magazine logo where I wanted to put some bondage. Leg outlines were done as Bezier curves on a third layer, then erased to the right density and very slightly softened.
Next came the scarves. The gag was airbrushed on a separate layer and trimmed to shape with the eraser as usual. I didn't bother trying to erase it from over the hair ribbon at this scale, preferring to redo the ribbon as a drawn curve in the final stages. Paint Shop's "Lighten RGB" and "Colour to Target" brushes supplied the stripes, making sure they were interrupted where folds occurred. Shading brushes were used to model the cloth, adding creases and shadows. Narrow lines from the "Lighten RGB" brush added highlights to give the shiny look of silk. Smudge was used judiciously to work the creases into shape.
The other scarves were also airbrushed and erased to shape, most of the final outlines being done with Bezier curves and straight lines. A third layer carried more lines and curves in a darker version of the base colour to define the folds. The printed patterns came from PSP's "Picture Tubes" tool. I chose Multicoloured Roses for the blue scarf, Pointing Fingers for the orange, and Butterflies for the deep yellow. The Picture Tube brush lays some images, such as the flowers and butterflies, down at random angles, but the pointing fingers align themselves with the stroke.
This image was too small to rely on direct application of the tube pix, so for each scarf I drew a "picture cloud" against the plain background on the middle layer. Individual mini-pix were then selected from the cloud, copied and pasted onto the scarves, erasing and vector distorting where necessary to fit the folds and perspective. The Fingers were drawn in the cloud with several sweeping curves in different directions. This provided enough individual fingers to fit the perspective with hardly any alteration.
Once the scarves were patterned, I shaded them as usual, giving them strong highlights to simulate silk. The lines on the top layer were lightened, darkened and/or partially erased to complete the modelling.
Finally, light and shade were added to the background layer to simulate the scarves compressing flesh and cloth. Some of the early modelling needed slight adjustment to match the scarf shapes. Erase the remnants of the picture cloud, draw in the little loop of hair ribbon, and voila! Merge layers and save in the format of your choice.
It's by no means an attempt at serious bondage, just a bit of fun with a cute and quizzical-looking lady, but the technical challenge entertained me for a couple of long evenings.
