Hey guys,

I am so bad with photoshop I shouldn't be allowed to own it. I finally figured out how to color the background. I can not figure out why I am so bad at this program, but I keep working to hopefully get better.

In the mean time, I was wondering if someone could help me draw a bird. Not a real looking bird, but more something that looks like a drawn bird. The idea is that the outline of the bird will be black, and the background of the image is completely yellow; this would then give the bird color without painting his body.

If this sounds like too complex of a job to do free, then do worry about it. I am just trying to do a project for class and would like to add that extra last step.

Thanks

EDIT: The idea is the bird is a Canary.

I like this one: bird (http://www.enr.gov.nt.ca/plc/wildtimes/fall98/bird.gif) but it is too small and crooked. I tried searching for some other picture like birds in google awhile back, but had no luck.

That looks like a sparrow. I Googled "sparrow clipart (http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&q=+sparrow+clipart&btnG=Search+Images)" and found this one:

That's pretty damn nice! Completely not going with being a canary, but I may have to live with it.

Place your black and white bird drawing on a new layer.
Set the blend mode to "multiply"
White will become transparent; black will remain black.
