1.  Create a new image with a transparent
background. I worked on a canvas 400x400 pixels. Choose the Selection
tool and in the Tool Options Palette choose the Triangle
shape from Selection Type (Feather 0, Antialias
checked). On your canvas, select and upside down triangular area. The size
that you choose to make it is up to you - about a third of the width of
the page works well. When you have your selection, go to Selections/Modify/Expand...
and expand your cone by about 5 pixels - this will give it a rounded look. |
2. Select a dark tan (e.g. R:140 G:100
B:38) for the background colour & a lighter (e.g. R:229 G:205 B:107)
for the foreground. Flood fill the selection with a Linear
Gradient with an Angle of 270. Download 
to your Textures sub-folder in your Paint Shop Pro folder on your
hard-drive. Now go to Image/Effects/Texture... Under Texture
choose the texture you just downloaded from the list then use the
following settings: size 80%, Smoothness 0, Depth 2, Ambience
0, Shininess 0, Color White, Angle 124, Intensity
50 & Elevation 30. Go now to Images/Deformations/Cylinder-Vertical...
& move the slider along to 25%. |
3. Keep the cone selected and create a New
Layer. Go to Image/Effects/Cutout... & use the following
settings: Don't check Fill interior with color, Shadow
Color make black, Opacity 60, Blur 50, Vertical
-10 & Horizontal -15. This just gives your cone a bit of depth.
Your can now deselect your cone (CTRL+D). |
4. Create a new layer. Select the Preset
Shapes tool set to Shape Type Ellipse, Style Stroked, Line
Width 20 Antialias checked. Using the light tan colour you used
for the rest of your cone, start the ellipse a couple of millimeters above
the centre of the top of the cone and expand it until it's just past the
edges. Don't worry if it'd not 100% centred - you can always use the Move
tool to reposition it. |
5. Choose the Selection tool &
in the Tool Options Palette choose the Ellipse shape from Selection
Type . Make sure Feather is 0 & that Antialias is
checked. Start the ellipse selection in the centre just above your newly
drawn ellipse & continue until you've selected about one of those
little grey "transparent" box sized excesses on either side,
then delete the selection. |
6. Almost finished the cone! Using the Magic
Wand tool, select the little bit remaining from the ellipse. Go to Image/Effects/Inner
Bevel... and select the Round preset then change the following
settings: Width 12, Smoothness 16, Depth 2 Ambience
0, Shininess 0, Color R:169 G:151 B:125, Angle 0, Intensity
50 & Elevation 58. Like the ice-cream scoop, I suggest that you
merge the layers and make this into a picture tube now. In the next step
we put the ice-cream and cone together. |
