This tutorial was written by me on May 10th, 2012 and is my own creation.

Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental and unintentional.

PSP Version used: PSP9, but should work in other versions.

This tutorial assumes you have a good working knowledge of PSP.

Supplies:

Tube of choice. I am using the work of Arthur Crowe, a PTU artist. You must first obtain the proper licensing and purchase his work in order to use it. You can find his tubes here.
