Animated Glitter Snowman

14... Now go back to your snowman and paint inside all the places where the ants are marching

Once you have it the way you want it, we will have to do the other 2 layers the same way.

15... Now go back to the layer palette and click on top of the one that says snowman 2 to

highlight it. Then you will want to cut off the other 2 layers. To do this… click on the eye icon

on snowman 3 layer and snowman 2 layer. Your layer palette should now look like this…

Now click back on the foreground box as you did in step 12. This time You will need to reset the …

Angel to 0 and the scale to 95

Now paint the red part again where all the ants are marching.

16… Now we are ready to do the last layer.  So go back to the layer palette and this time click

the one that says…. Snowman 1 to highlight it. Now click on the eye icons on Snowman 3 and

Snowman 2 so they have a red x. Remove the red x from the Snowman 1 layer. The layer palette

should now look like this….

Now click back on the foreground box as you did in step 12. This time You will need to reset the …

Angel to 0 and the scale to 90

Now paint the red part again where all the ants are marching. After you have it the way you want

we will want to get rid of the marching ants. To do this go to the top and click …Selections then click

Select none. The ants should now be gone.

17...  We are now done with all the red glitter in the snowman. Now lets do the gold glitter on the hat

band. This is done in the same way as the red glitter. You have to do each layer, changing the

pattern scale each time. First you need to change the pattern to the gold glitter.  Do this

the same way Your did in step 12. So go back and do step 12 again, but this time, click on the

Gold glitter instead of the red glitter.

18... Now do all of steps from  10 through 16 over again painting the hat band each time.

19... After you have done this you are done with glittering your snowman. Now we can get rid

of the marching ants. To do this go to the top of the screen and click…Selections then down to

Select none and click it. The ants should now be gone.

Now you need to save your work.

Click File > then Save as.

You can save it as any name you want, just remember what it is so we can open it in Animation Shop.

Part Two

1… Open The Animation shop and open up the snowman you made earlier.

2… The snowman is really already made so all we have to do is save it as a gif. First of all look

at the top and you will see something that looks like a piece of film strip icon. Click on that and

you will be able to see what your snowman will look like.

3... Now lets save. Go to the top and click File then click Save as. A box will appear, type in a name

that you want to call the file. Example: snowman Then click Save.  Now several more boxes

will appear. Click next each time, then finally click finish and you are done.
