Welcome to another of my food lessons. Did you already eat?
You will use a BladePro preset on shapes to make a peanut. Since
these nuts will be reduced down, we are trying for similarity,
instead of exactly like a peanut. I also have a selection-based
paper peanut bag for you to make.

The incredible smoke/steam on my peanuts is from the Hood's
PSP Tubes site. Sadly, the site has completely closed now.
You are on your own for smoke tubes, but you might check your
filters to see if you can create your own.

The font I used is called Tropicana and can be found on Listemageren's site.

PSP7 tool icons are from MaMaT's icon tubes.

you create from this tutorial is for your personal use only.

Supplies

Download my Lesson Supplies. Martin's
presets should be placed in the BladePro or Super BladePro Textures and
Environments folder after unzipping them.

Please drop in and visit Martin's Planet Preset & BladePro Cafe
for the rest of his amazing food presets. Thank you for creating these Martin!

As a special gift, you'll find your 'Prestigious Park participation picture'
(shown below) included in the supplies file. Please feel free to use the image on
your own pages after completing this lesson.

1. Open a new transparent 350 x 350, 16.7 million color image.

2. Set your Preset Shapes tool to Ellipse, antialias checked. Make sure
your Foreground color is black and the Background color is white.

3. Draw out two ellipse shapes overlapping each other. Peanuts
grow in different shapes, so don't panic at what you come up with.
Select your peanut. I did several to show you what they could look like.
You can do one or many.

4. Go to Effects->Plugins-> and your version of Super or BladePro.
Load the Peanut preset.

5. Change the Bevel setting to match mine in the screenshot above.
Apply the preset.

6. Your peanut is finished. Tube it now, or create many more and carefully
save in one tube later.
